The lodge was easy to find. Very short drive to supermarket and playground. Clean and bright rooms. Very nice place to stay as it made my trip memorable.
Room was clean and cozy. The bathroom was clean and nice to shower in. The beds were comfortable and the room had a tv with netflix! They provided tea bags, coffee, milk and more, as well as kitchen appliances. We enjoyed our stay!
Great location, clean & welcoming, easy self check in process. Good facilities (stove, toaster etc).
Great communication.

Amazing place that we didn't expect. One of those where the actual exceeds the photos. We will definitely consider staying again for when we are travelling in the region.
Bed and pillows were very comfy. Location above Tekapo Village was walkable. The notebook with key information about the lake, restaurants and activities was very useful.
Absolutely loved our stay. Has a functional kitchen, we were able to make ourselves pasta for dinner. Fantastic, peaceful location. You can’t go wrong booking this.
Pros: Good location; comfortable bed; Had everything needed for a short stay.
Cons: The number to find the property wasn't clear/lit up when trying to find in darkness. One of the two shower heads wouldn't stay up; Freeview TV wasn't working well.
The little apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. There is no reception office, and the message with check-in instructions from their staff never came through. We ended up calling and got the room number and key code verbally. It all worked out.
We had a wonderful stay at Skyrim Lodge in Lake Tekapo. The keyless check-in process was seamless, which made getting in and settling down a breeze. Our two-bedroom unit was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable. We were completely captivated by the view—the dazzling, snow-capped mountains were a sight to behold. A truly fantastic place for a getaway.
