What a dump! Words and pictures do lead you to believe you will be staying in a nice lake front cabin when the reality is you are in front of a dusty and noisy road. I found a really ugly bug (possibly centipede) by my bed, needless to say the mattress was plain horrible. The check in person was a stickler for the 3pm check in time, which after a long drive wasn’t pleasant at all. All I can say shame on you Expedia for offering this!

A little disappointed not on waters edge

A little disappointed as I thought I had booked a room that was on the waters edge(motel name) - was in fact up a hill across a road and green area( photos online imply that you are staying in a room with the edge of the water a stones throw away. The view was beautiful from our patio. Didn't really like having a drink on the patio and the constant flow of cars going by to the campsite, kicking up dust from gravel driveway. The room was clean and tidy as was the bathroom- the sheets were lovely & crisp and clean. Reception staff warm and friendly

This was a really nice lakeside property with excellent amenities for a holiday park. Fair warning, this is mostly for RV campers, with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. But the staff were very helpful with everything and we loved our stay. Highly recommend if traveling to Lake Tekapo for a couple days or even just one night!
