The little apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. There is no reception office, and the message with check-in instructions from their staff never came through. We ended up calling and got the room number and key code verbally. It all worked out.

We had a wonderful stay at Skyrim Lodge in Lake Tekapo. The keyless check-in process was seamless, which made getting in and settling down a breeze. Our two-bedroom unit was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable. We were completely captivated by the view—the dazzling, snow-capped mountains were a sight to behold. A truly fantastic place for a getaway.

Clean, tidy unit in a quiet suburb within walking distance of the main town strip. The bed was comfortable, the internet stable, the aircon was quiet and efficient and the tv was huge. There were some nice tea/coffee amenities and they had ecostore brand shampoo and body soap which I appreciated. Easy check-in and check-out process, would stay here again.

Comfortable and quiet

Great spot, lovely accommodation. Would have been 5 star but for the electronic door lock was a bit loose on the door and overly sensitive which meant several goes to get in with man sized fingers. On departure it was impossible to use when frost covered as a hard enough press to register was taken as multiple presses. So if the heat pump was left on apologies 😀
