An early morning lake view changes the entire feel of a stay. The scenery from our room was absolutely incredible. Plus, the staff here are young, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We didn't get a chance to eat the included breakfast, though. We had to rush straight out the door for our activity at Mt. Cook.

Great location. There is a ramp or stairs to reception and rooms. Breakfast was good, we chose to have it delivered to the room and sit and eat while enjoying the view. Easy walk to shops/restaurants and the Church of the Good Shepherd.

Room was great for a family of 4, bathroom was roomy. We had the option of taking breakfast in room or going to the dining room. We even had a view of lake Tekapo. The property was just 2 minute drive to market, restaurants, cafe shop, lake front playground for kids and tour guide operators. Great spot, just a little pricey
