"It felt like a newly built property.
It was great for stargazing and close to Lake Tekapo.
Check-in was easy, just use the room number you received via email."

"The resort boasts an excellent location, just under a ten-minute walk to the lake. The rooms were warm and spotlessly clean, and it's very convenient for guests arriving by car. If you're into stargazing, I recommend scouting out a good spot nearby during the day – on a clear night, you'll be treated to an absolutely breathtaking display of stars!"
"The room is very clean and tidy. The service is fast and enthusiastic. If you have any questions, the phone will be answered quickly. The problem is also handled in a timely manner. The kitchen can be used for cooking. There are pots, pans, and even a rice cooker. However, the seasonings are only salt and black pepper. If you need to cook, you need to go to the supermarket to buy oil and other seasonings. The room has air conditioning in the living room and heating in the bedroom. Overall, it is a very good experience. Recommended~"
"This was by far the best place I stayed at while traveling through New Zealand, even though there wasn’t anyone there to check us in. The process was still incredibly easy—getting the check-in information emailed to me was simple and straightforward. When I arrived, the room was clean, modern, and cozy, and they even left us a small gift since it was Christmas Eve. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel extra special. The unit also had laundry facilities, which was a huge bonus after living out of our suitcases for over a week. I would definitely stay here again—it had everything we needed and more, making it feel like a home away from home."
"The frying pan and pot were so old and dirty. They need to be replaced.
And the bathroom sink and kitchen drain don't drain well.
When I brush my teeth or wash my face, the water doesn't drain well and gets stuck.
I slept warmly because there was an electric blanket. When it was hot during the day, the air conditioner worked well. The staff were friendly. The proximity to Lake Tekapo, the supermarket, etc. was great. It was great to see the stars at night :-))"
"Found this place at the very last minute, and it exceeded our expectations! My family and I loved this place - good location (walking distance to Lake Tekapo etc.), super friendly staff, sparkly clean units (we stayed at both Unit 4 & 5 - 4 nights stay in total!) and all stated amenities were provided as well! The only thing to be improved was probably the wifi connection at Unit 5 (slightly weak as compared to Unit 4) and the master room door at unit 5 had loud squeaking sounds when you open/close the door. Other than that, it was such a lovely stay at Skyblue Tekapo! I would definitely come back here to stay if I ever go to Lake Tekapo again. Thank you for having us Wince! And thank you to all the housekeeping staff for the great hospitality!"
"Awesome place to stay. 10/10. This hotel is located in a lovely place. Definitely will comeback to this hotel soonest. Me and my wife enjoyed our stay in here."
"Pretty good, with parking available. The self-check-in system is perfect for introverts. You can enjoy stargazing right from the courtyard at night. Although the Church of the Good Shepherd is a bit of a walk (around 1.2km), the hotel's surroundings are also very beautiful."
"Like the location of being just few mins away from the shops and the church. Easy to find but better arrive before it gets dark to find the exact unit number.
Enjoyed cooking and the laundry with the necessities. WiFi, Netflex all good but local tv doesn’t seem to work. Probably need to try harder to figure it out. Like the shower, water is hot and with good pressure. Electric blankets also available for the bed.
Need to be clear of how to do the rubbish recycle though and reserve enough time before the check out to do all the dishes."

Outstanding
JJJJSWSWe had a great one night stay at the apartment and wish that we could stayed longer. The place is full of amenities needed for living all spotless clean. Great location in a very peaceful neighborhood. Beds are super comfy. We would love to recommend to our friends and would love to be back again.
VVCWHThis is one of the most well equipped and comfortable place I’ve stayed in. All 7 of us loved the place so much. Feels so much like home, everything is high quality and very very comfortable.
Love this place.
GGuest UserThe hotel is great. Although it is not in the town center, it is only a 5-minute walk away. Each room has a balcony. The room is very large and has a kitchen. When you open the curtains, you can see the lake and snow-capped mountains. You can spend the whole day lying in a daze.
GGuest UserThis hotel has one of the best locations among all the hotels in the area. It’s right next to supermarkets and restaurants, and just across the bridge is the Church of the Good Shepherd — all of which are easily reachable on foot. Once you arrive, there’s no need to drive anywhere, which is incredibly convenient.
The only downside was the poor soundproofing. Even in the early hours of the morning, we could still hear people talking and laughing outside, which affected our sleep.
That said, the location more than makes up for it, especially if you’re looking for a place within walking distance of everything.
FfengdoThe room is large enough, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room. The decoration is very new and very comfortable. Electronic code door lock. Parking is available at the door.
CCyndi on the RoadGreat location, right beside the lake.
We weren’t aware that toilet, shower and kitchen is all shared. Cabin is super tiny that is hard to do anything else inside. We didn’t sleep that well and it was not convenient that you have to go outside for toilets in the middle of night.
The campsite is nice, but with the amount of people and campvan, the utilities seem to be overloaded.
GGuest UserThe hotel does not have a front desk, and the keys are taken from the key box at the door with a password. If you have any questions, you can call the hotel customer service. They provide Chinese service and are very enthusiastic and patient. The hotel rooms are spacious and well-equipped, making them very suitable for family travel.
TTanAndyThe stay was good, quite a new apartment for a family of 3, I think it can stay up to 4. Just that, quite a distance from Lake Tekapo, which we need to walk 10 -15 minutes to reach the Lake to view Milky way. There are some minor defers that was there before my stay, hope they could fix for the next stay. Overall, I love the view and hope to stay there again.
KKaketashengxinheThe room is spacious, clean, well-equipped and convenient for stargazing. From the room you can enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Tekapo and snow-capped mountains. However, the requirements for garbage sorting are relatively high.
욱욱진The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, but the view of the sky and stars from the table in front of the house was breathtaking.
It was also incredibly warm while I slept!!
If you're only planning to sleep in the room, I recommend Hunter Hunter.
