Amazing location right on the lake. The room was well appointed with everything we needed. We were given a free upgrade to a room with a lake view which was awesome!

The location is fantastic. Staff is really great - Cecelia was a pleasure to deal with. Check-in was smooth. As I was travelling with elderly parents, she kindly helped me drag a couple of bags from the car park to the room on checking in and when checking out. Breakfast options were great and were kindly delivered to the room. Highly recommend this stay. The view of the lake from the room in the morning was priceless!

We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort.
The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings.
The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food.
We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake.
Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

The apartment was extremely well appointed & super comfortable. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. So much room to move about. The manager was fantastic & so helpful. He is amazing. We would recommend Mantra Lake Tekapo to any of our family or friends passing through the region.

I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

Great place to visit beautiful view.
Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly.
There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go.
Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later.
Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

Lake Tekapo is a lovely town with beautiful views of the mountains and lakes. Lots of lovely walking trails and places to explore in and around the lakes.
There are great cycling trails in the area too.
Mountain Cook in only a short distance away.
There are hot springs and pools to visit and great places to eat at.
This is probably my best stay ever in Tekapo, comparing to my previous stay in hotels/motels.
Location - very close to town centre
Kitchen - great kitchen with gas stoves and a big oven
Dining room & lounge - open design with a large dining table
Rooms - very comfortable
* Balcony - this is the highlight of this property. Instead of heading to the lake side, we could easily turn off the lights and sit comfortably on the couch on the balcony to enjoy the night and stargazing.
Our stay in Lake Tekapo was enjoyable, with an easy check-in process and responsive hosts. The accommodation offered comfortable beds, spacious living room and kitchen areas, and the added convenience of a bathroom in each room. The peaceful location was within walking distance to the town center, and while the shared driveway could be tight for larger vehicles, it didn't pose a significant issue.
Great two bedroom room (605b) with over-roof lake views. Quick walk to the restaurants, shopping, lakefront. Resort bar good for beer/wine but cocktails are best found elsewhere. You won't be able to stop looking at the lake and surrounding mountains regardless of where you stay in Lake Tekapo.
The view was great as we were able to see stars and milky way in outdoor patio also with Lake Tekapo's view in the morning Great kitchen equipment with a complete cooking utensil set. Indoor fireplace was our favorites place to gather with our kids. The staff is also very helpful.
Wonderful property, well organized cottage. Very clean. Easy to access. Hosts readily accommodated our late check-in. Great location, walk to Lake Tekapo and to the little village for stores and restaurants. Fantastic stainless steel hot tub. Would highly recommend.
good location with great view of Lake Tekapo,easy parking car , spacious space of staying with family, very nice kitchen with all the practical ware, stove warm up the place very well, bookshelf with different kinds of books and toys provide great time get together
This was a great place to stay at in Lake Tekapo. I was there for one night and it had all the things I needed. The room even has a mini fridge, electric kettle, and dishes. For a short term stay, would highly recommend. Can't beat the price and the location.
Loved having a whole home to ourselves with two bedrooms after being in holiday park for the remainder of our holiday. Great facilities, well presented, comfortable and warm. Located close to the centre of Tekapo.
A perfect spot in Lake Tekapo. the apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully appointed and had a stunning view. Be prepared to say “wow” every time you turn the corner from the kitchen to the living area.
Excellent views of Lake Tekapo. Clean. The interiors have a very unique touch to them. The sunroom is definitely a highlight! Short walk to the town center cafes and shops right across the street.
The location is great, right beside the Dark Sky Project assembly location and near to the supermarket. The lounge and kitchen area are clean and great with view to the Lake Tekapo.
View was really cute. We stayed just one night, so we didn’t need much and we were prepared that we will need to pay a lot since it’s a great location at Lake Tekapo.
