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.

The house was in a lovely quiet area.
The house was very spacious with plenty of comfortable beds and two large living/lounge areas to relax in.
The kitchen was great size.
Separate toilet and bathroom for extra guests.
Our dog loved his stay too, especially watching the little rabbits hopping around outside.
We had a lovely and very comfortable stay at the Galaxy hotel in Lake Tekapo. The view was spectacular, definitely the highlight of this hotel. Everything was very clean and the staff made us feel very welcome by taking us to the room and making sure everything was up to standard.
The bath was an excellent touch especially with the view being visible.
The location was fairly convenient with about 2 min of driving to the main area for food and sights around Lake Tekapo. It is modern with good bathroom and kitchen facilities. On-site laundry was a great help. Host is readily available on the phone and was helpful. Parking right outside of the unit is a plus as well
This backpackers was one of the most spotlessly clean places I've ever stayed. Facilities were great and Zoe, on reception, was so friendly and gave us the best recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Tekapo. The view from the main window is gorgeous and it is great value for money.
The property is beautiful and close to Lake Tekapo. the house itself is huge and perfect for families, groups or anyone travelling. the backyard space is also big and beautiful. would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. very reasonably priced for what you get!
We loved the location and the view. We were in a cabin looking over Lake Tekapo with no other interference. Just perfect views. We sat out on the deck and watched the stars come out (past 11pm mind you during summer!). We had resident ducks and rabbits visit us which was fun.
Good location in regards to Lake Tekapo, shops, and the Dark Sky Experience centre (all within walking distance). A good place to base yourself while exploring further afield like Aoraki Mt Cook. Would stay again.
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!
The home was very clean, conveniently located near gorgeous Lake Tekapo. We appreciated having a spacious home, kitchen, laundry facilities, and being in convenient walking distance to town.
friendly staff on reception, room very clean and comfortable, although hotel is on main state highway - you couldnt hear any road noise. Our room had great view over Lake Tekapo
Great cosy apartment close to all facilities and sights of Lake Tekapo. Easy drive to Mount Cook NP. Apartment had all that we needed with nice balcony to enjoy a sundowner.
