Lovely little room right in Tekapo Village near all the restaurants and shops and the lakefront. Was easy to go down to the lakefront at night to look at the stars.

Get what you pay for in Tekapo

Get what you pay for in a tourist hot spot, so can't expect too much considering the price vs other hotels. Shower is very small with roof that makes it feel tiny. There was a used tissue left in the shower also. Otherwise it was fine for the night, very handy location being in the middle of the village. Nice view from the deck in our upstairs room. It's a bit noisy with other guests on the wooden walkway and there isnt a blind for the frosted main door, so the room stays quite light during the night.
Scott, 1-night trip

Great place to stay

Excellent location. Free upgrade to new building. Was a very short drive, and no view of the lake unfortunately but the building was excellent.

A great stay for me and my friends! So many things to do! We were able to hike a lot with the village motel being so close! We could walk to the lake, and see the stars at night! Loved this place!
Rebecca, 1-night trip

Jemma, 1-night trip

Room was spacious and located at a convenient location. Within walking distance to the lake and church. Very kind and helpful front desk to accommodate elderly guest with accessibility requests.

Great location and views of the lake. Clean and comfortable. Parking right outside the door. Perfect.
Wendy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful spot by the lake, quick and easy check in check out. Comfortable bed, very clean. Lovely big bathroom and jacuzzi bath was a bonus after a day walking! No complaints at all.
Jo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is in the centre of the town so you can leave your car and walk to all eateries & supermarket. Bring a blackout eye mask as the back door doesn’t have a blind on it so makes the room very bright..
Paula, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We live in penthouse , it is very clean and comfortable.
Grace, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room is quite basic but spotlessly clean. We could hear our upstairs neighbours moving about all night. Location is ideal. Parking is free but limited. Big breakfast at nearby restaurant included. Overall would recommend and Lake Tekapo area is a must visit.
Helene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at the Lake Tekapo Village Motel! The location is excellent--our room looked out on the lake and we were within minutes walk of the lake and all the main attractions such as the church and the Dark Sky Project. The staff were so friendly and happy to accomodate all of our needs. The complimentary breakfast/lunch is an excellent deal -- voucher to spend at adjacent Doughboys Restaurant which features noodles as well as homemade dumplings (order 20 minutes ahead but so handy to motel so very convenient). Thank you!
