Lakes Edge Lodge

Lake Tekapo

8/10 Very good

It was an unusual property, compared to many that I have booked on your site. It was more of a hostel, and for that purpose it served the guests very well. It was clean, safe, and well appointed. But as a "hotel", it was a little less than we expected. The room was clean, warm, and comfortable, but the bathrooms were seperate and FREEZING COLD. The facility nextdoor afforded good dining, ice skating, and snow tubing. The setting was a beautiful mountains and lakefront view.

I loved everything. I would stay again if I come back to this area.

And boy, did they! We had room service dinner, and each—absolutely delicious—course was delivered exactly when we were ready for it, and at the perfect temperature. With no television, we had only conversation (mostly about the food!) and stars to keep us entertained, but seeing every constellation imaginable is an...
