Lake Tekapo hotels & accommodations

We booked the whole apartment option and the house was fantastic. The cookery and beddings were all good. But I still have to point out a few things to improve: 1. At this price range, complimentary wifi with 2 GB bandwidth limit seems a bit penny-pinching. 2. The under-stove oven worked fine but as we preheated it the foul odor from previous cooking fumed the whole li...

At Lake Tekapo where everything costs so much, this 2 bedroom cabin was a very good find. Its view was awesome though there was some road works going on, and is equipped with simple pots and pans, oven, salt and pepper for your simple cooking needs. The bathroom is surprising very big, warm and spotless. Highly recommend this place that is adequate for 5! The loca...

We stayed at Pukeko Palace (3 bedroom house), the house interior design is so beautiful and modern. The kitchen is perfect, living hall is spacious, bedrooms are very cozy. They provide washing powder, washing machine and clothes dryer. The location is near the historic Good Shepherd Church, the Lake Tekapo and the mini town. In the town, got a Tekapo 4 square supermar...

Might overshot the place but driving in New Zealand town is within 30-50 so can find it with ease. They do have rice cooker and all the appliances plus cutleries. Our house do not include the skylight whereby you can open and view the stars which is disappointment. It has a small patio but we cant simply view the stars from outside as it very cold. Most of toiletries...

I went to lake tekapo to view beautiful thousands of stars other than lake Tekapo itself. This hotel is quite close to Church of the Good Shepherd by walk within 5 minutes. And you can go to office of Eart I h & Sky / village center by walk within 5 minutes. the room was very cleand and wide enough for solo traveler. I recommend to couples or family to stay here. Ms. A...

Everything is excellent except that it's quite expensive and there is no heater for the bathroom...it's too cold in winter when using the bathroom. And will need to carry your luggage , walk through some steps on a short path to the entrance of the house The house is cozy, everything is new, fully equipped kitchen.

I had the best stay ever. The apartment was modern, spacious, and most importantly, warm! We could see the night sky on the bed from the window, kitchen and bathroom amenities complete. Modern dishwasher and washing machine, Netflix and WiFi! Best of all was the service, going out of her was to make our stay wonderful in Tekapo. 100% recommend. Thank you so much!...

Three Rivers Lodge is in a quiet location slightly out of town. Our room was well-appointed and very comfortable with lovely views over Lake Tekapo. Our hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming and provided a delicious breakfast and excellent conversation. They provided recommendations on restaurants for dinner and places to visit. We had a nice walk along the lak...

What a cool pad. Very nicely decorated and perfectly clean and cosy. The accommodation was beautifully presented with quality bedding and a well equipped kitchen. Included dishwasher, dryer, and even a tv at the end of each bunk. Lovely views and so peaceful. Thanks for having us.

Typically, we stay at 4-5 star, large chain resorts but we were tremendously pleased with the comfort and charm of of Tekapo Heights. Sam was very polite, thoughtful, and made good recommendations. Having come from a disappointing and expensive hotel the night before in another NZ city, the attention to detail in our room was very much appreciated. Everything ran s...

Had a wonderful stay here at Majestic View. Location online is misleading as the address stated is actually the administrative office. Have to drive up further higher to reach the house. Took us a while to find the house, it’s actually inside Manning Place, further up in Lochinver Avenue. Despite the difficulties in locating the house, the entire place is huge, clean...

Amazing place with nice touches such as the heated floor in the toilet, smart TV system. Great shared laundry facility as well. We loved this place in the cold autumn nights and it was close to everything you need (food, supermarket), which was just down the hill. The area was nice and quiet ,and provided and a great morning view of Lake Tekapo!

It wasn’t on my plan to stay here. I urgently booked this place since I missed my bus, so I was a little frustrated but it turned into a good fortune cause the place was really stunning! The owner of the place was so friendly, kind and welcomed me. There were cute snacks for me, the room was more than perfect and the lake view from windows was spectacularly beautiful....

I like the design of the house. There are 3 bedrooms, comfortable and clean. The facilities are good, washing machine, rice cooker, hair dryer, wifi etc provided. Excellent starry sky at night. Near Shepherd church, 3 minutes drive. The staff is friendly.

Lilybank Cottage caught my eyes at the first time i see it. It was very beautiful, comfortable and cozy as seen in the pictures. It was very well-designed. Perfect location. It is 1 mins. walk to the beautiful blue lake tekapo , 3 mins walked to the famous Church of Good Sheperd and 10 mins walk to the city. But, we loved the cottage so much that we prefer to stay at...

