Take an evening tour to see the wonders of the night sky or visit during the day to enjoy the stunning views of Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains.
Beautiful room with great view of the lake, church and southern alps at Lake Tepako. Very modern, well furnished, and warm for our winter stay. Very close to cafes and restaurants. We stayed two nights for our visit and Heli hike to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay again.

Room was clean and cozy. The shower was a bit too small to use comfortably. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is right on the lake and there is a lounge and dining hall that offer stunning views. Would recommend visiting the Dark Sky Project which is directly next door.

From arrival to departure -- first rate service.
All rooms overlook Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki.
Modern, comfortable accommodation. New facility -- only 6 months old.
Executive chef prepares meals -- all outstanding.
Pleasant, helpful staff and owners.
Owner took us out for stargazing at night-- the district forbids lighting outdoors unless necessary -- allows breathtaking views of the sky.
Would recommend this lodge without hesitation.

We loved this Motel. The staff/ (Owner I think) was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean.
It is in a great location and a short drive to Lake Tekapo. The owner recommended restaurants and some places to go star gazing.

A lovely welcome by the owners to this 2 year old property.
Appreciated the lift so we didn’t have to lug the suitcase up stairs.
The room was beautiful.
Bed ultra comfy.
The views of the mountain were great. Loved their snow caps.
