We had a wonderful stay at Skyrim Lodge in Lake Tekapo. The keyless check-in process was seamless, which made getting in and settling down a breeze. Our two-bedroom unit was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable. We were completely captivated by the view—the dazzling, snow-capped mountains were a sight to behold. A truly fantastic place for a getaway.

Clean, tidy unit in a quiet suburb within walking distance of the main town strip. The bed was comfortable, the internet stable, the aircon was quiet and efficient and the tv was huge. There were some nice tea/coffee amenities and they had ecostore brand shampoo and body soap which I appreciated. Easy check-in and check-out process, would stay here again.

The little apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. There is no reception office, and the message with check-in instructions from their staff never came through. We ended up calling and got the room number and key code verbally. It all worked out.

Not quite walkable to shops but nice and quiet new subdivision. Property clean and has everything you need. Thought the daily knock on your door to top up items too invasive. Prefer a number I could text if I needed anything.

Luxury, if only we had chairs for the deck, it would have been perfect. Make sure you have downloaded a movie to watch on their ginormous TV! You don’t have to worry about after hours check-in due to self check-in.
