The property was just average, there was no proper ventilation in the property, so there was a smell everywhere especially around the bathrooms. Lights were very dim in the rooms, so the rooms were pretty dark even during the day.we stayed for two nights there but towels were not changed by the staff even once. With all the wet towels and lack of ventilation, bathrooms got more stinky. Though our check in was very smooth and receptionist was very nice and friendly, but Reception/ office remains closed for most of the day, so if you need any assistance, there is hardly anyone there to help you. Property has inbuilt heaters but only cold air comes out of them. Each room has separate/ extra heaters but again they hardly work or leave warm air. So the property was pretty cold especially at night time. One thing i like about the property is its location. Also breakfast vouchers provided by the motel were great. Cafe that provides breakfast was pretty good.

We loved our stay at the Lake Tekapo Village Motel! The location is excellent--our room looked out on the lake and we were within minutes walk of the lake and all the main attractions such as the church and the Dark Sky Project. The staff were so friendly and happy to accomodate all of our needs. The complimentary breakfast/lunch is an excellent deal -- voucher to spend at adjacent Doughboys Restaurant which features noodles as well as homemade dumplings (order 20 minutes ahead but so handy to motel so very convenient). Thank you!

The room is quite basic but spotlessly clean. We could hear our upstairs neighbours moving about all night. Location is ideal. Parking is free but limited. Big breakfast at nearby restaurant included. Overall would recommend and Lake Tekapo area is a must visit.

The motel was a bit old, but the location is fantastic at the center of town and walkable to many eateries and shop. There is construction works going on at the plot of land beside the motel, and might be noisy at times

The highlight was the stunning lake view from our room, a beautiful sight to wake up each morning. However, I was dissapointed by the comfort room which had a persistent unpleasant smell that that distracted the overall comfort of our stay. Their big breakfast offered was a real treat. The comfort room issue is something the hotel should address for a pleasant experience.

Overall had everything we required for our night stay. Clean and tidy. A nice view of the lake from our balcony. However the exterior veranda light coming through the frosted glass door was very annnoying and it couldn’t be switched off plus it didn’t help that the heater in our room worked really too well. We couldn’t regulate or turn it off so we tried to let outside air flow into the room which was hard the night we stayed because it was raining and the rain would blow into the room. Thankfully there was a ceiling fan which helped a bit but our disturbed nights sleep was very hot and uncomfortable. Couldn’t advise anyone in the morning as office was unattended when we checked out.
