Top Lake Tekapo Hotel Reviews

April One Bedroom Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Nice apartment, very clean and a handy spot "

Mantra Lake Tekapo

10/10 Excellent

"Location away from the village but with a few minutes walk to the lake. Beautiful apartment with everything we could possibly need. More like a home than a hotel with a backyard full of roses in bloom, decks to sit out on and to look at the stars, great lounge space and really comfortable bed. The pool is a beautiful temperature and great to swim in after a long drive to get there. The mantra is run by a lovely, friendly manager and great staff. Would highly recommend this accomodation."
