Good location very close to everything. Beautiful location on the top floor looking over the lake. with snow capped mountains in the background. Unfortunately it was not as sunny as we had hoped therefore the lake was not bright blue as we had hoped to see. Had a toaster and kettle but no microwave or cutlery. Very neat and tidy... More

This hotel is located in an ideal location and we had the most amazing views. Although the rooms are quite dated they are immaculately clean. The staff are friendly too. Wifi is available also. Be sure to read reviews of local eating places before choosing where to eat.

Right on the lakeside with amazing views. Very clean and modern. Large bathroom with separate shower and spa. Toaster, kettle, plates and cutlery in room which is handy. Very near the shops and booking offices. Laundry onsite works well. Owners very helpful.

Awesome views from the upstairs studio room overlooking the beautiful lake across to the snow covered mountains - it doesn't get any better than this. Had a lovely little balcony to sit out & enjoy the view and to take great photos. Facilities are fantastic - right in town - plenty of food eateries & restaurants & a little supermarket.... More

Comfy beds, plenty of space and a great bathroom.There's tea, coffee and hot chocolate on offer for free and a selection of sweets to purchase. The motel is situated right in the centre of Tekapo with... More

We stayed here for a night on our way from Wanaka to Christchurch. After resolving the dilemma of staying at Tekapo vs Mt. Cook firmly in favour of the former, we weren't quite sure what to expect when we booked our room. We were pleasantly surprised. Firstly, there's the view. Even though we didn't get the best possible view (we... More

We stayed for one night in a top floor studio. The view from the room was stunning, looking out over the lake and mountains and if it were summer the balcony would have been a great place for evening drinks or breakfast. The units themselves are comfortable, slightly expensive but I guess you're paying for the location.

It was a great way to start our holiday, very welcoming and friendly staff and a fantastic room. The room was very clean and modern with a spacious bathroom and a comfortable bed, it is certainly worth the money. Restaurants and cafes 1 minute walk away. The view from the room was simply stunning.

We spent our first night of our holiday in this Motel. After travelling all day and a international flight, we arrived at this accommodation in the dark. Upon waking, our room, overlooking the lake, made for a wonderful first morning welcome to New Zealand, it was spectacular. This was a great place to stay. The staff were extremely helpful. The...

It is indeed a great location at Lake Tekapo, located at the central of the town, room with lake view are spectacular. On the pricing, it a on a high side for motel, in fact I feel that I am paying for the view. Room looked a little old, bed wasn't too comfortable and the bathroom was small.
