The girl at the front desk was very helpful upon our arrival. Gave us plenty of useful info including a new great place to eat. Everything was perfect except for5 one thing. There is windows next to the front door that light comes in all night and first thing in the morning even though they have great black out drapes on patio windows.

The hotel itself is beautiful and my room was superb. Very spacious and had been very updated. Luxurious room and bathroom with a kitchenette and views of the lake and mountains. Also it is in walking distance to the village and waterfront, which is good. One good perk was a laundry room with free detergent though you need coins to use the machines. Overall I would have loved an extra night in this hotel as it was very nice and comfortable. My one issue was with unfriendly staff.

This place was perfect. It had the lake view of Lake Tekapo, and an accessible door to walk straight out to the lake. It was directly across the bridge and had the most scenic view. The room was spacious. Loved the heated restroom floors and towel heaters. It was so close to the food area and gas station, about a 5 minute walk. Love the accessibility to everything. The staff was extremely helpful with the checkin. Couldnt have had a much easier experience.
