Alpine Lodges, hotel in Lake Tekapo

Situated in Lake Tekapo in the Canterbury region, Alpine Lodges features a patio. The property has mountain and lake views, and is 46 km from Mt. Dobson.

Fabulous location - 5 minutes drive from the town yet secluded enough to feel like you are in the wilderness. The wood fireplace was extra special and the bed had the most comfortable doona that was warm but so lightweight it made you just want to cocoon. The design of the cabin was well thought out and you wondered how they managed to place all amenities in such an organised way. Sam the manager was extra helpful and friendly . We organised a fishing tour with Tim who went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience.

    We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort. The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings. The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food. We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake. Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

    The apartment was extremely well appointed & super comfortable. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. So much room to move about. The manager was fantastic & so helpful. He is amazing. We would recommend Mantra Lake Tekapo to any of our family or friends passing through the region.

    I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

    Great place to visit beautiful view.

    Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly. There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go. Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later. Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

    Lake Tekapo is a lovely town with beautiful views of the mountains and lakes. Lots of lovely walking trails and places to explore in and around the lakes. There are great cycling trails in the area too. Mountain Cook in only a short distance away. There are hot springs and pools to visit and great places to eat at.

    We stayed in the West apartment. Fantastic space with an elevated position and a spectacular view of Lake Tekapo. Well designed, clean and comfortable, this modern 2-bedroom unit with expansive deck is a great place to stay for 2 couples traveling together. The fireplace was a nice addition for chilly evenings. The apartment is about a 3-minute drive to the supermarket, shops and restaurants of Lake Tekapo and about an hour from Aoraki Mt. Cook National Park. Very quiet neighborhood. Ample parking. Highly recommended.

    This is probably my best stay ever in Tekapo, comparing to my previous stay in hotels/motels. Location - very close to town centre Kitchen - great kitchen with gas stoves and a big oven Dining room & lounge - open design with a large dining table Rooms - very comfortable * Balcony - this is the highlight of this property. Instead of heading to the lake side, we could easily turn off the lights and sit comfortably on the couch on the balcony to enjoy the night and stargazing.

    Lu Lu's home was a lovely place for my family of 6 to spend the night. The home was nicely decorated and felt warm, cosy, and welcoming. The main door was accessed by a digital lock which we appreciated so we did not have to worry about keys at all. We arrived late and left early the next morning so we did not get to fully enjoy the home but will definitely consider returning if we were ever back in Lake Tekapo in the future.

    From the moment we stepped in and saw the breathtaking view of Lake Tekapo, we knew we made the right choice. The rooms were so comfortable and inviting that we felt we were at home. We appreciated the extra throws and blankets, as well as the detailed instructions and well-labelled devices. A pleasure from start to finish, due to the owner's hospitality and thoughtful touches.

    The hotel was outstanding. Spotlessly clean, staff really friendly. The view from the room was out of this world, looking over Lake Tekapo. Highly recommend booking an top floor room (out of 2) so at night you can open the skylight blinds and be blown away by the sights of the stars truly breathtaking. Will definitely stay here again.

    The house is brand new, super clean with everything you need. The location is super convenient with a lot of restaurants and Lake Tekapo within walking distance. We watched wonderful Milky Way at night and a bit Southern lights, what a surprise. check in and check out were smooth and easy. Will come back.

    This is my fourth time stopping in Lake Tekapo on my way from Christchurch to Glenorchy. For the location and value, I would choose this motel over the two others where I've stayed in Lake Tekapo. This one was quieter and cleaner than the other two.
