Lake Tekapo hotels & accommodations

We booked the whole apartment option and the house was fantastic. The cookery and beddings were all good. But I still have to point out a few things to improve: 1. At this price range, complimentary wifi with 2 GB bandwidth limit seems a bit penny-pinching. 2. The under-stove oven worked fine but as we preheated it the foul odor from previous cooking fumed the whole li...

At Lake Tekapo where everything costs so much, this 2 bedroom cabin was a very good find. Its view was awesome though there was some road works going on, and is equipped with simple pots and pans, oven, salt and pepper for your simple cooking needs. The bathroom is surprising very big, warm and spotless. Highly recommend this place that is adequate for 5! The loca...

We stayed at Pukeko Palace (3 bedroom house), the house interior design is so beautiful and modern. The kitchen is perfect, living hall is spacious, bedrooms are very cozy. They provide washing powder, washing machine and clothes dryer. The location is near the historic Good Shepherd Church, the Lake Tekapo and the mini town. In the town, got a Tekapo 4 square supermar...

Might overshot the place but driving in New Zealand town is within 30-50 so can find it with ease. They do have rice cooker and all the appliances plus cutleries. Our house do not include the skylight whereby you can open and view the stars which is disappointment. It has a small patio but we cant simply view the stars from outside as it very cold. Most of toiletries...

I went to lake tekapo to view beautiful thousands of stars other than lake Tekapo itself. This hotel is quite close to Church of the Good Shepherd by walk within 5 minutes. And you can go to office of Eart I h & Sky / village center by walk within 5 minutes. the room was very cleand and wide enough for solo traveler. I recommend to couples or family to stay here. Ms. A...

I had the best stay ever. The apartment was modern, spacious, and most importantly, warm! We could see the night sky on the bed from the window, kitchen and bathroom amenities complete. Modern dishwasher and washing machine, Netflix and WiFi! Best of all was the service, going out of her was to make our stay wonderful in Tekapo. 100% recommend. Thank you so much!...

Three Rivers Lodge is in a quiet location slightly out of town. Our room was well-appointed and very comfortable with lovely views over Lake Tekapo. Our hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming and provided a delicious breakfast and excellent conversation. They provided recommendations on restaurants for dinner and places to visit. We had a nice walk along the lak...

This was a terrific, relatively new house. Having stayed at other places in town before, this was a much, much better option. Great views, easy to check in/out, and very comfortable. I'd highly recommend this over local hotel/motels, particularly if you're with a larger group. I was solo and still thought it was great though.

What a cool pad. Very nicely decorated and perfectly clean and cosy. The accommodation was beautifully presented with quality bedding and a well equipped kitchen. Included dishwasher, dryer, and even a tv at the end of each bunk. Lovely views and so peaceful. Thanks for having us.

Typically, we stay at 4-5 star, large chain resorts but we were tremendously pleased with the comfort and charm of of Tekapo Heights. Sam was very polite, thoughtful, and made good recommendations. Having come from a disappointing and expensive hotel the night before in another NZ city, the attention to detail in our room was very much appreciated. Everything ran s...

Had a wonderful stay here at Majestic View. Location online is misleading as the address stated is actually the administrative office. Have to drive up further higher to reach the house. Took us a while to find the house, it’s actually inside Manning Place, further up in Lochinver Avenue. Despite the difficulties in locating the house, the entire place is huge, clean...

Amazing place with nice touches such as the heated floor in the toilet, smart TV system. Great shared laundry facility as well. We loved this place in the cold autumn nights and it was close to everything you need (food, supermarket), which was just down the hill. The area was nice and quiet ,and provided and a great morning view of Lake Tekapo!

I like the design of the house. There are 3 bedrooms, comfortable and clean. The facilities are good, washing machine, rice cooker, hair dryer, wifi etc provided. Excellent starry sky at night. Near Shepherd church, 3 minutes drive. The staff is friendly.

Lilybank Cottage caught my eyes at the first time i see it. It was very beautiful, comfortable and cozy as seen in the pictures. It was very well-designed. Perfect location. It is 1 mins. walk to the beautiful blue lake tekapo , 3 mins walked to the famous Church of Good Sheperd and 10 mins walk to the city. But, we loved the cottage so much that we prefer to stay at...

The check-in process was seamless and everything that we needed for our stay at Lake Tekapo was packed within the cozy space. The outdoor yard was great to chill in, even though we opted to be inside most of the time. We benefitted greatly from the information that was given in a folder, and basically, just had the perfect time inside because of how everything was ju...
Cheap places to stay in Lake Tekapo

My husband and I both agree this is the best holiday/ caravan park we have ever stayed at. Other than our stay in Milford Sound, our stay at Lake Tekapo was our favourite during our travels in the South Island. The studio room was clean, good size & what a beautiful view of the water! Close walk to the hot spring & we loved the ducks on the grass out the front. We will...

The location of this place was very convenient, walking distance to the church, the dog statue and the lake was just a 3 minute walk to the main road. The house was beautiful and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped and we cooked quite a few meals here. There was a nice bench outside, perfect for chilling with crisps and beer :) The only feedback I had was that a...

Simple wonderful view of the lake and the Church of Good Shepherd is a must go. Though nothing is in it, but you will just feel amazing in it.
If you are not a big fun of astronomy, no need to stay here for a night. After lunch at Kohan, you may continue your travel to the next place.
Quaint little town right on lake. Very accessible to Mount Cook. Has observatory with stunning views.
The church next to the lake tekapo is a must go, the view is so beautiful and amazing. I really wish I could live there, and don't forfeit to see the lovely starsss at night
This place is beautiful! I would have use "paradise" to describe the stunning scenery of the Lake! I was very lucky to be able to catch the season of Lupin flowers.
Hot pools, skating rink, ice tubing, fishing, star gazing and visit to planetarium are all great activities in a unique and beautiful setting.
the snow tubing and the hot pools are really their main attraction but next time we will visit the observatory.
Beautiful lake so bring cameras! Night star gazing (must do!) and the historic church is a must see in Lake Tekapo!
a very quiet place but very picturesque and a great location next to the lake and surrounded by snow covered mountains very close to Mount Cook and Twizzel (
We went fishing and caught 6 fish from the canals which was great fun. The cafe at the top of MT John was locely with spectactular views of the area and a soak in the hot pools is very relaxing.
