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.

The location was pretty much unbeatable! Right across the lake, the views were nice. We travelled with a car, so the parking lots were right outside the room building.

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.

Fabulous location - 5 minutes drive from the town yet secluded enough to feel like you are in the wilderness. The wood fireplace was extra special and the bed had the most comfortable doona that was warm but so lightweight it made you just want to cocoon. The design of the cabin was well thought out and you wondered how they managed to place all amenities in such an organised way. Sam the manager was extra helpful and friendly . We organised a fishing tour with Tim who went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience.

    Tiny little village with supermarket , tourist shops and cafe and restaurants. Some of the restaurants when we stayed in June appeared to be not open scenery is stunning and you would definitely go on a star gazing tour at nite to see the Milky way. We went with chameleon highly recommend that outfit. We had 3 nites which was plenty The town is about half way between Queenstown and Christchurch so makes for an ideal stopping point. Easy access to Mt Cook as well as lots of other stunning scenery. So peaceful and tranquil just the area to chill and relax.

    I always stop in Tekapo to eat and look at the view. It was the first time I stayed in the town. It was really cool to go to the hotpools, which I didn't even know existed, and explore more of the local restaurants.

    We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort. The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings. The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food. We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake. Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

    I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    I stayed in one of the cabin rooms with shared bathrooms, and the cabin was very modern and nice, w a comfy bed and space for my luggage. I really liked that it was right next to the lake and the hot pools, and it was really nice to walk the 5-10mins along the lake to the shops for breakfast. I thought this place was really great value! Staff were really helpful and had good recommendations for star gazing tours. Be aware these cabins were right next to the backpackers area, so a little busy.

    It is very clean, well equipped and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so homey. The accessible bathroom is a bonus for our elderly family members. The host is also very kind and responsive, sending us reminder and everything we need to know. Among the eight different accommodations (motels, serviced apartment, hotels etc.) I stayed during my 2-week New Zealand trip, this place is on the top two :) Highly recommended!

    The staff was wonderful. Friendly and polite, very kind. The room was very comfortable, with an incredible view. The sun shining into the room in winter made it very comfortable and warm. You can relax on the balcony overlooking Lake Tekapo. The sunrise is also beautiful. You will be well located, in front of all the shoppings.

    This is my fourth time stopping in Lake Tekapo on my way from Christchurch to Glenorchy. For the location and value, I would choose this motel over the two others where I've stayed in Lake Tekapo. This one was quieter and cleaner than the other two.

    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!