I was bit surprise when I first arrived. I was expecting motel type of accommodation. It turn out more like airnbn. However I love it. Really nice and cosy room. Everything is new and clean. The mountain view is stunning and night star view is breath taking. Away from busy restraurant area, but easily get there by only few minutes drive. The Japanese household is reall...

The check-in process was seamless and everything that we needed for our stay at Lake Tekapo was packed within the cozy space. The outdoor yard was great to chill in, even though we opted to be inside most of the time. We benefitted greatly from the information that was given in a folder, and basically, just had the perfect time inside because of how everything was ju...

We stayed here for 1 night during our stay at Lake Tekapo. The cottage is a new, cosy, self contained accommodation providing all the essentials for a short stay. Parking is off street. Location is only a 2 min drive from main street with dining and shopping requirements. The Lake Tekapo region is absolutely stunning and the cottage was perfect to complement the stay.....
We had communication issues with this unit - it changed ownership after we booked - and we did not receive accurate check-in information. It created a huge headache on our arrival, thank goodness we had a phone plan. I’m not sure if that was on Agoda or the owner. The unit is fine, on par with others of its kind. Our major gripe was that there is no AC (it does say th...

Nice place that feels almost like home, also not far from the Church of the Good Shepherd. In fact, you can see it from the balcony. Bad thing is the cold temperature comes through from the floor and the place makes a creaking sound whenever someone walks. Other then that, it is really a good place to stay.

great service from the hosts, located in quiet block but you still can see the lake view. it is about 10mins or 2 mins drive from the town centre. inside the room was very clean, match the hotel standard with attention to detail from every aspect of the room. host also cooked brilliant breakfast. so will definitely coming back

Didn’t have many choices as I did last minute booking for stargazing and have to find a place for the night. It is a house!!!! Yes a house for a solo traveller ! Amazingly garden and animals. House is cozy and nice. A group of friends or a big family should definitely come and stay here. Quite comfy!

Out of all the accommodations we stayed during our trip to New Zealand, this was definitely not value for money. Considering how expensive the accommodation was, we were quite disappointed. The pans in the kitchen we not usable, the non-stick pans had tons of scratches. The dish drying rack was dirty and oily. We had to wash all the pots, plates, cutlery, dish drying r...

The location of this place was very convenient, walking distance to the church, the dog statue and the lake was just a 3 minute walk to the main road. The house was beautiful and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped and we cooked quite a few meals here. There was a nice bench outside, perfect for chilling with crisps and beer :) The only feedback I had was that a...

we had an amazing time in this wonderful house two of our group hadnt seen each other in thirty years ,extremely comfortable ,we didnt want to leave ,the best views in lake tekapo lovely linen beds furniture space etc cant wait to find an excuse to visit again

I went with my friends in a group this time. We rented a car and this place has a really good place for you to park your car. The accom is big and spacious and very clean. The rooms are more than adequate and the toilets are clean. The living room and open kitchen are my favourite spots cos there was space for us to hang out together even at night when we are back from...

Simple wonderful view of the lake and the Church of Good Shepherd is a must go. Though nothing is in it, but you will just feel amazing in it.
If you are not a big fun of astronomy, no need to stay here for a night. After lunch at Kohan, you may continue your travel to the next place.
Quaint little town right on lake. Very accessible to Mount Cook. Has observatory with stunning views.
The church next to the lake tekapo is a must go, the view is so beautiful and amazing. I really wish I could live there, and don't forfeit to see the lovely starsss at night
This place is beautiful! I would have use "paradise" to describe the stunning scenery of the Lake! I was very lucky to be able to catch the season of Lupin flowers.
Hot pools, skating rink, ice tubing, fishing, star gazing and visit to planetarium are all great activities in a unique and beautiful setting.
the snow tubing and the hot pools are really their main attraction but next time we will visit the observatory.
Beautiful lake so bring cameras! Night star gazing (must do!) and the historic church is a must see in Lake Tekapo!
a very quiet place but very picturesque and a great location next to the lake and surrounded by snow covered mountains very close to Mount Cook and Twizzel (
We went fishing and caught 6 fish from the canals which was great fun. The cafe at the top of MT John was locely with spectactular views of the area and a soak in the hot pools is very relaxing.
