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.

The Lake is amazing, so peaceful.
The Lake is amazing, so peaceful. Take a picnic and dip your toes….icy but refreshing!
Trekking with Mackenzie’s Alpine Horses was my highlight. Lots of lovely walks around the lake a local area.
St.John stargazing experience was fabulous, so humbling and really informative.

Only stayed in Lake Tekapo because I wanted to walk on the Hooker Valley Track. It was reasonable accommodation a good hour away from Mount Cook. Loved our accommodation in Wee Mack and enjoyed going to the Hot Springs after our long fantastic walk to the Mueller Lake glaciers. Wanted to see the stars but it was either cloudy or the moon was too bright to get that dark sky/ full of stars effect. The Summit sky activity has to be booked at least one month in advance.

Lake Tekapo is a beautiful location, with lots to see and do.
A car is needed to see the full extent of the Lake and surrounding districts.
There is a lot of choice from self-cook to takeaways and eat-in restaurants. Something for everyone.
It is very clean, well equipped and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so homey. The accessible bathroom is a bonus for our elderly family members. The host is also very kind and responsive, sending us reminder and everything we need to know. Among the eight different accommodations (motels, serviced apartment, hotels etc.) I stayed during my 2-week New Zealand trip, this place is on the top two :) Highly recommended!
The best view of Lake Tekapo in town! Huge picture windows in the communal kitchen and dining room; upstairs loft area with same views plus two outside decks; right on a grassy park that slopes down to the lake. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, the beach, The Dark Sky Project. We had an ensuite room with a large bathroom. The common areas were well kept.
This is a re-furbished house with a spectacular view of Lake Tekapo - it was furnished and decorated nicely throughout. Bathrooms and kitchen look newly done up and the main bathroom had a nice new bathtub. There is a big balcony that can be accessed from lounge and master bedroom. House is located in a residential area near town center.
Had a great time staying this hotel. The facility is nice, clean, modern and the most important one are the staff who are very amazing and welcoming. I will highly recommend this hotel. And I’m sure I will book this hotel if I will visit Lake Tekapo again.
I stayed in a private room with an ensuite that was facing Lake Tekapo. It was easily the best view from a hotel room I've ever had. The room itself was simple and tidy but that view, indescribable
The room, the location and the views were great. Large kitchen and living room were on the second floor, which offered beautiful views of the lake Tekapo. The mattress was soft and comfortable.
Stunning scene from our ensuite. The staff was very friendly and didn’t blame us for accidentally broke the pot. Complete facilities in the Holiday Park. Really a good experience!
Close to Lake Tekapo, a short drive to one of the most photograph church in the world by the lake. A good stop Over to or from Mount Cook adventure road trip
Exceptional location. Beautiful view. House was warm when we arrived as heating had been left on for our arrival. Short walk to Lake Tekapo village. Clean.
