Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We love this place. Loved the bathroom and underfloor heating, very comfortable, trendy interior, away from busy main roads. We would highly recommend to others.
Very nice and tidy units that were warm and comfortable
Quiet and friendly
Quiet, clean and modern rooms. Everything you need. I felt very safe here as a solo traveller. They even keep your bikes safe.
We were so impressed with this motel and have no hesitation recommending it. The managers we extremely helpful and approachable. 10/10
Nice clean room with functional kitchen. House keeping was good too.
Very clean, comfortable and well laid out room.
Was a nice motel with little interaction with others.
Great place! Better than we expected! Quiet, comfortable, amenities were a big plus!
A very clean and neat motel. The small apartment was well equipped and the bed was comfortable with good bedding.
Great place. I enjoyed my stay.
Enjoyable experience
Motel is very easy to find and the room was comfortable but the shower had no door and water spilled onto the stone floor which made it very slippery.
very clean
So nice and convenient. Very clean and quiet and the owners were very friendly and helpful.
The only thing that could use improving is the brightness of the lights outside the room. Even with the curtains closed, there was quite a lot of light coming in. Other than that, it was great value for money
Nice room and shower. I was surprised about how modern and updated it was. Very clean and staff was very friendly.
Amazing property Both husband and wife running the property are sweet and nice Helped us with some recommendations around the area Definitely recommend it
Comfortable and clean. Good choice for a quick stopover.
This was a wonderful stay. We would stay here again and again. Thank you for such great service!!!
Stayed one night. No issues. Small room but had a kitchen area, separate bathroom and was comfortable. Free parking on premises. You could walk to where the main restaurants are but it’s not a short walk. I would stay here again.
Small complex and comfortable. Lovely place to stay
We absolutely loved our room at this motel. So clean, so quiet, with well appointed furnishings. Thankyou so much for an awesome stay.
New property , spacious good kitchen lovely bed
Friendly staff and so easy to settle in! 10/10
From the moment we checked in we felt welcome. Our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. We couldn't have wished for more.
Very well kept property. Clean and modern inside. Nice place for the area and especially convenient for bicycle riders doing the alps to ocean trail. They offer bike storage and charging. It is a small town and not many dining options at night.
Clean, warm, modern room. Friendly reception, and very helpful with an odd request (an extension lead for a laptop to connect to the TV). Good wi-fi, easy parking.
Lovely stay, easy to find, clean and very friendly welcome. Check out was easy with very helpful de-icing vehicle service from the staff! :)
Beautiful clean self service motel, cooking and catering facilities in room, everything you need for a longer stay if needed. Quite location, warm and cosy..
Very and peaceful
Good place to stay for the one night there. Make sure you check out the jandals and boots pub good food.
Very clean and quiet, staff were friendly. We would definitely stay again.
Lovely 😍
Beautiful room
This was such a lovely stay for me and my friends! Big Sky Motel is located conveniently between Mt. Cook, and Wanaka, with clay cliffs near by and a very relaxing hot tub experience also in the town. It’s the perfect stopping point after a long day of hiking!
Owners did an excellent job adding special little touches to the room - from coffee to toiletries to great informational binder. Was very happy with our stay.
Loved the decor, very comfortable suite
Very nice well equipped motel.
Lovely presentation, and greet, immaculate
Outstanding venue in all respects.
Great little motel. Friendly people (and a cute dog). Very comfortable room.
Lovely, clean motel room with equipped kitchen. There is also an outside grill and laundry facilities available on site. There's a grocery nearby for food supplies. Great location to stay if going to Mt Cook. The Clay Cliffs in Omarama are also close.
Great small appartement. Fully renovated. Easy parking and friendly staff
On the outskirts of this small village where services appear to close early. Hotel is not the easiest place to find being within a residential area.
The unit was not value for the money. We stayed in unit 8, which had modern and clean fittings although the furniture was crammed in. The managers were very pleasant. The small unit only had one outside view which face a wall which made it depressing to be in.
Very easy, clean and quiet for a one night stopover.
Great place to stay
Spacious and not too far from Lake Tekapo but not too near to be touristy.
Everything was just so perfect! The room was clean and new, with all the things we needed. The Wi-Fi was good, really have nothing to complain at all. Highly recommended!
Great value, woukd definitely return if we're travelling in the area again.
Rooms a bit small
We have stayed here in the past and would absolutely stay again as a couple or 2 pax, but the sofa bed for the 3rd person was not comfortable and did not have a good night sleep. The room in general in absolutely clean and almost new condition and all good quality elements including the main bed, bathroom etc.
Small town motel with all the essentials plus extra thoughtful amenities in the small kitchen. VERY clean. Must have been recently renovated.
Nice clean, quiet place between Lake Tekapo and Queenstown.
Lovely new, modern room. The bed was comfortable. It was clean & warm.
Excellent place to stay staff very friendly and helpful, clean tidy ,and peaceful.
Cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. The place sparkled. On a quiet street so no noise. Backs onto farm land. Lovely owners. Definitely stay there again.
We were really happy with our stay. The owners were friendly, unit comfortable and clean and had everything we were looking for. I would stay again.
This little place is the nicest motel I have ever seen. The layout design of the small room makes it seem much bigger. The quality of the furniture is top notch. I can't believe I'm gushing about a motel. but it's really that good.
Very friendly hosts
Very modern rooms, clean, friendly staff. Great motel.
Had a lovely stay at BigSky Motel. Great service and fantastic accommodation. Thank you!
Was lovely and quiet. Staff helpful
Nice & friendly hosts.. very clean...Enjoyed our stay
Cleaniness
Great welcome. Really quiet location. The accommodation was spotless and the bed really comfy . One suggestion would be to replace the towels . Would definitely stay again .
It was very clean and modern. It is nice for two people. The cliffs in ge area are a must see.
Motel blended with its residential setting below mountains.Had been completely redone and just sparkles. Owners turned heaton when starting to chill. Nice people. Nice place
So nice to find a quiet motel, off the main road and away from traffic :-) Lovely and clean, will certainly be using this place again.
Nice place to stay.
Without a doubt the cleanest and best motel ever stayed at.
Amazing brand new hotel. The condition of the room was perfect and completely clean, spotless. I was upgraded to a one bedroom and found the entire suite very comfortable. Comfy living room and efficiency kitchen. Bedroom was again spotless and large. All the rooms on the second level have a small balcony, perfect for watching the stars, the lower level rooms also each have a outdoor sitting area. Guest laundry was equipped with brand new high quality machines. Reception staff was friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this establishment. It is located slightly outside of town (which I liked), and is located on a road, so cars would drive by once and a while, but I live in Brooklyn and it really didn’t bother me. Very quiet at night.
We were very surprised with this place. It was in great condition and felt much more luxurious than a 2-star motel. The room and kitchenette were very convenient. The only downside was there wasn't a daily housekeeping (we slept there for 2 nights but our room was not cleaned). Overall, it was a great place to stay in our trip to mount cook national park.
Lovely new motel everything really clean and all you’d need for a stay.
We were stuck in mount cook and We were not able to reach the hotel. We informed both the hotel and the website hotels.com in advance, but we were not provided with any kind of credit. Wish there wAs some flexibility.
Incredibly clean and decorated with a magical eye-I am usually oblivious to the finer points of interior decorating. The manager was terrific and would recommend this facility in a heartbeat!
