Absolutely loved our stay with Stephanie at the Lake Tekapo lodge! We were greeted so warmly and shown round the modern, luxurious lodge by the welcoming and helpful Stephanie. The room was gorgeous with a delightful room of the lake, and was nice and warm as it was a cold day. The bathroom was spotless and had kitted out perfectly. The bed and robes were so comfortable. The rooms are all in one wing of the lodge, including a guest lounge with drinks and comfortable sofas for a cosy night in. The breakfast was delicious, with cold yoghurt/fruit/granola as well as cooked breakfast with perfectly poached eggs. Stephanie also gave us really helpful tips of what to get up to while we were there. If you're going to Tekapo stay here if you want a friendly, modern and luxurious trip.

After returning from our 5 week trip through New Zealand we can say that staying at Lake Tekapo lodge was definitely one of the great highlights of our trip. Stephanie and Alistair are wonderful, warm and welcoming hosts who gave generously of their time to answer our myriad of questions about New Zealand. They prepared wonderful breakfasts in the beautiful dining room overlooking stunning Lake Tekapo. Our room also had a beautiful view of the lake and the common room that all guest share is well stocked with beverages of all sorts as well as interesting reading materials about the country. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and also recommended places to hike and things to do for the rest of our trip.This is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of this area of New Zealand.

We LOVED the eclectic, quirky decor that greeted us as we anxiously opened the front door and walked right in, completely missing the doorbell (sorry!). Stephanie soon discovered we had arrived and her delightful personality and hospitality warmly bid us welcome. The scenery and special little town makes this a place you will surely want to visit when traveling between Christchurch and Queensland.

We had a fabulous two night stay here. Our hosts Stephanie and Alistair were incredible-exceptionally kind, helpful, knowledgeable about the whole area and clearly passionate about what they do. Stephanie had already reserved us a table at a local restaurant for our first night without us even asking her to do so which made our lives very easy having driven a long way to get there. Our en suite accommodation was excellent-the best ensuite facilities we have had in any B and B with a fabulous shower and the bed was incredibly comfortable , giving us an excellent nights sleep. Each bedroom suite has its own outside terrace area with chairs to sit in and soak up the view over the lake. There is a wonderful lounge for guests to use with facilities to make hot and cold drinks and alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. We had a delicious breakfast each morning with views over lake Tekapo from the dining room that took your breath away. Two nights here was not long enough. It is such a warm , luxurious and welcoming home. This is an astonishingly good place to stay and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so very much Stephanie and Alistair for making our stay so special .…

This was simply the best accommodation on our 13 hotel road trip, Stephanie and Alistair were the perfect hosts in every way from the initial welcome to the breakfast and their in depth local knowledge, The views from the individual rooms and breakfast room are just stunning. Stephanie’s unique taste in art is apartment throughout the property which I enjoyed immensely, and she promised to leave me a particular sculpture that I admired (haha). We would definitely recommend that you stay here.

We had an overnight stay at the Lodge. Stephanie and Alistair are amazing hosts. We were made to feel so welcome and the accommodation is beautiful and comfortable. Spotlessly clean, beautiful bedding and the location and views are superb. Alistair cooked us a wonderful breakfast and the options were everything you could wish for. Highly recommend Lake Tekapo Lodge. Annette and Gary

Thanks Jenny! So happy you love Tekapo - it is a wild raw landscape of immense beauty. Just for any readers, no we don't operate an evening restaurant service. We cater to groups on multi night stays upon request and subject to our own availability. Our base business is "bed and breakfast" only. there is a range of restaurants in the village only minutes walk from the lodge. At busy periods I make an obligation free booking for the first night so there is at least an option for our new arrivals! Do so hope you got home safely. Our village is empty of visitors so many walks with the dogs ahead for us next few months! Best to you and Dirk, Stephanie
