Great location, short walk to Lake Tekapo and many other eateries around. Laundry avail for use (paid and hours apply) Room was generally clean, with some rooms on 2nd floor overlooking Lake Tekapo and you'll be able to see stars at night on a cloudless day!
Large garden for your kids or pets. Parking area (free for hotel guests - located at the back of the hotel) relatively small but should still get a lot.
Overall a decently good stay
Advantages: The B&B is a large suite, which feels like home. The interior decoration is very attentive and tasteful. The front yard has a lake view, and the backyard is open to the sky to take pictures of the stars.
Disadvantages: You need to climb stairs to move your luggage to the second floor. The bathroom shower room in the living room is blocked. I stargaze until late and take a shower at midnight. The shower water is very good, but because the floor drain is blocked, I have to turn off the water after half a minute of showering. I stand in the shower room and wait for 3 minutes for the water to seep in very slowly, so I took the fastest shower in my life. There are hairs on the bed and the bedding smells a bit. I think it may be time to wash the pillow core.
Check in by yourself, the boss is Chinese, you can communicate in Chinese, the location is very quiet and not noisy
But the bed was soft, especially on the side, it collapsed, and the roof often made noises. The room was affixed to the sound of wood heat and cold. I thought it was an animal fighting on the roof.

Located on the Western shore of Lake Tekapo, Isolation Bay is a 5-bedroom house with stunning panoramic lake and mountain views. Guests can warm up by the cozy fireplace.
Isolation Bay House is a 15-minute drive from Lake Tekapo and a 3-hour drive from Christchurch.
This luxurious lakefront house features a fully equipped kitchen and indoor/outdoor dining. All rooms have lake and mountain views, 2 have an private bathroom, and 1 has a spa bath. There are also laundry facilities.
Nearby activities include horse riding, fishing and hiking.
The location of the cabin is very good, just next to the Good Shepherd Church, within walking distance, and the door is tekapo Lake. Check-in is very convenient, the boss lives nearby. The room is also relatively clean and the area is enough.
This is a cute little boutique hotel situated near to Lake Tekapo and 15 mins drive to Mount John. It is good location as it is very near to the city centre where many shops, restaurants and a big supermarket are located. The service of this hotel is tip top and they serve breakfast to your room on a daily basis so we can eat while enjoying the lake view . Breakfast is great as well and I would like to give special comment about this hotel staff (Yvonne) who is very helpful and friendly and made good recommendation where to visit around Lake Tekapo. The room although not too big but it has a starlight which we can gaze the stars from the bed, it is quite interesting (but the room has to be in complete darkness). It is also near to the Church of the good shepherd and the view is so spectacular sitting just beside the lake.
The house itself is very complete and new, but far from the lake, there is no lake view, and unfortunately, the day we went, it happened to catch up with the power outage in the town, there were no candles, and the emergency measures without lighting were a bit unacceptable!
Lake tekapo is just behind the hotel. Very convenient for you walk to the lake. The room is good for 2 peoples. Heater really useful because lake tekapo temperature is quite low and cold. Front desk customer service also quite friendly and helpful. They try arrange the room side by side each for my friends and us. We had a ground floor, so that we do not need to carry luggage go up the staircase
Parking beside the road. Self Checkin so need to arrange in advance to get the door access. The room a bit small but the facilities in room very new. Checking out on the dot as it’s peak season. Clothes still very wet after one round cotton function on dryer.

Outstanding
GGuest UserThe room was large and clean. There was a sofa bed in the living room that could accommodate five or six people. We caught fish at the salmon factory and cooked them in the kitchen at night. It was delicious.
KKa KaThe stay was good, nice location. Just the kitchen too pack especially during dinner time. Kitchenware (pans, bowls cutleries etc) provided in the room we have to bring it down to the kitchen every time we need to prepare food in the kitchen.
GGuest UserThis was by far the best place I stayed at while traveling through New Zealand, even though there wasn’t anyone there to check us in. The process was still incredibly easy—getting the check-in information emailed to me was simple and straightforward. When I arrived, the room was clean, modern, and cozy, and they even left us a small gift since it was Christmas Eve. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel extra special. The unit also had laundry facilities, which was a huge bonus after living out of our suitcases for over a week. I would definitely stay here again—it had everything we needed and more, making it feel like a home away from home.
LLoklok magic momentI had an amazing stay at Peppers, which is located so close to the lake—it's incredibly convenient! The location made it easy to explore the surrounding area. The highlight of our stay, however, was the fantastic staff. A special shout-out to Aggie Sami, who went above and beyond to assist us. We accidentally left some of our belongings at the hotel, and Aggie was kind enough to arrange delivery all the way to Queenstown for us. Their helpfulness and attention to detail really made our experience memorable. Highly recommend staying here for both the location and exceptional service!
