The room was very clean and presentable. The owner Erin was very friendly and accommodating. There was some miscommunication in the check-in process but Erin was able to correct it promptly. Convenience location to lake Tekapo. Good breaking the drive spot.

Absolutely lovely. Extremely clean and new owner is lovely and has refreshed the place, the photos are out of date and the place is even nicer than the photos show. The family suite comes with a fully equipped kitchen including oven and hob which was an unexpected bonus. Would recommend, shame we didn’t stay longer as we had a very comfortable stay.

Great property, Erin, the owner, has only just taken over the property and is doing a stellar job. The motel is very clean and tidy, we had the family room even had a washing machine. Erin has inherited the cleaner, a lady who has been cleaning for years and it shows no dust anywhere, and the bathroom was immaculate great shower pressure. I

Stay at the property from July 6-9 2025. The room was clean and the area was safe. New property owner was friendly and welcoming. The only problem was the internet/wifi which in time will be fixed. Recommend property when staying and wanting to explore Lake Tekapo.
