Tailor Made Tekapo Accommodation - Guesthouse & Hostel

Lake Tekapo

Offering a children's playground, a guest lounge and budget accommodation options, Tailor Made Tekapo Accommodation - Guesthouse & Hostel is located in Lake Tekapo. Guests enjoy free on-site parking. Guests enjoy unlimited WiFi per day. We stayed in a private room with connected bathroom and it was much bigger than we were expecting. Probably just a bit bigger than a standard hotel room but for the price I was really surprised to have so much space and a nice bathroom. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with plenty of street parking, and the grounds were lush with grass and flowers when we visited in spring. We had a late check in and the keys were waiting for us in an envelope at the reception area so it was super easy to check in, and there's a key drop box so check out is easy as well. We didn't have a chance to use the kitchen but the facilities looked nice.

Stay In Tekapo Backpackers

Lake Tekapo

Situated in Lake Tekapo, 45 km from Mt. Dobson, Stay In Tekapo Backpackers has a garden, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities, as well as free WiFi. All rooms boast a kitchen, a TV with cable channels, and a shared bathroom. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. The bed was soft and comfortable. The room was big and there were only 3 bunk beds so I could use enough space. The room was warm and there were extra bedding as well, anyone can use them. Lounge, kitchen and toilet were clean and I saw the staff cleaning there eagerly. Every staff are so sweet. Location is also good. It might be a little bit expensive compared with other accomodation but I want to stay here again.
