Grand Suites Lake Tekapo is set in Lake Tekapo. Featuring a terrace, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.

We were upgraded to a room overlooking the lake. Breathtaking views! The room was spacious, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and heated towel rails. Bed was comfortable. We stayed just 1 night, but it was memorable - thank you 😊

The Godley Hotel, hotel in Lake Tekapo

The Godley Hotel offers country-style accommodation in the alpine village of Lake Tekapo on the South Island. The hotel is centrally located in the village with views of the lake and mountains.

Location was great room was under whelming. Room was nothing like what the website looked like bed was a double and terrible so soft you rolled out of it. Bathroom was disgusting and dated. Rooms were more like a backpackers than a hotel. Only redeeming feature was the 10% of the cafe food which was excellent

Alpine Lodges, hotel in Lake Tekapo

Situated in Lake Tekapo in the Canterbury region, Alpine Lodges features a patio. The property has mountain and lake views, and is 46 km from Mt. Dobson.

The two bedroom cabin/lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished, had a great layout and a good use of space plus we loved the interior styling. It had views over the lake, a cosy wood burner and was walking distance to town but felt more rural. The beds were very comfortable and everything we loved. The kitchen was well equipped. We really appreciated the tasty loaf of bread provided and the little Whittakers chocolates which was a lovely touch.

    Great place to visit beautiful view.

    Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly. There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go. Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later. Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

    Lake Tekapo is a lovely town with beautiful views of the mountains and lakes. Lots of lovely walking trails and places to explore in and around the lakes. There are great cycling trails in the area too. Mountain Cook in only a short distance away. There are hot springs and pools to visit and great places to eat at.

    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful.

    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful. Take a picnic and dip your toes….icy but refreshing! Trekking with Mackenzie’s Alpine Horses was my highlight. Lots of lovely walks around the lake a local area. St.John stargazing experience was fabulous, so humbling and really informative.

    Only stayed in Lake Tekapo because I wanted to walk on the Hooker Valley Track. It was reasonable accommodation a good hour away from Mount Cook. Loved our accommodation in Wee Mack and enjoyed going to the Hot Springs after our long fantastic walk to the Mueller Lake glaciers. Wanted to see the stars but it was either cloudy or the moon was too bright to get that dark sky/ full of stars effect. The Summit sky activity has to be booked at least one month in advance.

    Lake Tekapo is a beautiful location, with lots to see and do. A car is needed to see the full extent of the Lake and surrounding districts. There is a lot of choice from self-cook to takeaways and eat-in restaurants. Something for everyone.

    This is an excellent property with a great view of Lake Tekapo. The property is double glazed and well insulated and catches the sun well so is very warm. The beds were very comfortable and two bath rooms made for a great family stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the fittings throughout the house are all of a high standard. It was only a 10 minute walk down to the waterfront restaurants. Very easy pickup and return of key. The living area is spacious with great views..

    Our stay in Lake Tekapo was enjoyable, with an easy check-in process and responsive hosts. The accommodation offered comfortable beds, spacious living room and kitchen areas, and the added convenience of a bathroom in each room. The peaceful location was within walking distance to the town center, and while the shared driveway could be tight for larger vehicles, it didn't pose a significant issue.

It’s recommended! 😊

    Absolutely fantastic experience. I loved being able to sit by the large windows and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Tekapo. It was only a quick 2-3 minute drive to the town center, but the hotel itself was in a peaceful and quiet area. The bed was really comfortable, and I especially liked having a skylight right above it.

    A modern hotel with stylish interior design. The complimentary breakfast was very adequate and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The view of Lake Tekapo from our room was beautiful and the hotel is in a very convenient position. We look forward to staying at the Galaxy next time we stay in Tekapo.

    This was a great place to stay at in Lake Tekapo. I was there for one night and it had all the things I needed. The room even has a mini fridge, electric kettle, and dishes. For a short term stay, would highly recommend. Can't beat the price and the location.

    What a pleasant surprise our stay at MacKenzie Suites was! Our room (the barn) was roomy and cozy. Upon arrival, my name was on a blackboard outside of our room. Heated floors in the bath, a super view of Lake Tekapo……. Excellent all around!

    Good location in regards to Lake Tekapo, shops, and the Dark Sky Experience centre (all within walking distance). A good place to base yourself while exploring further afield like Aoraki Mt Cook. Would stay again.

    Ours was a fairly standard motel room looking over a carpark/gravel road to beautiful Lake Tekapo. Quite comfortable and the BBQ across the car park had a great view. Well presented in an older-style way.
