Good place to stay for a couple of nights to explore the beautiful Lake Tekapo. The common room is comfortable and looks out over the lake. Perfect location, decent kitchen, helpful staff and clean rooms. Recommended.

Nice views, great location, friendly staff and they even have a piano. You have to pay for wifi which always sucks but that seems to be the norm in New Zealand. Would recommend.
