Great location with Lake Tekapo views from the room. It's a short walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd and you can stargaze by the lake at night. The room is spacious and comes with a kitchen and washing machine, which is very convenient.

Really love this place as is located near the lake without any other building blocking the view. Shared kitchen is well equipped with enough appliances and bowls/plates.
Room is quite spacious.
Room and toilet have heater. Room heater seems to be off automatically after some time.
Warm shower and tap water provided in the toilet.
Enjoy the lounge and kitchen with nice view.
Lift and laundry are available. Only 2 washing machine and 2 dryers.
Can be still quite pricey probably due to being a touristy area.
FYI, no lupin in mid Oct.

We booked this Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier helicopter experience at the last minute, a day before the scheduled flight and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip! Our pilot, Josh, was fantastic – friendly, professional, and made us feel safe from start to finish. Even the staff that oriented for the pre-flight (forgot her name). The flight offered breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and the stunning Tasman Glacier. Landing on the glacier was absolutely surreal, and Josh even took a great photo of us to remember the moment.
Everything was well-organized, and the pilot’s commentary during the flight made the experience even more special. If you’re visiting Mt Cook, don’t miss this - it’s worth every minute and every dollar!

Wanted to rate 5 but there was a technical issue a bit during the flight where we did not really hear what captain say on the helicopter. That’s sad whcause I’d love to listen to the story but it must have been the noise all around. However, it was truly a once in a life time experience and highly recommend other people to try!

Great experience. Pilot was informative and professional. The whole event was smooth from check-in, to briefing to heading to the helipad. 10/10 would highly recommend them.

Operator may be flexible for schedule adjustments due to weather. We got called to move up our tour if we wanted and could make it after the weather cleared and sun came out the day before our scheduled tour.
