The shared kitchen and dining setup fostered great camaraderie. Affordable rates hit the spot. Takeaway Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches rocked!

Thin walls dialed up background noise. Felt tight on space, especially in rooms sans a view.

the stunning view and comfy bed were highlights. the lodge was clean, self, check, in was convenient, and the kitchen was well, equipped. Just a few minor maintenance issues detracted from an otherwise delightful experience.

clean rooms - close enough to the village centre - outstanding lake view from the bedroom - well-equipped common kitchen - staff quick to assist on arrival.

Would recommend.

The rooms were cozy, clean, with breath-taking lake views, and the communal area was buzzing and well-equipped for cooking. We loved hanging out and meeting new people there! the spa was super relaxing and the leisure room was chill - we spent a lot of time there after a day out. the only small hassle was the electric heater with a timer - had to keep resetting it with the cold weather outside.

Stayed at a lovely lodge near the lake for a brief visit. Great views from rooms and well-equipped kitchen for cooking. Friendly staff and spacious lounge to mingle with other guests. Convenient parking by the backdoor, ideal for short stays or access to the lake within a short walk.

Strongly recommend this hotel.

Free parking and shared lounge were a hoot! Mt John Observatory was far but intriguing. Cowans Hill was a healthy stroll away, not bad!

Oh, hearing my neighbors was such a blessing, I had forgotten what silence sounds like!

The room was spacious, perfect for our crew, and the kids loved the cozy living room for evening movie marathons. the outdoor patio with the stunning lake views was our family's favorite spot for breakfast chats and sunset gazing.

My wife says that having a kids' play area on-site would have been a cherry on top.

We enjoyed the outstanding lake view from our bedroom. the lodge's facilities were well-equipped, from the shared kitchen to the cozy lounge. Close to everything in town, making it convenient for us to explore the area.

I absolutely loved the convenient location of this lodge, just a short walk to the town center. The rooms were well kept and the staff friendly. the heater timer was a bit tricky to figure out, and the rooms were a bit cramped with thin walls.

Staff helped with town info on first stay. Lodge suits me perfectly. Free Wi-Fi, parking, spa, flat-screen TV. Adults only, shared kitchen, no smoking. Coming back for business trip.

amazing views, clean rooms, well-equipped kitchen/dining area, helpful staff - exceeded expectations during a long weekend in Tekapo.

sound isolation not great

The view from the balcony of my twin room was absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful sight of the lake every morning.

The shared kitchen was smaller than expected.

We just fell in love with this place! the breathtaking view from the room and lodge was absolutely amazing. Our lake view room with private bathroom was exactly as shown in the pictures. the shared kitchen and lodge area were tidy and cozy. the owner and manager made sure we were happy and the service was impeccable. Definitely a money-worth place to stay. We will definitely come back again.

Nothing to mention 🙌

The TV had a wide range of channels and the WiFi was reliable, which was convenient for entertainment and staying connected. the stunning view from the room provided a beautiful backdrop for our city break, adding to the overall experience.

The small size of the room, with limited storage space and thin walls. We could hear noise from neighboring rooms, which affected our sleep quality.
