There is a common kitchen which we did not use. The room shower drainage was slow to clear and paint work starting to peel. Otherwise it was ok."

The intercity bus also departs right outside the station, which is super convenient. The hostel is clean and tidy, and the female dorm with eight beds even has two bathrooms. The common area is spacious with a large kitchen and an affordable paid coffee machine. The front desk staff are very welcoming! Excellent value for money too!"

"I chose a highly-rated hostel, rumored to offer lake views right from the door. It's just a stone's throw from where the intercity bus drops you off. While the bunk beds were quite pricey, the location made it absolutely worth it! The accommodation was excellent; our four-person room was spacious and had its own private bathroom. There was even a hairdryer provided, which was the only place to offer one during our multi-day stay. The common areas and kitchen were beautiful. On our first day, we arrived by bus at noon, and they immediately allowed us to check in early without any fuss. The next day, after checking out at 10 AM, we could store our luggage for free. The front desk also informed us that we could continue using their common areas and kitchen. It was an excellent trip to Tekapo!👏"

The location was great as it was very easy to walk the seal colony and whale watching tour.  We did our laundry their too which was easy to use and the host was very helpful with that as well as when we had issue with checking in.  A few hobs didn’t work in the kitchen which make it a bit challenging to cook if there were other people."

The accommodation was very clean, and check-in was super easy; even arriving late, past the check-in time, was no problem. The hotel's location is also very convenient, right across from a gas station, and getting to the city center is a breeze.

The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal

The room was spacious, and the kitchen and living room were excellent and well-equipped. The service was very attentive; someone helped with luggage to the room, and the airport transfer was arranged quickly and efficiently. The location is also very convenient for catching a bus to the city center, just a short walk away. The welcome milk was a nice touch. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom felt a bit old-fashioned.
