Guest Access:

During your stay, you'll have access to all the amenities and spaces within the property.



The Neighborhood:

Cherish the enchanting turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo, framed by the majestic Southern Alps. The pace here is relaxed, inviting you to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty at every turn. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakefront in the early morning or late afternoon, when the water reflects the changing colors of the sky in a truly magical display.



For breathtaking, panoramic views, many of us head to Mt John Observatory, a favorite spot for stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the Southern Hemisphere. When you're in need of a little pampering, Tekapo Springs offers natural hot pools to soak in while enjoying mountain vistas. Foodies will find a handful of cozy cafés and eateries around the village, serving fresh coffee and hearty meals that showcase local flavors.



Of course, no visit is complete without a stop at the famous Church of the Good Shepherd, which offers a glimpse into our community’s heritage while perfectly capturing the serene essence of Lake Tekapo. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, a moment of reflection, or a friendly local vibe, this neighborhood provides the ideal setting for a truly unforgettable experience.



Getting Around:

Getting around the Lake Tekapo area can be as relaxed or adventurous as you’d like. Many of the main attractions, such as the lakefront and popular eateries, are comfortably within walking distance. If you’re looking to explore further, renting a bicycle is a popular option, and there are well-marked pathways that provide spectacular views along the way.



For those venturing beyond the immediate town center, driving is typically the most convenient method—especially if you plan to visit Mount John Observatory or other scenic spots around the region. If you’re without a car, several local tour operators and shuttle services offer guided experiences, making it easy to see the area’s highlights without the hassle of navigating on your own.
