We had such a great stay! The hotel was very nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The view from the balcony was absolutely amazing and one of our favorite parts. The bed was super comfy, and the location was perfect — an easy walk to everything. We would definitely stay here again!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Grand Suites at Lake Tekapo. The room was wonderful, the view was exceptional and the location was perfect I wish we could have stayed longer. Check in was quick and easy and they have a book in the room that explains everything about the room and how to use the fireplace.

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo – Outstanding stay This was one of our favorite stays. The suite was large, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out, with a great sense of openness. The kitchenette had everything you’d need for a proper stay — and the bathroom and shower were especially impressive: modern, spacious, and very well finished. Everything was spotless, well maintained, and clearly designed with comfort in mind. Location is also excellent — easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, the lake, and all the main sights in Tekapo.

Loved the convenient location and awesome views of the bridge and lake from our room (#21). Several restaurants nearby with a variety of food types. Very spacious room with surprising kitchen features and utensils. Loved the heated tile floors in the bathroom and fresh milk provided for Nespresso coffee in the room. Good book in room full of information on local and hotel things. Good for a week long stay but sadly we only had one night. Would definitely return for more hiking.
