Grand Suites Lake Tekapo – Outstanding stay This was one of our favorite stays. The suite was large, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out, with a great sense of openness. The kitchenette had everything you’d need for a proper stay — and the bathroom and shower were especially impressive: modern, spacious, and very well finished. Everything was spotless, well maintained, and clearly designed with comfort in mind. Location is also excellent — easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, the lake, and all the main sights in Tekapo.

EVERYTHING! This place was such a find. I am so happy with my decision to book a lake view room. It was ground floor and overlooked the walkway, bridge and gorgeous blue/green waters. Room was huge. Everything was modern as it’s a relatively new place. But well appointed and designed. The staff were incredible. And there is a cat! It’s worth every penny from the amenities, location and living space (and cat). The little extras in the kitchen and top quality bathroom products. The stars did elude me due to cloud cover but I knew they were there. Thank you Team Grand Suites Lake Tekapo. You are definitely doing destination accommodation. I never wanted to leave.

Loved the convenient location and awesome views of the bridge and lake from our room (#21). Several restaurants nearby with a variety of food types. Very spacious room with surprising kitchen features and utensils. Loved the heated tile floors in the bathroom and fresh milk provided for Nespresso coffee in the room. Good book in room full of information on local and hotel things. Good for a week long stay but sadly we only had one night. Would definitely return for more hiking.

The girl at the front desk was very helpful upon our arrival. Gave us plenty of useful info including a new great place to eat. Everything was perfect except for5 one thing. There is windows next to the front door that light comes in all night and first thing in the morning even though they have great black out drapes on patio windows.
