10/10 Exceptional

perfect location and very spacious suite. I do feel it's a bit old and therefore, there was some weird odor coming from the carpet when going up the stairs.
Shanil, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing and large room, gallery floor with fully equipped kitchen, sitting area and balcony with amazing view. Charming and kind staff, convenient parking. Very close to the lake and shops.

Property was in a good spot for walking into the main town centre. Felt good choices were a little lacking in Lake Tekapo. Beautiful town and we did some great activities whilst we were there.

Very good resort hotel
MITSUNORI, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unfortunately, I had the ‘Standard’ Room which was a very small dark room facing one of the car parks. A pity really when this hotel is geared up to benefit from the views of the lake or the mountains. Lesson: pay the extra for the premium rooms. Friendly staff and ok restaurant. Treat yourself as you’d probably only stay one night passing through.
Pietro, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Helpful friendly staff, great location and very nice room.

No a studio room - more like a pod - the size of the room was unpleasant surprise. Also the building design is not plrasent. Lots of noise.
