As the area is a Dark sky reserve and the upstairs rooms have an openable sky light we were very surprised there was so
Pros:

We were upstairs and had a good view of the lake.
It was nice to have breakfast served in the room

Cons:

The bath was so big it took me 1/2 hour to fill!
There was so much bedding/ sheets etc on the bed
The breakfast wasn’t served with any care… all rather functional

Great Lake Tekapo stay
Pros:

Location to shops / restaurants and the lake front excellent. Friendly receptionist who also helped with buffet breakfast in the morning. We really enjoyed how they did this by ordering your hot food specifically as you ordered from the kitchen and cold fruit etc from a buffet table along with coffee/juice. Great view from room and viewing window in roof to watch stars but also an electric Venetian to close to keep room dark at night

Cons:

It was all lovely - no complaints

A great option for star lovers - can 100% recommend
Pros:

Friendly staff. Loved the window in the roof to see the stars - so cool! Extremely comfortable bed.

Cons:

Breakfast is very simple. It would never be a 5* hotel in Europe, but I did have a great experience and can highly recommend this hotel anyway!

Worth the price for a slice of luxury among the stars
Pros:

The property was beautiful! The upper rooms have sun roofs so we opened ours up at night to see the stars!! The room was well set up, and the bathtub was a bonus.

Breakfast the next morning was delicious!

Cons:

Only con was the shower silicone was quite mouldy, which made it seem unclean.

若房價在預算內，下次來還是會選這裡
Pros:

房間很大，廚房設備齊全，免費早餐份量很多很好吃！有中文服務很驚喜，服務人員很親切！如果房價能再便宜一些，CP值會更高

Cons:

1.浴室裡沒有洗髮精，只有2瓶沐浴乳+潤髮乳，住了2天，只好用沐浴乳洗頭！
2.停車場的沙蠅比較多

Moderne et spacieux
Pros:

La chambre est moderne et très confortable. La salle de bains est dotée d'une douche et d'une baignoire. La présence d'un velux au dessus du lit permettant de regadrer les étoiles la nuit fut une agréable surprise.
Le petit déjeuner est simple mais suffisant.

Cons:

Rien
