Great location and the Godley is an impressive setup, but slightly disappointed that our room view was blocked considering we booked well over 6 months in advance.
Fantastic village and eateries.
Being upstairs when we had no view. All else was great.

Location. Next to the lake.
Dirty, dusty, paint fade n torn. Mattress spoiled as sank when lying down. No proper lighting too. My room facing main road..noisy.
Even it's next to lake Tepako but basic facilities should b properly provide.

Great location right on the lake with parking available. Staff were helpful and polite
If you are less able to carry luggage upstairs it would be advisable to book an accessible room

The location is superb. Very close to Lake Tekapo and Church of Good Sheperd. Quite close to super market like Four Square.
It look a bit old and the restroom also look not quite clean (as it quite old).

The location was great.
Very noisy, we could hear the people in all the units next to us & above us until very late, so it felt like the walls were thin - one unit was still talking & banging about loudly until after midnight.
The bed & pillows were very uncomfortable.

easy to find, clean with helpful staff.
if I’m being picky- I had to have the thick blackout curtains shut when in the room for privacy, would have been nice to have some netting to let light in and give some privacy.

The view
Shower not working properly, water was either extremely hot or extremely cold.
Could hear the other guests through the walls.
Wifi was poor.
Room could do with a make over.
Hooks in the bathroom that aren't broken to hang towels.
6.0
View was great, staff was great and repaired a tv fault quickly. Heating was good.
There was no mention of only stairs up to the first floor level of rooms. We wouldn’t have asked for a top floor if we had known there was no lift. Rooms were small and the lighting was very dim.

location handy to Tekapo

Ease of checking in, room comfortable as were the beds. Also walking distance to the best Pumpkin & Orange Soup at Stones Restaurant. Parking was good also. Very handy place to stay.
