Lovely hot shower, comfortable bed & good tea/coffee amenities. Parking outside so easy to get to room with bags.
Clean and simple stay and we enjoyed gazing stars from the side deck
Nothing
Location. It snowed. Comfortable bed.
Not very private, have to have curtains closed then no natural light.
Really quiet and perfect size for 2
Couch was slightly uncomfortable and a little on the small size
Very small - needed better kitchenette. No facecloths provided.
The location
I contacted the property shortly after checkout when I realised I had left my earring in the room. At the time, I was told staff would keep an eye out and I could potentially collect it the next day if found. Later, I was advised that two managers had checked the room and couldn’t locate it. While I understand guests are responsible for their belongings, being told that “if it was important, you should have looked after it” felt dismissive and not particularly customer-focused. I contacted the property promptly and was simply hoping for some support in trying to locate the item. The communication was inconsistent, and overall the experience was disappointing.
Modern and clean
Bit walk to town
希望有烤箱,单人床太小了,睡的腿都在外面
Quiet, comfortable small place for a overnight stay.
My friend thought her bed was uncomfortable apart from that we were only there to sleep
The room is cozy but spacious and has a fridge, kitchen sink and heated blankets. The beds were very comfy and the shower really good. Parking was close to the accommodation.
The bathroom gets quite cold because there's no underfloor heating. There is no outdoor furniture to sit and watch the stars. The accommodation is up a hill from town.
Clean
Not much to say, they all look the same, not great, not bad
Great little spot, great wifi and television to unwind after a long drive, perfectly close to town and right on the Alps2Ocean bike trail’s alternative path out of Tekapo. On a very sweet little street that allows for great views of the stars - works better if you walk up the hill at the base of the street because of the one house nearby with a light that’s far too bright :)
Our only complaint was that several houses up the street, there’s a (clearly rental) place with a light that’s incredibly bright and was a blatant violation of the Dark Sky project - like even brighter than a normal garage/driveway light in a non-light-restricted area.
Comfort
Small but exactly what I needed for the stay perfect for a solo traveller or couple
Établissement très bien situé.
- Easy parking on street even when allocated spots were full - Easy check in - Warm, cosy, clean and modern room - Kitchenette with toaster and bench space - Dining table and lounge - Wifi - Milk sachets in fridge
Taking accommodation prices into consideration; - No laundry facilities - Can hear your neighbours activities - Lovely kitchenette, however no sink, requires cleaning dishes in bathroom. But easy enough in bathroom setup. - Requires a decent fitness level to walk in and out of town. But super quick access and location with a car
Basic and comfortable
The killer front door. Drastic closing power
Strategic location, sufficient space for 2 people, easy to park, cozy setup

非常喜歡這裡的浴室,房間內還有微波爐,從超市買食材回來處理很方便。晚上走路可以到蒂卡波湖看星星,非常寧靜。
There is a note on wall says the hotel staff will knock on the door and provide amenities topup service between 9 am to 930 am. What it doesn't say is, if you aren't in the room or the door isn't answered, your room will be skipped. When I reached out for the hotel management for that, btw this was by booking messages which is inefficient, they just insisted the BS that they couldn't enter the room w/o customers permission. They didn't even think of how to make things right at the first time. When I got tired of arguing and simply asked for towel replacement, they said they could only do that at 10:30 pm, which is way too late.
Clean and comfortable bed
Very small room. Adjoining another room. Noise transfer was an issue.
Modern comfortable and clean unit which is just a short drive into the town.
These are small units so are a little bit short on space for bags, dishes have to be washed in the bathroom sink & the walls seem thin so if you have neighbours being loud late at night, you'll hear them!
Clean , comfortable bed
Very small room
Spacious, safe
Really enjoyed our stay, room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. Stayed 2 nights and it was perfect.
Modern
Dining area blind was too short for the window. Single beds Out of town
The location is convenient and there is plenty of parking slots.
The room is small, no kitchen sink, so you have to wash dishes in the bathroom.
