Very quiet and nice property. Only suggestion is a better light blocking from the hallway. The light in the hallway can turn on and light up the whole bedroom.

Lovely new boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lake Tekapo is a small town with limited eating options but the dining is very good. We were unlucky with the stars as it was an overcast but the sunrise more than made up for it!

Beautiful views, rooms were great too. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only negative I can think of is the shower wasnt the cleanest, and the tap on vanity leaks so had to keep mopping it up, but hopefully this is being remedied. The breakfast was fantastic, and heating works reslly well - we were nice and toasty the whole stay :)
