I originally booked one night, but my plans changed and I needed to stay two nights in Tekapo. I tried to extend my stay for an extra night, but they were fully booked. Despite repeated attempts to communicate, the hotel refused to either refund my original booking or allow me to extend my stay in the same room. This forced me to book another Airbnb, which meant we had to check out by 10 AM and check in at 3 PM for two consecutive days. We barely got any rest and it significantly impacted our experience in Tekapo. On the day of check-out, after finishing breakfast around 10 AM in the dining area, I wanted to do my makeup at that spot, but I was kicked out! An extremely rude older woman told me that the dining area is only for breakfast and dinner. I wasn't hindering her from clearing tables or cleaning, and I even offered to move to a nearby table to do my makeup, but that wasn't allowed either. Ugh, capitalism! In short, if your travel itinerary isn't 100% set in stone, I highly do not recommend this hotel, as they don't allow changes or cancellations and have a terrible attitude!!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The stunning scenery speaks for itself; it felt like living inside a postcard. What truly elevated the experience was the hotel's exceptional service: the staff were always smiling and greeted us proactively, housekeeping was meticulous, and any issues we had were resolved quickly. This attention to detail and thoughtful service, combined with the enchanting environment, significantly enhanced our overall happiness during the stay. Highly recommended.

The town is small but conveniently located. The bedroom is on the first floor, and you can do some light cooking in the living room on the second floor.

The room I received was vastly different from what was shown on Trip.com. I booked a deluxe lake view room, and the actual room looked like picture 1, while Trip.com showed picture 2. Excuse me? My "deluxe lake view room" only offered a view of a pond, and I had to go out onto the balcony to even catch a glimpse of the lake. I don't understand. I even went to the front desk to confirm if I had been given the wrong room, and the hotel insisted it was correct. So, I'm not sure if this is a Trip.com issue or a hotel issue. Secondly, the service was really subpar. Considering this is an Accor property, it was the worst service I've experienced in New Zealand. The front desk staff were very cold. The Wi-Fi password provided in the room was incorrect; I tried connecting for ages without success. When I called to inquire, they told me I had to go to the front desk myself. Speechless.

Room is too small. No management of car parking. Will not book this hotel again. Room rate is high but can’t provide any service.

The hygiene is acceptable, and the bedding is clean. However, some facilities are a bit broken. It's strange that every room has air conditioning, but the AC doesn't provide heat, and the heaters themselves seem to have some issues.

Facing directly onto Lake Tekapo, and conveniently located across from a large supermarket and a shopping street, it's also within walking distance of the Church of the Good Shepherd. The location is absolutely fantastic. Staying in the villa was so enjoyable! The decor is lovely, facilities are comprehensive, and the shower is wonderful. The kitchen is especially well-equipped. I wish I could stay for a month, just gazing at the lake every day and living here. In the evening, you can even stargaze right from the garden.

Booked for two days, and the view from the room was amazing. The hotel has a great location, with supermarkets and restaurants conveniently nearby. Cutlery was also provided in the room. We even took a helicopter tour to see the beautiful scenery of Mount Cook from above.
