Nice new hotel with really good breakfast. The only negative was that we were on the ground floor so people are walking past us all the time. Couldn’t have the window open due to this. If you stay I would recommend an upstairs room instead.

Check in was breezy, when I told the girl on reception I'd be leaving early morning and would miss breakfast she offered me a continental breakfast that I could keep in my room and eat when I wanted. She brought this up to my room an hour or so after check in. I loved the bathroom, it's beautiful and luxurious with thoughtful features. The hairdryer was excellent! Most of all I loved the views out to the lake and mountains, and the skylight for watching the stars. I walked into town (5mins) to grab some takeaway dinner and then just sat in the window watching the changing landscape until the sun set. The room was very quiet and warm and I had an amazing sleep, waking periodically and gazing at the stars. It was the most expensive stay of my trip but I think worth it for the views, location and comfort!

Lovely property. Skylights great and gorgeous rooms and bathroom. Only issue we had was the lighting outside the hotel is very bright. Some of the brightest lights around which, when staying in a dark sky area specifically to see stars, were emitting a very frustrating amount of light pollution!

Great view of the Lake Tekapo. During the night, for star gazing and even the moon over the lake was just magical. The hotel is obviously run by a group Asian who are always nice and respectful. While I myself is Asian, I do believe that the sensitivity of service and the breakfadt should be up near international customer service level.

It was really good; the rooms are nice and clean. Only suggestion is there is no full size or big mirrors anywhere and also the bathroom benchtop is too small. Otherwise the service and everything else is really good

Loved the property, verg clean tidy , with amazing views . An early start for breakfast would have been great as a few activities around the area(up to 60 to 90 min drive) start early . Although organised with the staff there was no one around at 715/730 for breakfast.

This accommodation was incredible. The views were breathtaking and the bathroom was probably our favourite part. A big window in front of the bath so you could look out the window to the mountains and stars! The roof window is next level perfection! Loved having a romantic stay here with my partner, stargazing and relaxing. The staff were so lovely and helpful and breakfast was delicious! Please please please book this in for your next stay!!!

The room was not in a clean state at all. Dust on all over the skirtings and soap scum and mould in the bathroom shower area. When I told the staff member at reception at check out time . She advised they only clean these areas every 2 weeks. I showed her the photos I took and didn’t seem too fussed. Wouldn’t recommend to others or stay again. Definitely not value for money.

The room was comfortable with such nice view. However, we could not see any star at all from our sunroof, it is just so dark, the photo of sunroof is misleading.
