We stayed here partly by choice and partly because it was snowing like crazy and we wouldn't have made it any further! I'm glad we did - we had a view over the lake from our campervan and it was a magical sight in the snow. We stayed at Top 10 parks for the rest of the trip and found... More

We (two teens, two adults) stayed in the perfectly positioned ensuite cabins. Felt it was good value for money. Great shower, Warm and comfortable room, we enjoyed the great view of the lake and being so close to Alpine Springs (short walk). Downside: The cabins had adequate faciliteis for making breakfast but evening meal had to be made in the... More

Talk about a room with a view! Wonderful views of the lake from the cabins which have been position well so as not to invade each others privacy. Everything you need in cabins & very spacious. Close to hot spas, cafe & skating rink plus lovely walks.

We ended up staying on a tent site, and this place had decent facilities for a holiday park. There were two different bathroom and shower areas, and the unisex one is fairly new. Outside the kitchen they have a few nice grills for use and picnic tables to enjoy your meal overlooking Lake Tekapo. The only downside was that the... More

This facility has a great view of Lake Tekapo and the Tekapo Springs are right next door. The observatory is 300m up the hill. Has everything you need. You have to pay $2 for a hot shower for 10 minutes but the lights go out if no-one comes in after 5mins so you might shower in the dark in a... More

We read the reviews and tried to avoid staying there but there was no where else close. We found it very nice though, the lady at the desk was friendly, the toilets and showers were clean - they do charge $2 for a shower but they were upfront about this when we checked in. We got a site with a... More

I have just stayed here for one night in my campervan, from reading the reviews I didn't no what I would see. I was very surprised; the view was amazing, the blocks are old but clean, the staff are very friendly and you would all love to know there are new managers. They were very helpful, they wanted our feedback... More

We stayed in an ensuite cabin and whilst it was a bit basic, it had everything we needed, fridge, toaster, kettle, towels , shampoo etc - even wineglasses and electric blankets which I hadn't expected. On the plus side we had the most amazing view of the lake and were really close to the hot pools, so easy to talk... More

It was also hard to find a place to sit and eat. Toilets&Showers -... More