GGuest UserGreat little place to stay at during our visit to Lake Tekapo. With a quiet neighbourhood and beautiful views. It snowed while we were there, which was fantastic! We found the place to be nice and warm and the bed to be comfortable as well as the bathroom is great! Downsides were that some of the dishes were not clean, which put us off. Also someone had cooked curry in the microwave so it stunk out the microwave as well as half of the place smelt of curry. I would love to stay here again but expect that since a cleaning fee is paid that the placed is cleaned better.
CCharmaine S—-Pros:
Everything was clean.
There was ample heating.
Relatively near the main tekapo area (1 min drive).
House was spacious.
Cons:
The wifi password was handwritten badly and it was a guessing game to get the password. Also uncontactable via email.
No barricade around the house and there’s other houses right next door. People could walk by your room / house windows and peer in. Which was what happened to me twice. Zero privacy unless curtains are fully drawn.
FFayreWe are couple with a 5 year old girl. We paid SGD697.85 (Singapore dollar) for staying 2 nights in this “2 bedroom apartment” as stated.
3 points here to explain the terrible experience.
1. tv remote is not working. I don’t mind the owner making excuse like “ replied customer’s message within 20mins…..” but they actually took 29mins to reply (19:10 till 19:39). In fact, they didn’t manage to change the tv remote in the end. So I stayed 2 nights without using the TV!
2.there is no clear and obvious description that this “2 bedroom apartment” is actually an adjoining unit which means when u walked into the front door then there are 2 doors link to split parts of the apartment. The problem of adjoining units are thin walls are used to split the apartment into 2 small units. When u stay in this kind of apartment, u have to endure all kind of noises from whoever staying in neighboring rooms. We had 2 days enduring guesting from the other room shouting, slamming the door, kids screaming like crazy both early in the morning and afternoon!
3. When I reflect this bad experience with trip.com customer service, this hotel responded like they have no fault at all and played with words. This attitude makes us feel like being fooled. We paid money to expect to stay in an apartment with privacy and quiet environment but indeed we had such a bad experience!
In this market, if it’s an adjoining unit, they should not charge at the rate as if it’s an entire apartment.
I’m alright that they rejected to refund the extra amount they charged. Just have to reflect the facts in the review.
Thanks.
JJacq SGreat Stay Near Lake Tekapo!
The unit was sparkling clean and spacious, with a lovely courtyard to enjoy. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest.
Contrary to some reviews, no deposit was required, which was a pleasant surprise. The location is fantastic—less than a 5-minute drive to Lake Tekapo—and parking right in front of the unit was very convenient. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow.
The facilities were great overall especially kitchen amenities and 2in1 washer with dryer!
The dish wash machine helps lot on the kitchen cleaning work!
The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to add a fence in the shower area to separate the wet and dry zones, which would make it even better.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!
GGuest UserDisadvantages
1. It takes 15 minutes to walk down from Intercity, all uphill, and on gravel roads, so it's too tiring to drag luggage.
2. Self-service check-in, no front desk. It's really inconvenient to have no front desk.
3. The wifi is unstable, always unable to open, and stuck.
4. My room faces the road, and there is no gauze curtain, so I can only choose between privacy and darkness.
5. All the service staff are Chinese, and their English is not good, but fortunately I am Chinese.
6. Although they are Chinese, they still feel quite impersonal. I, a girl, asked them to give me a ride when I checked out, but they all had cars, and it was only a 5-minute walk, but they didn't help. It just made people feel uncomfortable.
7. You need to learn garbage classification seriously, and you will be fined $50 if you misclassify. The documents guiding classification are all in English, and you need to be good at English, which is still quite complicated.
8. Although there is a kitchen, there is no induction cooker, only a microwave.
9. The quilts are quite dirty, but fortunately they give a blanket.
Advantages
1. There is no problem with electric blankets and heating. It's not cold even though it's so remote.
2. You can see the stars directly at night without joining a stargazing group.
玫玫萱The hotel sign is not obvious. You need to pay attention to it to find out. Uncle Maori called me by the name and checked in for me because I stayed two nights and upgraded my suite with living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms. Just leave the key on the door when you leave
The hotel is right next to the lake, with beautiful scenery and superb lake views, and the starry sky at night.
The car is parked in the hotel, free of charge throughout the day, 🈶️ 2 queen beds, bath products, hair dryer, kettle, microwave, stove, towels, slippers, no toothpaste and toothbrush. The New Zealand steak is good, and I cook it every night for dinner. There is free coffee and tea bags, and drinking coffee every day feels good.
Just walk past the Church of the Good Shepherd, just go out to the lake, and check the starry sky at the Church of the Good Shepherd at night. It ’s beautiful! It's not far to the shops and supermarkets by car, it should be 10 minutes on foot
The hotel does not include breakfast. I made sandwiches myself and checked out at 10 am
