"Lake tekapo is just behind the hotel. Very convenient for you walk to the lake. The room is good for 2 peoples. Heater really useful because lake tekapo temperature is quite low and cold. Front desk customer service also quite friendly and helpful. They try arrange the room side by side each for my friends and us. We had a ground floor, so that we do not need to carry luggage go up the staircase"
"Awesome place to stay. 10/10. This hotel is located in a lovely place. Definitely will comeback to this hotel soonest. Me and my wife enjoyed our stay in here."
"It was my first time staying in a homestay apartment. It was very clean overall. We arrived late and the old landlord kept waiting. It was very hard for the old man to sleep so late. I am very grateful to him. The two rooms are very homely and warm. There are air conditioners and fireplaces, which are very comfortable in winter. I have two children who are 4 and a half years old and they were charged extra... This was unexpected. Generally, it is OK for children of this age not to occupy beds, but it was too late and the whole family was very tired, so we didn't care. It is more important to communicate with the landlord in advance. I don't know why there is a charge. We didn't have breakfast either, which needs to be ordered in advance. Other experiences are good"

"Check in by yourself, the boss is Chinese, you can communicate in Chinese, the location is very quiet and not noisy
But the bed was soft, especially on the side, it collapsed, and the roof often made noises. The room was affixed to the sound of wood heat and cold. I thought it was an animal fighting on the roof."

"Parking beside the road. Self Checkin so need to arrange in advance to get the door access. The room a bit small but the facilities in room very new. Checking out on the dot as it’s peak season. Clothes still very wet after one round cotton function on dryer."

Very Good
GGuest UserThe room was large and clean. There was a sofa bed in the living room that could accommodate five or six people. We caught fish at the salmon factory and cooked them in the kitchen at night. It was delicious.
TTrace yeoThis is a cute little boutique hotel situated near to Lake Tekapo and 15 mins drive to Mount John. It is good location as it is very near to the city centre where many shops, restaurants and a big supermarket are located. The service of this hotel is tip top and they serve breakfast to your room on a daily basis so we can eat while enjoying the lake view . Breakfast is great as well and I would like to give special comment about this hotel staff (Yvonne) who is very helpful and friendly and made good recommendation where to visit around Lake Tekapo. The room although not too big but it has a starlight which we can gaze the stars from the bed, it is quite interesting (but the room has to be in complete darkness). It is also near to the Church of the good shepherd and the view is so spectacular sitting just beside the lake.
GGuest UserThis was by far the best place I stayed at while traveling through New Zealand, even though there wasn’t anyone there to check us in. The process was still incredibly easy—getting the check-in information emailed to me was simple and straightforward. When I arrived, the room was clean, modern, and cozy, and they even left us a small gift since it was Christmas Eve. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel extra special. The unit also had laundry facilities, which was a huge bonus after living out of our suitcases for over a week. I would definitely stay here again—it had everything we needed and more, making it feel like a home away from home.
GGuest UserGood view for lake tekapo and quiet place away from crowds but a bit far from the town. A connection with nature when you enjoying your food outdoor and surrounding by ducks and seagulls. Got all kitchenware at your room and you need to bring them through when you need cooking. Nice interactions with other travellers
GGuest UserGood location, lucky to see the Antarctic light
The room is very hygienic, the kitchen is complete
Breakfast sun shines in the living room, too comfortable
CCharm-HUGE space. Thankfully the rooms were on the first level and the living room was on the second level so we did not have to lug the luggages up stairs. Only had one toilet for two rooms, wish there could be more toilets. Otherwise, everything was pretty clean. There was also a space with alpacas and lamb facing the room. Near the main lake tekapo shops. (Just across the road)
JJacq SGreat Stay Near Lake Tekapo!
The unit was sparkling clean and spacious, with a lovely courtyard to enjoy. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest.
Contrary to some reviews, no deposit was required, which was a pleasant surprise. The location is fantastic—less than a 5-minute drive to Lake Tekapo—and parking right in front of the unit was very convenient. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow.
The facilities were great overall especially kitchen amenities and 2in1 washer with dryer!
The dish wash machine helps lot on the kitchen cleaning work!
The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to add a fence in the shower area to separate the wet and dry zones, which would make it even better.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!
HHappykeyThe scenery outside the window is stunning, with a view of the lake and snow-capped mountains. It is very relaxing to enjoy it quietly with a cup of coffee in the morning. You can see the stars while sitting indoors at night without fear of freezing weather. The overall facilities are complete and tidy. There are two bathrooms in the house, which is very convenient. Plenty of hot water. There is a private parking space. Will stay again. 
FFayreWe are couple with a 5 year old girl. We paid SGD697.85 (Singapore dollar) for staying 2 nights in this “2 bedroom apartment” as stated.
3 points here to explain the terrible experience.
1. tv remote is not working. I don’t mind the owner making excuse like “ replied customer’s message within 20mins…..” but they actually took 29mins to reply (19:10 till 19:39). In fact, they didn’t manage to change the tv remote in the end. So I stayed 2 nights without using the TV!
2.there is no clear and obvious description that this “2 bedroom apartment” is actually an adjoining unit which means when u walked into the front door then there are 2 doors link to split parts of the apartment. The problem of adjoining units are thin walls are used to split the apartment into 2 small units. When u stay in this kind of apartment, u have to endure all kind of noises from whoever staying in neighboring rooms. We had 2 days enduring guesting from the other room shouting, slamming the door, kids screaming like crazy both early in the morning and afternoon!
3. When I reflect this bad experience with trip.com customer service, this hotel responded like they have no fault at all and played with words. This attitude makes us feel like being fooled. We paid money to expect to stay in an apartment with privacy and quiet environment but indeed we had such a bad experience!
In this market, if it’s an adjoining unit, they should not charge at the rate as if it’s an entire apartment.
I’m alright that they rejected to refund the extra amount they charged. Just have to reflect the facts in the review.
Thanks.
SSalami00000It's only a few minutes drive to the lake and the house is new and clean. The staff are also happy to help. However, there is a kitchen, but it is puzzling that there is no dining table and chairs. Do you eat standing up after cooking? I hope the owner will add that reading, chatting, and eating are not possible without tables and chairs.
