Great location close to a great range of restaurants. comfortable, clean. Good hotel but a little hard to find. It would be a good gateway to Mt Cook (unfortunately the weather closed in on us).

8/10

We’ve stayed at motel for 2 nights. The room with lakefront views which are really great, everything is ok. Only the motel room interior decor is quite old and simple. Cooperative breakfasts are good and there are so many restaurants around motel /lake Tekapo . Four square supermarkets is just next door. You can feel every breath of lake Tekapo even when you stay in room.

We stayed for one night at this hotel. Convenient location with lots of amenities around. No staff there upon arrival or departure, however the check in process was easy. Unfortunately there was no parking at all available. The room was clean and had a bathtub with jets. Comfortable bed and lots of clean towels. A nice stay overall. 2 coupons for a free breakfast at a nearby restaurant were a nice touch.
