"We had a wonderful stay at Skyrim Lodge, with the accommodation and communication surpassing our expectations. Just a short walk to the lake and many coffee/dinner options, plus a beautiful view of the stars."

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.

An absolute luxury hotel. We opted for the lake view room and had two full walls of windows to view the lake. It was stunning. The room was excellent, with great bedding, heated floors, and an exceptional shower and bath. We ate room service, which was reasonably priced, large in size and high in quality. We were very sad to check out.

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.

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.
