    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.

    Lake Tekapo is a lovely town with beautiful views of the mountains and lakes. Lots of lovely walking trails and places to explore in and around the lakes. There are great cycling trails in the area too. Mountain Cook in only a short distance away. There are hot springs and pools to visit and great places to eat at.

    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful.

    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful. Take a picnic and dip your toes….icy but refreshing! Trekking with Mackenzie’s Alpine Horses was my highlight. Lots of lovely walks around the lake a local area. St.John stargazing experience was fabulous, so humbling and really informative.

    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.

    Great stay. The facilities were spotlessly clean. The holiday park has everything you could need from the kitchen, showers and bathroom, to a TV room, BBQ's, and playground. Great location to the lake/Mt John walking track and hot pools. Friendly, helpful staff. The cabins are also stocked with cooking equipment which was a great addition.

    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.

    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 Godley Hotel is in the best location imaginable. It is steps away from Lake Tekapo and the Good Shepherd Church; I booked a lake-view room and I could see both from my window.
