Top Dark Sky Project Hotel Reviews

The Godley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"pretty good"

Lake Tekapo Village Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and spacious suite with a great jacuzzi tub. We were pleasantly surprised by how close the motel was to the lake and the famous church. It was very walkable, which made it so convenient for seeing the attractions, taking hikes and star gazing. The free breakfast was excellent. The staff at the restaurant went above and beyond accommodating our requests. The food was delicious! We loved our stay!"

Mantra Lake Tekapo

10/10 Excellent

"Location away from the village but with a few minutes walk to the lake. Beautiful apartment with everything we could possibly need. More like a home than a hotel with a backyard full of roses in bloom, decks to sit out on and to look at the stars, great lounge space and really comfortable bed. The pool is a beautiful temperature and great to swim in after a long drive to get there. The mantra is run by a lovely, friendly manager and great staff. Would highly recommend this accomodation."
