The room is quite basic but spotlessly clean. We could hear our upstairs neighbours moving about all night. Location is ideal. Parking is free but limited. Big breakfast at nearby restaurant included. Overall would recommend and Lake Tekapo area is a must visit.

The motel was a bit old, but the location is fantastic at the center of town and walkable to many eateries and shop. There is construction works going on at the plot of land beside the motel, and might be noisy at times

The highlight was the stunning lake view from our room, a beautiful sight to wake up each morning. However, I was dissapointed by the comfort room which had a persistent unpleasant smell that that distracted the overall comfort of our stay. Their big breakfast offered was a real treat. The comfort room issue is something the hotel should address for a pleasant experience.

Overall had everything we required for our night stay. Clean and tidy. A nice view of the lake from our balcony. However the exterior veranda light coming through the frosted glass door was very annnoying and it couldn’t be switched off plus it didn’t help that the heater in our room worked really too well. We couldn’t regulate or turn it off so we tried to let outside air flow into the room which was hard the night we stayed because it was raining and the rain would blow into the room. Thankfully there was a ceiling fan which helped a bit but our disturbed nights sleep was very hot and uncomfortable. Couldn’t advise anyone in the morning as office was unattended when we checked out.
