    Only stayed in Lake Tekapo because I wanted to walk on the Hooker Valley Track. It was reasonable accommodation a good hour away from Mount Cook. Loved our accommodation in Wee Mack and enjoyed going to the Hot Springs after our long fantastic walk to the Mueller Lake glaciers. Wanted to see the stars but it was either cloudy or the moon was too bright to get that dark sky/ full of stars effect. The Summit sky activity has to be booked at least one month in advance.

    Lake Tekapo is a beautiful location, with lots to see and do. A car is needed to see the full extent of the Lake and surrounding districts. There is a lot of choice from self-cook to takeaways and eat-in restaurants. Something for everyone.

    An absolutely stunning place.

    An absolutely stunning place. The lake is crystal clear and the colour is unreal! There is very little light pollution there, so we were treated to views of the Milky Way. There are some fantastic walks around the lake and the scenery is incredible. We will definitely go back one day! We ate at a great restaurant for two consecutive nights - MacKenzies cafe bar and grill. Brilliant steaks brought to the table on a hot stone so you could cook them at the table.

    Easy to walk around Lake Tekapo in a few hours. The location is great to visit Mt Cook for a day trip. There are many star gazing options, I recommend Billy the Bard! He was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable.

    After security issues with the room, I emailed the manager.

    After security issues with the room, I emailed the manager. They reviewed their processes and agreed that I should be given a full refund for my interupted sleep due to someone letting themselves into my room. They processed the refund onto my credit card so I was satisfied with that outcome.

    Lake tekapo is beautiful, water is cool but worth a dip.

    Lake tekapo is beautiful, water is cool but worth a dip. Shops and restaurants close very early. Only one pub open till 10pm. Star gazing at night was amazing, over near the church of good shepherd was the best place away from street lights. One night here would be enough as not much else to do. Lake tekapo easy to get around and plenty of free parking around.

    It is very clean, well equipped and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so homey. The accessible bathroom is a bonus for our elderly family members. The host is also very kind and responsive, sending us reminder and everything we need to know. Among the eight different accommodations (motels, serviced apartment, hotels etc.) I stayed during my 2-week New Zealand trip, this place is on the top two :) Highly recommended!

    Beautiful one bedroom apartment with stunning 180 views of Lake Tekapo.. The apartment is upgraded with little details that just adds extra comfort feeling like home.. heated floors, wide balcony, and open roof for stargazing were the highlights. Its beautiful than the pics on the listing. Amazing host too and timely communication. Will definitely be coming back for this airbnb.. Thanks Kaori and Ban.

    We had a lovely and very comfortable stay at the Galaxy hotel in Lake Tekapo. The view was spectacular, definitely the highlight of this hotel. Everything was very clean and the staff made us feel very welcome by taking us to the room and making sure everything was up to standard. The bath was an excellent touch especially with the view being visible.

    Lake Tekapo is a beautiful place and our cabin was located just beside the lake. The view was amazing. There were couple of rabbits and ducks playing in front of the cabin which was an added bonus. The room size was ok. The communal kitchen was well equipped and spacious. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful holiday park.

    The unit has a wonderful view over Lake Tekapo. It is quiet and very functional, with comfortable bed, kitchen, modern facilities. The town is close by with restaurants and shopping. Check-in and check-out was very easy with a central office that is very efficient.

    Great location, friendly host, small room on side (garden view) parking 50m away from rooms. I know Lake Tekapo is very popular but I thought it was too pricey for what you get. Ok basic and clean.
