We had the family room. This was perfect for us, lots of room, a great view of the lake with nice big windows opening up toward the lake.
only problem with the windows is privacy as other guest and public can walk pass so leaving the windows open is at your discretion. but that is only a minor issue.
The kitchen was more then adequate for us to cook and eat dinner and breakfast.
The family room also had a dinning room which was great.
The building is a bit dated but everything was more then sufficiently maintained and the bed were good.
The only issue was the heater in the main room was making a cracking sound so we had to turn it off and the room got a bit cold. otherwise the stay was very good and I would book again

Nice except for the small things
Pros:
Comfy large bed, good sized room.
Cons:
Quite worn down in areas, and a comically small TV.
Location:
Beautiful location and view, of the amazingly blue Lake Tekapo. A great balcony to star gaze from too.
The view over the lake is great (if you get that side of the complex), the bed was comfy and the room was a good size. So the place has a lot going for it. But when you look closer, you'll see many layers of paint coming off the door handle to the bathroom, the towel rail just starting to come away from the wall, chipped tiles, parts coming off the corner join in the room and such. The TV was also comically small, not a huge amount bigger than a laptop screen.
Having said all that, ultimately the small details I mentioned don't take away from it being a comfy place to stay, so I'd still recommend it overall.
