Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a cozy and stylish retreat, offering spacious and well-equipped rooms for a comfortable self-catering experience. The service was accommodating, although a billing issue was slightly bothersome. Its prime location near Lake Tekapo and the town amenities makes it a convenient choice with a park just next door.
The hotel is like staying in your own home and offers 3 bedrooms and a bathroom with a Spa to die for. The rooms, although roomy, can be expensive unless sharing costs. They feel like they have not been occupied for quite a while. The service is very personal, friendly, and professional. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to the Lake, and the surroundings are beautiful. The dining experience for brekky was pleasant, with great staff and good food.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms overlooking the pool with excellent amenities and a fully equipped kitchen. The heavy blockout curtains are a great touch to ensure a restful sleep, especially during the long summer days. The service was extremely pleasant, accommodating, and welcoming, even with personal touches like turning on the gas fire before our arrival. The location is nice and quiet, close to town and attractions, but the neighboring noise could be a drawback. The dining experience was enjoyable, with friendly staff and good food. The facilities were well-maintained, making the stay comfortable and convenient.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and had convenient amenities like a washing machine and dryer, which was great for our swimsuits and towels. However, being a two-story property might not be ideal for those who struggle with stairs. The king bed was comfortable, and the room was well-equipped for self-catering.
The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms with a fantastic full kitchen, plenty of living area space, and nice outdoor areas. However, the initial room lock issue could have been better managed. The service was welcoming and accommodating but could have been slightly friendlier. The location is convenient, close to shops and restaurants but lacks other outstanding features. The dining experience, especially for breakfast, was enjoyable with great staff. Overall, the facilities were good, providing a comfortable stay.