Liked the fact that it was close to town and had Netflix
The fact that I could hear the conversations in the next room through our wall. Our room was situated so that every car that came down the street the car lights shone in our room or in daylight they could see in the room which meant that the curtains had to stay closed even though it was hot.
Die gute Lage und der kostenlose Parkplatz. Das freundliche Personal, welches morgens geklingelt hat und noch frische Handtücher etc gebracht hat.
Wir sind von einem alleinstehenden Gebäude ausgegangen, aber es handelt sich um einen Teil in einer größeren Wohneinheit, deshalb ist es auch etwas hellhörig. Uns fehlte hier ein wenig die Privatsphäre. Für die Größe des Zimmers in einer Wohneinheit war der Preis zu hoch.
All are satisfied.
The property is very new and very clean. Good location.
Very clean
Nowhere to sit outside and nowhere to put luggage.
Very modern and extremely clean
The windows looked out onto bare scrubland, so not an aesthetic location. It’s part of a new housing development so currently looks a bit bleak. Also, the TV only showed channels in German! Even Amazon Prime Programs! And we couldn’t work out how to change this setting. There were no staff to ask for help.
Close to town
The duvets were dirty, the tables were dusty, the couch was uncomfortable, No outdoor furniture. Not a great place for the money we spent.
Good location and could walk to town. Quiet room, and comfortable bed. Easy checkin to the room. Parking right outside the room. Warm
A bit small and not much room to put the suitcase. Bathroom had only one hand towel and no face washers. When the cleaner came around with more supplies the next morning, she didn't know what a face washer was.
The location was excellent. Just a short walk into town and there is a beautiful walk to Lake George and the white water kayaking course that you can walk to from the property. Very clean and staff pop by in the morning in case you need any supplies. I left an item at the property and they found it immediately and are sending back to me. Very efficient great communication.
室内が広く余裕があり、清潔に清掃されていました。
特にありません
Great location for stopping at lake tekapo, comfortable room with easy check in instructions.
A beautiful place and a spotless room. Comfortable, clean, and service of the highest standard. I recommend.
Very good
A clean and comfortable room, just the right size for two people. Although you can't cook in the room, it's only about a 5-min drive to the town centre, where there are plenty of restaurants.
Huge TV great for movie nights when the weather wasnt great. Location was close to town.
Immaculately clean, luxury fittings, great shower, great bed, 2 minutes to the lake. Very comfortable!!
No hanging space and luggage stand would have been handy
the location was excellent ,with the snows sorrounding the place highly recommended for winter
none
Very grateful to have a heater! Just wish there was extra smaller heaters or the heater was a bit bigger as it struggled to heat up the room.
I really like the place and we stayed there and next morning we need to fix our car which was parked side of the road while coming to motel. So, we ask them for late check out and she said yes with friendly and nice way they were help full. And i would like to stay in luminous everytime i visit lake tekapo.
Everything was more perfect than expected.
Washing dishes in bathroom
A little sore on the milk supply,but 5 stars just the same.
Very clean and comfortable, quiet at night so slept very well, the keypad entry was very convenient.
Lots of building work on adjacent plots so it didn’t look very nice, but as we were out all day anyway we were not disturbed by it.
Comfortable bed, good size room, short drive from centre, easy check-in
Curtains were stained and unclean. Not much privacy, felt like we always had to have the curtains shut with people walking past. No option of 'do not disturb' so we had a cleaner knocking on our door at 9am.
Very clean, reasonably well equipped, easy access to the village. Someone came each day to see if we wanted anything restocking, ie teabags, towels, loo roll etc. Overall very happy.
Very 'cosy'. Could hear the people next door talking, tv & snoring! No views at all, just looked out into other units and no outdoor space. It would benefit by putting a couple of tables/chairs on the space between units. It wasn't advertised as having views, so fair enough.
安静舒适方便
退房时间10点 太早了
Good location, only short walk from town.
The rooms all faced towards each other so little privacy is wanted to open windows. Also the pillows were terrible, would really recommend upgrading them.
Nieuw, fijne bedden en schoon
Rondom het appartement was het nog erg kaal en er was geen buitenmeubilair.
