The hotel is very satisfactory. It is very cost-effective in the peak season. The facilities are complete and clean. The lake view room has Lake Tekapo as soon as you open the door. The Church of the Good Shepherd is within walking distance and it is very convenient to eat around.

Very good location with walking distance to the good shepherd church. However room is very old with even no table and one single outlet only.. The balcony is a hallway connecting all rooms leaving no privacy. Front desk stuff was helpful.

The hotel is not in the main building, the facilities are simple, but it is the closest hotel to the tourist attraction Church of the Good Shepherd, with complete supporting facilities around, beautiful environment, very convenient. It is very close to Lake Tekapo.

I went out to stargaze in the middle of the night and accidentally locked my room card in the room. Since there was no 24-hour front desk, I had to wait until 7 a.m. to get into the room. It was really embarrassing. Fortunately, there was an extra single bed in my friend's room, so we squeezed in and slept for two hours.

It's a motel. Although I asked the front desk to give me a quieter room, the room I got from Ctrip was the one near the road, which was still a bit noisy. The service and facilities were average, but it was convenient to go to the Church of the Good Shepherd to see the stars.

You can see the lake outside the window. There are outdoor tables and chairs after opening the floor-to-ceiling sliding door. You can see the lake, mountains and birds from your window. It's refreshing. The facilities in the house are the standard of ordinary motels. The bathroom is a little small.

Overall it's good. The service attitude is good, and they reserved a key for me. Although the room is not big, it is enough for one night. It's not facing the lake, but it's only 5 minutes to walk to the lake. It's recommended not to include breakfast. Just go and order food yourself.
