Top Tekapo Hotel Reviews

Galaxy Boutique Hotel

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."
