The room we got allocated to is very, very small. Space is so small that there was no way to move around the room with our luggages. We had to move the luggages whenever we want to move around. Furthermore, the toilet felt dirty with sticky floor. We were glad that our stay was only one night. Despite us reaching the hotel late, we left immediately the next morning as it was too uncomfortable in the room. We have stayed in many hotels during our stay in New Zealand and unfortunately, we had the worst experience in this hotel.

Staff were good. Food was excellent. Bedrooms were tiny - only fitted 2 beds pushed together. Electric blanket didn't work. Had to get out of bed to turn off light. Bedsight light not suitable for reading by. Heat pump not working properly. Light bulb in bathroom blown. Bathroom heater didn't work. No view except back of other units. Not value for money.

The resort is lovely, gorgeous location. Easy access to town centre and amenities. Staff were friendly and happy. Room was comfortable but be warned, if you book a standard room they are very small with no view other than a small window looking at other rooms. So small that we had to store 1 suitcase in the bathroom. Bed was comfy, bathroom is lovely. Also the standard rooms share an entrance with the larger apartments, this meant that both nights we had guests confused as to which door was theirs and trying to open our door

Great location in Tekapo, walkable to the restaurants etc. Rooms are very small, but if you only need it for sleeping, like we did, then it doesn't really matter. Would stay again.

This hotel is in a lovely setting but the room was much too small for a king size bed, no space for bags, inadequate wardrobe. In contrast the bathroom was spacious. Room was clean. Overpriced for what you got.

The lobby had a nice lounge with lake views. Plenty of parking. Is across the main road from the lake. We had a standard room which was just the bed and bathroom which was fine for our one night stay. However it was very cramped, the door barely clears the end of the bed and there was maybe 3 feet of clearance around the other sides of the bed. The bathroom was a nice shower and was overall very clean. They had shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was nice. The location is just a quick walk to the main downtown area.

The 2 bedroom apartment was horrible. There was a queue to check in and the staff wasn't really paying attention to the guests waiting behind the queue. The room was shocking as we can't even open our suitcase on the floor because the bedroom was so small. There is definitely something wrong with the design of the apartment and there was only 1 bathroom in the apartment with a leaking shower and chipped basin. I don't even know how this property got rated 4 stars in Expedia. I will not recommend this to anyone.
