It’s a nice room with a nice bathroom. I guess superior and lake view are open for interpretation.
You have to stand on the walkway to look over a solid metal railing to look over a building at the lake. Checkin was a bit busy. There was a lovely lady doing it on her own and answering the phone whilst some guy just sat there looking at his documents or using his computer. Poor form. You pay a reasonable amount but there are no facilities. Even the cafe closed at 2.30pm and the bar doesn’t open later either.

The room had everything you needed and plenty of room. The beds were cozy and the linens all clean. There was no problem with checking in or out and the staff were really kind with all our questions and needs. Laundry on site for guests to use. Washer ($2) and dryer ($4) and they are Huge so one load gets it done. This was a bonus for us! Everything walking distance and lots of parking.
Some bits a bit dated and noise travels despite doors being open to the outdoors. Luckily enough Lake Tekapo is pretty quiet in the evenings!

It was cosy and warm, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent and central to shops and eateries, and it is only a stones throw to the Good Shepherd Church. The room had everything we needed.
The only one thing I didn't like was I was offered a room upstairs with a view, but I had heavy bags, and there was no elevator so I had to turn it down and have a room downstairs. That is the only fault I have, everything else was great.

Helpful staff and good value of money!! Thank you for the free upgrade to a Superior room due to the toilet issue, the Superior room which is newly renovated, nice bathroom and comfort beds. The standard room is very out-date and old, if I knew the huge difference, i would have booked the Superior Room. The whole village provides free parking and the hotel is in a perfect location with a swimming pool and an on-site restaurant.
Nothing.

The location was good. View from our room on the upper floor was very good, looking onto Lake Takepo and the Church is the Good Shepherd. Close to town and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Easy parking outside room.
The balcony was a shared walkway arrangement and as we were right at the end, our view was marred by a brick wall over some of the view. The furniture was a little basic and no bedside table on one side. The swimming pool was off line due to a water issue and the cafe closes at 3pm.

We were able to leave our luggage for the day as we arrived too early for check in. The staff were very accommodating. Easy check in process. Our lake view room didn't disappoint either! Woke up to a crystal clear day and picture perfect views from the room. Couldn't wait to go for a walk to the lake and the church.
Bathroom door was very old and badly paint chipped and needs replacing. Broken hooks on the back of the bathroom door.

The whole stay was awesome! Check-in was quick and they even gave me an upgrade, which was really cool. The facilities were beautiful and the restaurant was great. Breakfast was amazing! It was definitely worth the money.
There was some confusion regarding the inclusion of a child in my booking, which resulted in an additional payment at the property. The cleanliness of the toilet seat was not up to standard.

Good location on shores of Lake Tekapo with direct views of the lake and a short stroll to the famous church on the lakeshore and local bars/restaurants. Tasty breakfast in the on-premise restaurant/cafe. Try to book a lake-view room on the upper floor for the best views.
It is more of a motel rather than a hotel but perfectly fine for a short stay.

Great location right off the main road and on the other side of the lake. Many restaurants and even a supermarket within walking distance. Rooms are comfortable with a fridge. Shower pressure is good, bathroom is clean..
Lots of foot traffic of people going in and out. It's where the window is so you pretty much need to keep the windows shut. The decor is outdated. The showerhead is a bit low, basically aimed at the nape of my neck and I'm a short person.

Location... close to everything. Booked a room with a lake view. On the corner and had a wall blocking the view, so had to go out to enjoy. It was a little cool. However the view towards the church was beautiful.
Unable to get a small jug of fresh milk. Had to purchase a large bottle which we didn't use from across the road. The facility is dated. Plus when buses have people staying and collect early in the morning running the motor outside the doors isn't a pleasant wakeup
