Disliked: Cleanliness
To be honest, expensive for what it is. The units are comfy but small. The shower was full of hair and we had to get the drain cleaned because it would not drain, it also stunk of sewage. They did come and promptly clean it, they were very polite. The sound deadening was not very good between units. All noise would travel. The parking situation while ample, was not ideal. The bed was extremely comfy, the heat pump was very quiet. I was very impressed by those 2 aspects. Plus. Take your own milk, there's hardly any provided. And for the second time I totally disagree with the property's so called conditions on charging for cleaning costs after your stay. Does this mean the apartment is not serviced? $30 an hour! For late check out. Seems extreme.

This was a good stay. The room felt a little small for a three night stay but it was good. It was clean except for the stained duvet cover. We asked that it be changed and the team was very responsive to our request. Thanks. We pretty much had to drive everywhere but it was so easy to get around Lake Tekapo that we would stay at Skyrim Lodge again.

Luxury, if only we had chairs for the deck, it would have been perfect. Make sure you have downloaded a movie to watch on their ginormous TV! You don’t have to worry about after hours check-in due to self check-in.

The property is nice inside, new construction but it’s located in a residential area. Unless you have a car, you need to walk to the town.

Not a lodge

This is NOT a lodge. It is in an area of new buildings/houses which are designed into individual units. It is an area containing many of these not a lodge. The area is under construction and is a 5 minutes drive from the town. The unit is well appointed clean and quiet but for the average Kiwi be warned, it is more like social housing thanna lodge.

It’s digital check in so make sure you get the room Information before you arrive. Contact the property on their phone number and they will text it to you. If you find it difficult to call from your non-New Zealand phone, go to a bar in town and ask the bartender how to make calls in New Zealand. Worked for me. But without this knowledge you can’t get the room information! So do it early and not at the last minute!

Amazing stay at Skyrim. Quick 15 mins into the main restaurant area or a quick 5 min drive in. The lodge is brand new and very welled thought out. Great location and beautifully decorated. Communication with hotel made the checking process easy. Love the dark sky experience and glad we stayed at Skyrim since it was close by. Walking distance to lake Tekapo is also a huge highlight. Thxs Skyrim.
