Top Mount John Observatory Hotel Reviews
Galaxy Boutique Hotel
8/10 Good
"The property had a good size room with amazing views. It is though, very pricey and you are definitely paying a lot more for the view. The staff were helpful, but the breakfast is served in your room and was a bit cold. Also I asked for a coffee, as no more in the room, and it was cold and you have to get things from reception. Reasonably close to the township so the location was fine."
Peppers Bluewater Resort
8/10 Good
"Tiny rooms and very noisy. Breakfast was busy and no cereal bowls available. Great location book a big room with balcony."
Skyrim Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. The room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped, with a great location. Perfect for a short stay and I would happily stay again."
Grand Suites Lake Tekapo
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room, great views, nearby restaurants"
Lake Tekapo Village Motel
8/10 Good
"Didn’t expect much but happened to be one of the most convenient place for what we needed. Walking distance to shops, dining and lookouts. Breakfast wasn’t all that impressive we ended up eating somewhere else."
Lot 7 - Studios & Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful room with great view of the lake, church and southern alps at Lake Tepako. Very modern, well furnished, and warm for our winter stay. Very close to cafes and restaurants. We stayed two nights for our visit and Heli hike to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay again."
Tekapo Luxury Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"Awesome accommodation with everything you need. The only negative was being on the lower floor and having another accommodation above, you could hear everybit of moment."
Mantra Lake Tekapo
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and very nice property"
The Huts at Lakes Edge
10/10 Excellent
"Really great hut, all new, comfy, and designer. I may have missed the fact that only the single huts have hot tubs, so I was a little disappointed when our double did not have a hot tub. There is construction going on making access a little more difficult. Overall a great place."
