Three Rivers Lodge is located off the southern banks of Lake Tekapo, in the shadow of New Zealand’s picturesque Southern Alps. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

The room and bathroom were lovely. It was nice to sit in the garden and admire the amazing view. We were welcomed and checked in by a delightful Chinese girl. A very comfortable bed ensured a good nights sleep.

    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.

    The location & views were awesome. We found the walkway down to the main road super easy & convenient. This is a modern, stylish, well designed villa that was absolutely lovely to stay in. Probably one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in - it was bliss!!
