Excellent

Good place close to the Tekapo lake and they have a good kitchen to make your food and also, they had washrooms and toilets close to the room rather than holiday parks so that's a good advantage.
Compared of the price I paid, I think it was good. The location is excellent. The room is spacious, the commons kitchen was great. Only the shared shower appeared old and not clean. So I decided not shower that night because I had showered in the morning , and I am going to have a private shower the coming night.
Loved staying here, its a shame it was only one night, all areas are clean and tidy, kitchen is fully equipped, there are common warm areas and even some furry friends

Lake Tekapo stay
It was ok for a short stay. Would have been better if the kitchen was in the same building.
Very easy check-in. Great location, very peaceful and quiet. Community lounge & kind then fantastic. Room great, beds really comfortable. Garden is just amazing, expecially loved the little red toadstools in the grass.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We had the cabin on its own with private bathroom for one night and it suited us perfectly! Comfortable beds and opposite the shared kitchen which was very handy. Moved our bench temporarily to the small private garden for breakfast in the sun. Easy walk to the church and shops Highly Recommended if you like good budget overnight stay.
The kitchen and utensils, common room, bathrooms and toilets were always immaculate. There are heaters located in rooms and bathrooms for comfort during the winter months and also a fireplace in the common lounge room. Rooms have nice, new looking carpet, comfortable beds and a hairdryer for your convenience. Also has parking on site which is a bonus.
Always a warm and friendly greeting from the staff. Honestly one of the best hostels I stayed at during my visit to the South Island. Thank you to Xin Lei and the staff at Tailor Made for making my stay so pleasant. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
