Surrounded by tall pine trees and a large garden, Lake Tekapo Cottages offers stunning mountain views. Guests enjoy free WiFi and free secure parking.

All studios and cottages are well-decorated and include a private en suite bathroom. This family-run property provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. All cottages have balconies.

We were delighted to be offered an upgrade to the “honeymoon suite”. The clean roomy cottage had a homey feel. The location was ideal ~ tucked away in the trees and yet a 5 minute walk to trails around the lake and a 10 minute walk from several restaurants.

Peppers Bluewater Resort is a 4.5-star hotel close to the shores of Lake Tekapo. This resort offers luxury accommodation, great views and is ideally positioned for exploring the Mackenzie Basin and Southern Alps. It is a 10-minute walk from the Church of the Good Shepherd.

The staff were absolutely wonderful, we got upgraded to a larger apartment with a kitchen and were even given a free pass to the hot springs which was very exciting! The apartment was huge, with a lovely balcony and view of the lake. If it hadn't been cloudy the stars would have been brilliant too. The kitchen was very well equipped and the staff were happy to help if we had any requests (not that we needed anything else!). The bed was extremely comfortable and the very large bath was delightful, as was the shower. The non-fogging mirror was also a nice surprise! My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone.

    The view was stunning. The resort hosted an easter egg hunt for the kids during our stay. There were lots of easter eggs (chocolate) for everyone. That makes the stay memorable and special. Breakfast buffet was good, although the staffs were slow to top up the food.

    We were greeted warmly and given an upgrade. We had a lovely view from our room of the lake. The resort is within walking distance of the lake and restaurants, there is also a handy supermarket close by. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options.
