Only got to stay 1 night but we were really happy with Mantra Lake Tekapo. We had a large 2 storey house with 3 spacious rooms and good bedding options. I was impressed that it was the first place, we've stay on our entire trip, that had 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets! Much needed for a family of 5 or more. The pool was unfortunately closed for maintenance but the Tekapo Pools were not far up the road and had great views. The lake itself and main shops is close by, easy walking. So pretty! Dining is limited but a few options and there is a good grocery store there too.

Horrible communication, won't return messages

Check in was only allowed during a 3.5 hour timeframe. Luckily, I checked the fine print in the posting because they didn't include it in their email. The room setup I requested after they asked how I wanted things arranged wasn't in place. There was no shampoo in the shower, just 2 conditioners. I had tried to contact the property for 5 days prior to arrival and no replies.

We had a great stay overall! The property was nice, and the beds were very comfortable. The location was excellent—easily walkable to town, which was a huge plus. The pool was also fantastic and well-maintained. That said, there were a few minor inconveniences. Some items in the kitchen were broken, and the pump soaps in the bathrooms and showers were empty. I let the front desk know about it, and they assured me it would be taken care of right away, but when we returned at the end of the day, nothing had been done. Housekeeping was supposed to come every three days, but no one ever showed during our four-day stay—not sure if that’s standard or just an oversight. Despite those issues, we’d definitely stay here again. The comfort, location, and amenities outweighed the minor inconveniences, though better follow-through on maintenance and housekeeping would have made it a five-star stay.

This is a great option for larger families and this is our second time staying here. I've taken one star off for not having air conditioning as the upstairs gets very hot. Unfortunately they don't have AC to keep the bedrooms cool. The Doors and windows don't have any fly screens so you can't leave them open as you'd be swamped by bugs and mosquitos if you leave the doors and windows open to cool the place down. They need to install AC in all bedrooms rooms and living rooms and or put screens on doors and windows.

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.

Very very nice double-storey house to stay in. Exceeds my expectation as the place is so nicely furnished and comfortable. We had a unit with living, dining, kitchen, two toilets, two bedrooms and a garage. Really amazing to stay in here. Wifi is strong and I can' ask for more.

Unable to check in on time because of lack of staff to clean rooms. The apartment has steep steps inside which are not good for kid, elderly & even all ages. The steps are slippery. A review of the kitchen utensils is needed especially the chopping boards. The bathroom sink was disguising. The overflow drain was disguising & looks like it has never been cleaned. The apartment itself was lovely when you walked in & a very quiet location.
