This was the greatest room we had during our New-Zealand trip so far! We were welcomed by the sweetest person ever, the mom of the host. We loved the personal whiteboard with our names on. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was the most comfortable we had in a loooong time! Thanks for this amazing stay!!

We were late to book an hotel in Tekapo so we chose here. It was a quite clean and confortable place for a good rest after long drive.

Warm welcome by the owner. The room is great and you can't pick anything wrong. Fairlie is a small but great town. Easy to get to MT Dubson. A bakery in the town is famous and close at 4pm.

As soon as I got there, I saw my name and the corresponding room. The room was nice, half an hour's drive from Lake Tekapo, and I could observe the stars at night! Recommended

The accommodation is very comfortable, with 1 double bed and 2 single beds. The room is also large and comfortable. The environment is elegant and the scenery is pleasant. It exceeded expectations and is the most cost-effective accommodation.

The room is well equipped and large. There is a kitchen and convenient parking. The hotel is a typical motel. Because it is too expensive to stay in Lake Tekapo, it is about half an hour drive from Lake Tekapo. The pies in this town are really delicious.

As a family room it is not bad, half an hour's drive from Tecapo Lake, the price is half the price, but you can't see the stars in the mountains.

It was almost the most unexpected surprise of my trip to New Zealand. It was my first time staying in a motel. It was surprisingly clean. It had two bedrooms, which was basically the standard of a homestay. Parking was very convenient at the door. Check-in and check-out were based on trust. I met the boss, who was a very nice person. I regretted not staying here for two more days. It was my favorite hotel on this trip. There is no scenery nearby, it is very life-like. It takes about half an hour to drive to the lake to soak in the hot springs. Overall, it is very cost-effective.

There is nothing wrong with the hotel itself, but for Tekapo and Mtcook trips, it is recommended to stay in Twizel.

The hotel is nice but it takes half an hour to drive to the restaurant. There are only food and entertainment near Lake Tekepo. There is nothing near the hotel. I was a little tired after stargazing at night. It’s a long drive. It’s suitable for transit.

At first, I was worried that it would be the same motel as I had in mind, but it turned out that motels in NZ still give people a warm feeling. This time we booked a studio room, which is about 30 minutes away from Lake Tekapo where we wanted to go, which is considered a distance. Nearby accommodation. When we arrived that day, the owner had already written down the names of everyone who made reservations and the unit number on a board, and placed it in front of the office door. The keys were already ready and you could just check in, followed by the owner and her dog. I met the dog briefly and had a small chat, which was super nice! The room is very big, comfortable, and clean. Even if there is a slight problem with the bathroom door handle, I wrote a memo reminder in advance, which is so considerate. In addition, I put fresh roses and two chocolates on the table, so sweet! Super recommended!

It's a very surprising room, with a bathroom and kitchen utensils. The bed is comfortable and warm, the heating is very good, and the hot water is very good. Right in the center of the town, in a quiet and deserted town, there is actually a Chinese restaurant. Someone cleans the room in the hotel every day, and the starry sky at night is beautiful! Although it's half an hour's drive from the lake area, it's very cost-effective. It rained heavily the night before, but early the next morning we actually saw snow-capped mountains in the distance.
