Marg and I stayed here for one night. We were upgraded when we arrived because this is the slow season. We were given a room with a view of Lake Tekapo. Great. The room was comfortable, good bed and warm. Shower good. The only black mark was the milk in the fridge. The hotel had that horrid longlife milk in tiny containers. YUK! We had tp buy milk from the service station across the road from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay at The Godley Hotel and will visit again.

This was a gorgeous property with a fantastic view of the Lake and Mountains. We would loved to have stayed longer just for the accomodation. The hosts met us onsite and gave us a thorough run down on ammenities, local restaurants and other tips. We would highly recommend Lake Tekapo as a stop and definitely the MacKenzie Suites.

Great stay

5 / 5 Excellent

We had a lovely albeit short stay. Beautiful clean house, nice deck and comfortable bed, couch and bean bags. Walking distance to town. Kitchen was smaller than anticipated, but well equipped. There's a small fireplace and a heat pump, but I still felt a tad chilly. Electric blanket would be a nice touch, and also a nightstand on both sides of the bed. I think this would be great fit for a family. Self check-in/out via the lockbox was a breeze. Would be a bonus if checkout was 11am instead of 10am. The property used to be called "Jack's Bach".

Fantastic spacious apartment with ample room for a family of 4. Kitchen well equipped for what we needed. Communication and service from staff excellent. Only downside was the dryer in our apartment wouldn’t work which was unfortunate for a ski holiday in July. But they took our wet washing and dried it for us so really appreciated that. Super clean!
