We had an excellent stay for 2 nights at Ranginui B&B. Location was great, a beautiful 25min walk into town or a short 5min drive. Incredible views across the the lakes and mountains. The rooms were beautiful and unique but tastefully decorated, comfy bed, large designer bathroom & private balcony. Ann-Maree was a friendly welcoming and knowledgable host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & everything Lake Tekapo has to offer.

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.

Lovely property and amazing hosts

Reviewed By AviationNZ

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a South Island road trip. As the property only has two rooms in a hosted BnB arrangement, the service was impeccable and it was great to spend time talking with the hosts Kevin and Jenny. The room itself is beautifully appointed and an excellent bathroom. Kevin and Jenny make the most amazing breakfast too!

Handy for the lake and church

Reviewed By Graham W

This is a very roomy apartment with a good view of the lake and the new pedestrian bridge from the lounge. It is in a quiet location but within walking distance of the historic church beside the lake. The bathtub was great to soak in after a long drive. It was good to be able to watch TV from seating rather than beds. The double bed is very comfortable. There is a full kitchen, and we can have breakfast whenever we want so don’t need to set the alarm. The dining table is big enough to double as desk. The single bed one of us slept in was not so comfortable. Because the apartment is on the ground floor, the owners live on the first floor and the floors above are wooden, there was quite a bit of noise from above when the owners came home quite late in the evening after we had gone to bed.

Fabulous new home with separate 2 bedroom suite below owners home upstairs.

Reviewed By petercoombe23

Outstanding newly built property overlooking the lake with wonderful views. Very well appointed and decorated. Could not fault the style and cleanliness of the bedroom ensuite together with the adjoining lounge/kitchen. Owner was friendly and informative with only one issue, he came into the shared lounge area at 8am (while we were sleeping) the next morning prior to us checking out at 10am. Thought he should have waited until we left before emptying the rubbish bins. Brilliant position & views!
