"We loved our stay at the Lake Tekapo Village Motel! The location is excellent--our room looked out on the lake and we were within minutes walk of the lake and all the main attractions such as the church and the Dark Sky Project. The staff were so friendly and happy to accomodate all of our needs.

"The property is beautifully situated next to the lake, offering a stunning view from the patio. However, the presence of numerous parked cars can obstruct the view, which may be disappointing for photographers or videographers. While the room is clean, the amenities feel outdated, particularly the elevated bathtub, which poses a challenge for older guests like my parents in their 70s. It also presents a tripping hazard when entering or exiting. The room's size is another concern—it’s quite...

"It is a nice spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to the town center with shops, restaurants and supermarket. Unfortunately, the management didn't clean the apartment thoroughly because there was still strong odor (food smell / cooking from previous occupants). Also there was no paper towels or dish / cleaning cloths in the kitchen. Good thing was that the bedrooms upstairs were not impacted by the odor."
