We booked two rooms online from Australia based on the rating in a well known travel publication. We were not expecting much but when we arrived we were appalled! There are no words that can describe this facility other than DON'T STAY THERE! We took one look at both rooms and immediately left, booking two lovely apartments at Peppers Resort,... More

Heavy rain forced us from our tent site to the only available place in town within a reasonable budget. We nearly drove on to Geraldine but we just needed somewhere dry to sort out our kit before we flew home the next day and it seemed silly to pay over the odds for the Peppers resort. We booked a budget... More

The only place available in Tekapo, at a sensible price, when we booked. Stayed there once before and was initially reluctant to return - but it was the only one available in a location on our itinerary. The ground floor room was compact and had a 1970's style of furnishings and decoration. It had Lake views through a patio door.... More

Filthy room, bathroom covered in pubic hairs & most disturbingly blood stains on the curtain. What made that even worse was that when we told the receptionist upon check out, all they said to us was "Sorry about that." and then just asked for payment. Clearly they are used to complaints about this hell hole as the mention of such... More

I honestly don't know how hotels like Godley manage to survive. The room was awful, the floorboards creaked with each step we took (we were in a second floor lake view room) and the toilet's hot water was erratic (extremely hot one moment and frigid cold the next) but what really took the cake was when I called the reception...

I stayed at the Godley in July of 2010, but didn't review it then, and in looking at options for a different trip to Tekapo thought I just had to add some positive thoughts. My room was fine. Nothing flash, except for the amazing, fantastic, glorious views. It was a brilliant winter's day when I arrived, and a spooky evening... More

Although the hotel room was clean, that was about the only good thing about the room. Extremely in need of an overhaul. Outdated and in need of repair. The beds were ok. One channel of tv - apparently the channels are tuned to the best possible reception. The people above us were elephants or maybe thin floors? Only 135 lts... More

i booked one night for a standard room (not budget room). we were offered a room with partial lake view at the 1st floor. quite nice views of the lake and mountains. the only thing is room looks quite outdated. found a small dead baby cockcroach in the bath tub. i was not quite comfortable staying in an outdated premise...but...

Worst place we stayed in by far in New Zealand, in fact worst place we have ever stayed in. We did not get the room we booked, we were put in the 'budget family accommodation' which we nicknamed the prison wing! We don't even think this room should have been rented out as the room next door looked like a... More
