The Godley Hotel

The Godley Hotel ★★★

📍 2 Rapuwai Lane, Lake Tekapo

"The location is good, walking distance to town center. Room condition is very old school, hot water supply via water tank, 135litres, once used up got to wait for 2 hours to replenish hot water. Water pressure is bad, and hard to adjust the water temperature."

Lake Tekapo Village Motel
9.0 (77 reviews)

Lake Tekapo Village Motel ★★★

📍 14 Rapuwai Lane, Lake Tekapo

"The location is excellent, with a supermarket right next door and beautiful scenery. However, property prices in Tekapo are high, making it not very cost-effective."

📍 10 Jimmys Lane, Lake Tekapo

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo
9.0 (230 reviews)

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo ★★★★

📍 14 Greig Street, Lake Tekapo

"Even though it was raining and we couldn't see the stars that day, the beautiful Lake Tekapo during the day was still worth the visit! Thanks to the guy at the front desk (if I'm not mistaken, he was Korean) for giving us a super scenic room where we could enjoy the view right from our window. The hotel is only a few hundred meters in a straight line from the Church of the Good Shepherd. Highly recommend staying here for stargazing at night."

"Because I need a washing machine or a clean bath towel for three days in a row, I can't park in the parking space after the snow, but I need to shovel snow when I walk in to the accommodation. I hope someone can help 🙂"

"The location was excellent, and there was a pizza place nearby, so we got takeout. The only downsides were that there was hair on the bath towel and there were no tissues."

Galaxy 3BR Modern Home with Fireplace Outdoor Spa Hotels in Lake Tekapo

Galaxy 3BR Modern Home with Fireplace Outdoor Spa

"The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but only 1 shower room. Our group of 8 had to take turns using the bathroom, which was very inconvenient. The details page didn't clearly state that there was only one shower room. Large groups should consider this option carefully, but the location is good; it's a 2-minute walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd."

Milkyway - mountain breeze lodge Hotels in Lake Tekapo

Milkyway - mountain breeze lodge

"I stayed here for two nights. From the first night, there was no hot water, and I could smell what seemed to be gas, so I urgently tried to contact the property. However, I could not reach anyone at all. I genuinely feared for my safety and tried contacting them repeatedly, but I did not manage to get a response until late on the second night. Even then, their comments gave me the impression that they were not taking the situation seriously. What should have been an enjoyable stay in Tekapo was completely ruined by anxiety, frustration, and the amount of time I had to spend dealing with these problems. There were other serious issues as well, including problems with the plumbing and a broken shower-room door. In my experience, the property did not even meet the basic standards I would expect from paid accommodation. The way the staff handled the situation was also extremely disappointing. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend against staying here."

Haka House Hostel Lake Tekapo ★★★★
"The location is unbeatable; it's less than 100 meters walk from the Intercity bus stop. The hostel's exterior with its large glass windows reflecting the lake is stunning, and the interior has high ceilings, making it feel very spacious. However, the cleaning is not done promptly, and the lobby floor was dirty. Rooms 2, 3, and 4 are very close to the bathroom, and the door kept slamming all night, making it impossible to sleep well. It's acceptable for a one-night stay, but only for the beautiful views of Tekapo."

Stellar Apartment ★★★
"The one-bedroom cottage was recently renovated, clean, and well-maintained. The kitchen was fully equipped, and it was perfect for stargazing at night. The only downside is its distance from Lake Tekapo. It's fine if you have a car, but it's about a 10-minute walk, including an uphill section, which can be inconvenient if you're carrying luggage."

Lakes Edge Lodge ★★
"This is a standard youth hostel. The dorm room was a bit small, but overall it was pretty good. The bathrooms were very clean, and it was quiet enough at night. The kitchen was also quite large, and they even support Chinese check-in, which is great!"

Lakes Edge Holiday Park ★★★
"The front desk staff were a bit distant, and there was a strong cleaning product smell in the room upon arrival, but it didn't ruin my birthday stay. This is my third time choosing this place, and it's definitely the best value for money in Tekapo. Just remember not to open the windows at night, there are too many bugs."

The Godley Hotel ★★★
"The bathroom had a really foul smell, and even with ventilation, it didn't help; it was coming from the toilet, which was quite nauseating. The main advantage of this place is its location, being close to the lake, so you can easily walk there at night for stargazing. The accommodation itself is pretty mediocre. For the same price, you'd find better lodging in Wanaka, but I guess this is just how it is in Tekapo."

Lake Tekapo Village Motel ★★★
"The room was small but warm! Breakfast was included. It was close to a supermarket, a stargazing sphere, and the Church of the Good Shepherd! There were signs in Chinese on the wall. We originally booked the best room, but we changed the date and got a refund of the difference of 84 RMB!"

"Aside from the slightly high price, the environment is quite good. The room opens directly onto a lawn, which made me feel a bit insecure since it's right by the road."
