What an absolutely fabulous, beautiful place!!! We stayed in a 3 bedroom family lodge, it was just unbelievable. Felt so luxurious and absolutely all details were perfect, for example lovely quality toiletries. So spacious, we were 3 adults and 2 children. Immaculate stay! Washing machine and dryer in the garage were super convenient. Fully kitted kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Expensive stay

Well overpriced for what it is. Good location but not lakefront. Apartment was a good size and comfortable but there were quite a few maintenance issues, especially in the bathroom. Really lovely lady on check in, made us feel welcome straight away. A nice place to stay but not for the price tag.

Only got to stay 1 night but we were really happy with Mantra Lake Tekapo. We had a large 2 storey house with 3 spacious rooms and good bedding options. I was impressed that it was the first place, we've stay on our entire trip, that had 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets! Much needed for a family of 5 or more. The pool was unfortunately closed for maintenance but the Tekapo Pools were not far up the road and had great views. The lake itself and main shops is close by, easy walking. So pretty! Dining is limited but a few options and there is a good grocery store there too.

Horrible communication, won't return messages

Check in was only allowed during a 3.5 hour timeframe. Luckily, I checked the fine print in the posting because they didn't include it in their email. The room setup I requested after they asked how I wanted things arranged wasn't in place. There was no shampoo in the shower, just 2 conditioners. I had tried to contact the property for 5 days prior to arrival and no replies.

We had a great stay overall! The property was nice, and the beds were very comfortable. The location was excellent—easily walkable to town, which was a huge plus. The pool was also fantastic and well-maintained. That said, there were a few minor inconveniences. Some items in the kitchen were broken, and the pump soaps in the bathrooms and showers were empty. I let the front desk know about it, and they assured me it would be taken care of right away, but when we returned at the end of the day, nothing had been done. Housekeeping was supposed to come every three days, but no one ever showed during our four-day stay—not sure if that’s standard or just an oversight. Despite those issues, we’d definitely stay here again. The comfort, location, and amenities outweighed the minor inconveniences, though better follow-through on maintenance and housekeeping would have made it a five-star stay.
