Good Room with Lakeview. Neat & Clean rooms. Good environment to stay and spacious Mess Hall to make your own food and eat at dining hall. Very Close to Lake Tekapo, Church of Good Shepherd and Tekapo Springs. All walking distance.

Lake Tekapo town is a very small one, walking distance to anywhere. so the location wasn't a big factor. hotel has free parking. was satisfied with the room. although it could had been said earlier the room is on the upper floor and the hotel does not have lift.

very friendly and super nice staff. lodge was heated and absolutely clean. only gripe was that the bathroom wasn’t present in the lodge. They should introduce the same.

We absolutely loved our stay at Aoraki Court Motel! We were lucky enough to get a room in the last row, so our balcony had a direct view of the mountains, which was absolutely beautiful.
We even made two little duck friends who always came to our balcony as a pair and knocked whenever we were there 😂 Definitely one of the cutest memories from our stay.
The night view was also unforgettable. The sky was filled with thousands of stars, and you could honestly just stand there staring at them forever despite how cold it was outside.
I also really liked that we could park our car directly in front of our doorstep, which made moving all our luggage in and out so much more convenient.
Overall, the location, views and experience were amazing. We would definitely recommend Aoraki Court Motel and would happily stay here again!

Very special experience! The staffs are friendly and the instructions are clear. All passangers please get ready your waterproof shoes, the snow are thick.

Highly recommended for everyone. The whole flight was fun and scenery is amazing from beginning to end. Shout out to the Captain Nigel for buttery smooth ride, you are amazing pilot. Also, the whole crew of The Helicopter Line for awesome service. I will be back.
