Luxury, if only we had chairs for the deck, it would have been perfect. Make sure you have downloaded a movie to watch on their ginormous TV! You don’t have to worry about after hours check-in due to self check-in.

Not a lodge

This is NOT a lodge. It is in an area of new buildings/houses which are designed into individual units. It is an area containing many of these not a lodge. The area is under construction and is a 5 minutes drive from the town. The unit is well appointed clean and quiet but for the average Kiwi be warned, it is more like social housing thanna lodge.

It’s digital check in so make sure you get the room Information before you arrive. Contact the property on their phone number and they will text it to you. If you find it difficult to call from your non-New Zealand phone, go to a bar in town and ask the bartender how to make calls in New Zealand. Worked for me. But without this knowledge you can’t get the room information! So do it early and not at the last minute!

Amazing stay at Skyrim. Quick 15 mins into the main restaurant area or a quick 5 min drive in. The lodge is brand new and very welled thought out. Great location and beautifully decorated. Communication with hotel made the checking process easy. Love the dark sky experience and glad we stayed at Skyrim since it was close by. Walking distance to lake Tekapo is also a huge highlight. Thxs Skyrim.

We expected to have some kind of view of the lake... the photo of the building was the local iconic CHURCH on the lake... we thought it was actually the lodge. Once we got there it was fine enough but we expected more upscale experience. We enjoyed it enough but for us would not choose to stay there next time.

Property did not meet vision as shown on website. Basically a donga hut split into 3 rooms. Had to get manager (off site) to come and program TV. No iron or ironing board. In the middle of "no where".
