The hotel was far nicer than I expected for the price. The decor was great, the room was large and very equipped. The location was perfect being just across the street from everything in the main part of town, including shops and sights.

Super easy to collect keys that were left for us in a secure box. The shared kitchen is large and well equipped. Lovely living space and even with several other couples staying it never felt cramped or busy. Clean shared bathrooms and comfy beds. A lovely stay

Great place to visit beautiful view.
Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly.
There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go.
Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later.
Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

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.
I got the key from the lockbox; it's very convenient. The apartment was clean and had everything you needed for the kitchen. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, and it's also within a short walking distance to the town center and a nice walk to the lake. The host (Cameron) is great and extremely helpful. He provided all the local info right after I confirmed my booking. I appreciate his help when my car had a minor accident during the trip. Staying in Lake Tekapo was the highlight of my NZ trip.
Lake Tekapo, and the Lakes Holiday Park are stunning. The Park is well laid out, friendly service and in a great location.
The cabin we stayed in was excellent, very comfy and warm, and just a few steps down to the lake. Even better to sit outside at the outdoor table to enjoy the evening and view the full moon.
Location good , near to lake shore, supermarket and restaurants. Bed comfortable and decent pressure & heat in shower. Partial lake views ( but sadly much reduced by Dark Sky Project & Backpackers buildings recently built in front).
Lake Tekapo was a beautiful place, away from the city. The hotel is situated not far from the lake’s edge and our room had a scenic view from the front windows. Good restaurant on site as well as walking distance to others.
The location of the cottage was great, close to the town centre and the lake. Friendly, helpful manager. The cottage is basic and a bit dated, but it's one of the cheaper options in Lake Tekapo and has everyting you need.
A perfect spot in Lake Tekapo. the apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully appointed and had a stunning view. Be prepared to say “wow” every time you turn the corner from the kitchen to the living area.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Galaxy Boutique Hotel! The staff was super helpful and friendly and the rooms were bright and clean with GORGEOUS views. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Lake Tekapo!
Great views over Lake Tekapo from all over the apartment. Well equipped with everything you need. This was a good location to visit Mount Cook National Park and the surrounding area, would stay again!
A very modern and beautiful house! Great space and Great view, lake tekapo is not hindered by another house. A very very recommended place to stay! The stars at night were very visible and beautiful!
