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!

You can experience two types of aircraft in one trip! Take a helicopter up to Mount Cook, where you'll witness the stunning blue of the glacial lakes – it's truly dreamlike. Enjoy walking on the snow atop Mount Cook, and then return via ski plane for a wonderfully fun experience!

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.

We were originally scheduled to fly the next morning, but the airline staff told us that the weather was very good that day, so they asked us if we wanted to take an early afternoon flight. The scenery during the flight was spectacular, the captain flew smoothly, and the landmark scenery explanation was very detailed👍 It's definitely worth a try!! ps: Fortunately, the flight was early because it was foggy the next morning👌🏻
