An incredible location right on the lake front with a reserve in front making it an unobstructed view. The kitchen facilities are sensational so there's no need to eat out. All facilities are clean and constantly maintained and kept clean. We booked a double bunk bed room with private bathroom. An excellent sized room that is well appointed and has so many charging points (both secure and out in the room).

Hannah New Zealand

Loved the place overall! Very clean, modern facilities with a nice design, and located literally in the most convenient part of town.

Christian New Zealand

Pretty new facilities, very close to the good shepherd church via a newly built bridge. Large chilling storage for food and ingredients. Great view towards Lake takepo. Good value for one night stay. Duvet and beddings are also warm and comfortable.

Morgan China

Fabulously situated on foreshore of lake Tekapo. Very Well designed facility with everything one needs and more.

Jenny New Zealand

Superb guest service, the staff were amazing, friendly, and approachable. It was a breeze communicating with them, they even suggested a good place with yummy ramen. Our room and bathroom were very clean and spacious and the shower temperature was perfect. The view at the shared lounge was just spectacular as well. The shared kitchen was also very spacious and clean although we didn't get to use it. Probably will when we come back for another visit. Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants; we also thoroughly enjoyed our walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd.

Sheryl New Zealand

Great location and view, clean and comfortable, although we did not use them the kitchen/dining and lounge area's look great.

Peter New Zealand
