The property is perfectly situated. It is close to town, which makes access to shops and restaurants very easy by foot. Despite its proximity to town, it was very quiet. Staff very helpful!

A safe and convenient place to stay near Lake Tekapo. Our host was awesome and shared knowledge about places to eat and see. Our room(2) was comfortable and well stocked. The beds were comfortable/sheets were clean. The only recommendation I would make would be to clean the mold on the ceiling in the bathroom above the shower. For an older motel this is a quant place to stay!

Location is the key. It’s a no frills motel. Just simple amenities at value prices. Clean room good location. Check in and out self service. For independent travellers. Love it and will stay again

Great location, located right in the hub of town and less than 5 minutes walk from Lake Wanaka. Stayed in the winter and the heated blankets were awesome, alongside multiple room/portable heaters. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate were generously provided in the room, there was ample utensils and kitchenware to cook up a decent meal. WIFI was strong, toilet was big, beds were comfortable. Booked this property super last minute (the morning of arrival) but had a very pleasant stay.

I've honestly never had such terrible/disappointing customer service. I was so excited to go to Wanaka, we decided to book when we arrived in Tekapo, but the next day the roads were closed so we had to drive home. I assumed the motel would refund the amount since it wasn't under our control and had been a last-minute booking anyway. Instead, they said I could rebook for another day - problematic since we live nowhere near Wanaka and I'm disabled (it takes a lot of planning to stay somewhere new). I asked again for a refund as this aligns with the Fair Trading Act, and they refused, saying I could only rebook in July. So I tried that and found they wanted to charge me double the original amount because it was a 'busy month' for them. I will be taking them to the tribunal because $200 may seem like nothing to them, but it's a lot of money to lose for me.

Location is the only real positive and value for money is ok. Room small despite being "one of our larger". Very noisy, clearly hear neighbours and outside. TV a waste of time (no sky).
