We had an awesome stay at the Mantra in Lake Tekapo. Huge apartment and everything you would need for a family of 4. Also very clean and serviced daily. Heating was great as the weather was cold. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook as the restaurants were all booked or closed in the town.

Amazing Accommodation

Reviewed By travellerMelbourne

This hotel was an excellent overnight stay in Lake Tekapo and a chance to witness the International Dark Sky Reserve with millions of stars. The skylight above the giant super king bed meant you could see the stars and nebula all night. You can also press a button to close the skylight shutter, but it was much more interesting to leave it open. The rooms are super stylish and feature everything you need for your stay. Views of the lake from the room and bathroom with rainfall shower and luxury bathtub. Just a short 10 minute walk down into the town centre in this beautiful little town. Such a peaceful place.

Tekapo tranquility

Reviewed By Jessie1306

We loved our 3 night stay at Tailor Made. The animals everywhere around the grounds just made it that much more enjoyable. I thoroughly enjoyed my daily big bunny fix. We had a double room with shared facilities (that we didn’t share as it was so quiet!). The room was basic but cosy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and of a much better quality than I’d expect to find in a backpackers accommodation. Lovely hot showers and a heater in the shower room too. The kitchen was large, tidy and well equipped with plenty of seating areas. We couldn’t fault the cleanliness anywhere - it was done to a high standard. Another thing we really loved was that the signage around the hostel was subtle. There aren’t posters everywhere telling you to clean up and don’t do this or that, just a few small reminders. On that note, it is not the place to come if you want a party - the building isn’t very noise proof so it much better suits the quieter traveller and therefore, was perfect for us. Excellent location to town and all the beautiful walks around. Great work Jovana and Richard.

Lake Tekapo Cottages

This place was new a long time ago

Functionally, this place worked well for us. It was a little chilly but had a heat pump which solved that issue. It had full cooking facilities and plenty of space and a nice shower. We had comfortable stay. Yes, it's dated, but so am I.

Wonderful stay

Reviewed By PalmyNorth

My husband and I stayed here for one night and we both wished we could have stayed longer. Nice location about 15 min walk from Tekapo centre. Very peaceful, lovely views. Very clean and modern. Extremely comfy bed. Well set up if you wanted to cook anything, we weren’t there long enough for that but it would be handy if staying longer. We would love to come back and stay again.
