The hotel was far nicer than I expected for the price. The decor was great, the room was large and very equipped. The location was perfect being just across the street from everything in the main part of town, including shops and sights.

Super easy to collect keys that were left for us in a secure box. The shared kitchen is large and well equipped. Lovely living space and even with several other couples staying it never felt cramped or busy. Clean shared bathrooms and comfy beds. A lovely stay

I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

Great place to visit beautiful view.
Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly.
There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go.
Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later.
Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

Only stayed in Lake Tekapo because I wanted to walk on the Hooker Valley Track. It was reasonable accommodation a good hour away from Mount Cook. Loved our accommodation in Wee Mack and enjoyed going to the Hot Springs after our long fantastic walk to the Mueller Lake glaciers. Wanted to see the stars but it was either cloudy or the moon was too bright to get that dark sky/ full of stars effect. The Summit sky activity has to be booked at least one month in advance.
Lu Lu's home was a lovely place for my family of 6 to spend the night. The home was nicely decorated and felt warm, cosy, and welcoming. The main door was accessed by a digital lock which we appreciated so we did not have to worry about keys at all. We arrived late and left early the next morning so we did not get to fully enjoy the home but will definitely consider returning if we were ever back in Lake Tekapo in the future.
This was our 2nd stay within a week and everything about this boutique hotel is exceptional. The staff are warm and welcoming, the rooms are beautiful with endless lake and Mountain views, so close to everything that Lake Tekapo offers and the complimentary breakfast is simply amazing. We plan to stay here every time we visit the area, definitely earned its 5 star rating, an absolute stunner!
From the moment we stepped in and saw the breathtaking view of Lake Tekapo, we knew we made the right choice.
The rooms were so comfortable and inviting that we felt we were at home. We appreciated the extra throws and blankets, as well as the detailed instructions and well-labelled devices.
A pleasure from start to finish, due to the owner's hospitality and thoughtful touches.
Very nice and clean place to stay with a beautiful mountain views. We really enjoying staying in this great new apartment even just for a couple day. Location is convenient just a few minutes drive to market, coffee shop and amazing lake tekapo. Also, the place has good amenities, full equipment kitchen, friendly and helpful staff. It’s recommended! 😊
An absolutely gorgeous location overlooking Lake Tekapo. One whole wall is glass overlooking the lake. The room was large with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Minutes away from restaurants and a grocery story. Wonderful host. Met us when we arrived and gave us helpful information. Would definitely stay here again!
This is my fourth time stopping in Lake Tekapo on my way from Christchurch to Glenorchy. For the location and value, I would choose this motel over the two others where I've stayed in Lake Tekapo. This one was quieter and cleaner than the other two.
Excellent views of Lake Tekapo. Clean. The interiors have a very unique touch to them. The sunroom is definitely a highlight! Short walk to the town center cafes and shops right across the street.
right infront of lake tekapo. 3min walk to the supermarket. very nice common areas. clean bathroom (I had the ensuite). I also liked the fact that each bed had sockets and a light. plus towels
The Godley Hotel is in the best location imaginable. It is steps away from Lake Tekapo and the Good Shepherd Church; I booked a lake-view room and I could see both from my window.
lovely self contained cottage steps from Lake Tekapo. walking distance to town. thoughtfully set up and amenitized with everything needed for a few days stay.
the view from my bedroom is beautiful with lake Tekapo view. the shared lounge is nice with good
facilities. the location is not far from the city center.
