The staff weren’t welcoming at all. We reached late on a rainy day, were not sure how to enter the premises, nobody picked up the phone. The property management were not in communication really. I picked up the key envelope from the reception. The property is nice and clean overall with all amenities.

Location was great being a 2 minute walk to the lakeside/swimming. However, as local NZ'ers, we felt it was overpriced given other properties we have been staying at (for similar prices) during our South Island road trip. The pricing was definitely geared to international travellers!

Not exactly as perceived from photos
We had a decent stay here. I thought the photos from the room of being near the lake meant we were actually closer to the lake (i.e. truly at the edge). Instead the space between the patio and the lake pictured is actually a driveway for the other vehicles and RV's- so its not as peaceful as expected from the photo. In addition, we were in room 6 of the motel, which happens to be next to the laundry room, so we did have noise from people using the laundry room. Otherwise a good stay, just a few unexpected things.

This is our place to stay every time we go to Lake Tekapō. Right by the lake, walking distance to the hot springs and Mt John. The cabin we stayed had everything we needed to cook our own meals and stay comfortably with two young children and two elderly adults, as well as myself and my husband Will definitely stay again next time we are in Tekapo
