The best experience at Tekapo

Became a private tour

Since there was no one else that booked for this tour, it became a private and personal tour! Mary's a really great tour guide. She's been around for 3 years and I can see she really loves her job! I learned about a lot of things from her from this tour, which is certainly more than just a feed-animal-farm-tour! It was an experience seeing a pine cone as big as a durian and a pineapple, and also the antlers of a 7 yr old deer, drank 99.8% pure water from the refreshing river and ate some pure honey still with the wax in it! Just ask any questions and Mary would know the answer! My favourite was getting to meet Buster (and Chief the bully haha)! They're retired horses and Buster's such a lovely horse.

Lake Tekapo and her stunning scenery.

In Silver River Stargazing, Megan is our host, she shares with us all she knows about galaxy, and she gets the sense of humor, also an amazing story teller. All people live near with Lake Tekapo are galaxy protecter, you should come to feel and witness, what they protect and what there work hard for.

Amazing experience, incredible views and awesome knowledge from the guide. My advice would be to wrap up warm, and wear warm shoes...or you're feet will get numb. Tekapo is amazing, and this evening was just the icing on the cake A+

Super nice

Very good experience! Few reasons: -polite and warm welcoming, nice staff -they proposed me to go on an earliest tour where so seat were still available, without charging the price difference -a view of a lot of constellations, nebula and stars (shown on the sky or in the telescope where you can see so much details) for a very affordable price -help to take moon photos through the telescope and they take a photo of you with an amazing sky behind for the souvenir

It was a nice getaway from the kids just me and my hubby for 2 nights the next morning at the hotel it was after 12 I saw a cleaner I asked for conditioner she asked if I wanted room service I said "no" as I was coming back to my room to rest it should of already been done (as a hotel cleaner service is important) For the $170 a night I expect service a made bed and clean towels The room is more like staying at a hostel we had a kettle but no kitchen sink only bathroom sink and didn't even have any cooking equipment As a hotel worker we laways make sure the room is warm before the customer has arrived. I paid for my room 2 weeks before and my room was freezing took ages to warm up Hot water is touchy really really hot can't get perfect would of been harder if I had my kids but just me and hubby we dealt with it The toilet had a nice pube on it from the people before Didn't like only there being 1 beside table I had to use a chair for my table And all the wiring coming out of the bedside table ( the only table if ya don't call the kettle,cups and hot drinks sachets which isn't a table it's a cupboard) but you could of screwed the table to the wall so the table couldn't move and expose all the wiring It's a nice place but won't stay again Not worth the price wish I searched around instead of going for the first available one But the shampoo and conditioner smells amazing

Wonderfully relaxing. Lots of families around in the afternoon so I stuck to the adult only pool. Amazing hot temperatures and a water fountain nearby to stay hydrated. I love that parts of the pool had shade too, it was a warm day. The views were phenomenal! Staff were lovely and you’ll need $3 for a locker, which you have for three hours.

We had an astounding time during the whole stargazing sesh with George— it was very informative and I would say a unique experience too! Then we wrapped it up with hot chocos & BBQ marshmallows in a very chilly night. It was an exceptional night to wrap up our anniversary trip. You are such an amazing host, George! Thank you very much for sharing all your insights & keep inspiring everyone with what you do. ♥️

Experiência incrível

Estive com a minha namorada nessa experiência para observar as estrelas e foi simplesmente incrível! Vimos muitas constelações a olho nu, tivemos explicações sobre como navegar usando as estrelas, e ainda tivemos a oportunidade de ver vários diferentes astros nos telescópios, uma nebulosa azul, uma outra vermelha, uma estrela que brilha nas cores do arco íris… o chocolate quente, as cobertas e os marshmallows no fogo foram o charme e toque final do passeio. Eu simplesmente amei!

They provide a detailed introduction, blankets, and warm hot chocolate. You can also enjoy toasting marshmallows. Through professional telescopes, we were able to see Saturn, the Southern Cross, and the visible Milky Way. I highly recommend participating in this if the weather allows.

It was such a lovely night and it was a perfect night to do stargazing in winter! Loved the way George made it so informative and fun! We saw lots of stars through the telescope and even planet Saturn! To top the night off, we saw a shooting star! Wishing all my wish to come true!

It was a great experience for me, I had driven from Christchurch city to this place after flew from Auckland and I got really tired. But I really felt chill and in those pools. I would almost sleep inside. View is uniq with Tekapo Lake and there are many trees behind you. There was a lady on the desk she was very helpful, she helped me to charge my mobile phone other it would die almost. Thank you her again :)

What a way to end a South Island roady! Great spot with views from the pools. Liked that there was an adults only pool. Whole place felt very clean and not congested. Body wash in showers, togs spinner, nice cafe. And ability to hire items for those needing it.

Beautiful views, lovely clean pools. Good cafe with a nice range of food, reasonable prices. Change area is probably a little small considering how busy it gets. No shower to rinse off in family changing room.

Lovely place to relax in the warm pools, only downside was the property lockers, not very clear instructions on how to use them, picture showed that they would automatically unlock after one hour but on querying this with staff were told they would not! Thought of lockers automatically opening whilst we were still in the pools and anyone could help themselves to our belongings was not very reassuring!

Lovely day out in Tekapo and so relaxing to spend it by the pools. Clean and comfortable. A must do if you can. It was a hot day so glad to have a shady area to enjoy the water.

Great value for money when you can re-enter throughout the day. Very clean facilities; toilets. Showers, changing area. Great poolside assistance if needed and life guards on duty ensuring all clients enjoy their time and children follow the rules. Stunning views of the mountains and lake from top two pools. Be nice when the hill behind grows again. The shade sails were a god send but definately recommend wearing your sunnies as very gleary from the water and white snowy mountains on a fine day. Fantastic experience we would definately do again.
