I had an overall positive experience at the motel unit. It was clean and cozy, with fantastic lake views. The heating mattress made it comfortable, but the thin walls did let in some noise from neighbors. It’s worth noting that the nearest dining options are a 2 km walk away, which could be challenging if you're not up for it.

The motel unit was clean, cozy, and had a comfortable heated mattress. The kitchen was well-equipped, although the bathroom was small.

Service

I didn’t directly interact with the owners much, but it felt a bit impersonal at times.

Location

The motel is right by the lake, offering stunning views, especially from the living room. It’s slightly away from the village centre, so some might find the distance tough.

Dining

I enjoyed fantastic meals at a nearby restaurant, which I highly recommend. However, dining options are a bit limited without a long walk.

Overall, the facilities were well-kept, although the thin walls were a downside.

The accommodation is positioned in a great spot with stunning views of the lake, but it falls short in several areas. While the rooms are small yet clean, the parking arrangement seriously obstructs the views, which is a big letdown. Unfortunately, the management's attitude significantly detracted from our experience. Overall, it's suitable for a quick stop, but I wouldn't choose it for an extended stay.

Rooms

The units were clean but quite small, and the shower was particularly cramped. The parking arrangement blocks the lake views.

The motel boasts fantastic views and a great location, but unfortunately, the room condition was quite disappointing. It felt outdated and not worth the price. I expected a much fresher standard for the amount I paid. The cleanliness left much to be desired, and overall, it didn’t live up to a good experience.

Rooms

The room was extremely outdated and felt like it belonged in the 80s. The cleanliness was lacking too, which was concerning.

The facilities felt very minimal and old-fashioned. The smoke detector was even covered, which was quite alarming.

The campsite offers stunning views over Lake Tekapo and is conveniently located near the village and hot pools. My experience was a mix; while the cleanliness and location were excellent, the outdated facilities and unhelpful staff left a lot to be desired, making the overall value questionable.

The location is fantastic, right by the lake and just a short walk into the village where there are plenty of dining options.
