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.
hotel location: 10/10

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.

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.

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!

Truly amazing! We used professional astronomical telescopes to see so many fascinating celestial bodies! We saw Venus, which has phases just like the moon; the stunning Tarantula Nebula, which is a birthplace of beautiful baby stars; the Wishing Well Cluster; the gorgeous, jewel-like 47 Tucanae cluster; and Saturn with its rings. It was just incredible! Despite the cold weather, there was hot cocoa and a roasted marshmallow activity! Plus, everyone gets a professional photo of the starry sky. Definitely worthy of a 5-star review!

it was amazing! we originally booked the summit tour but due to weather it was cancelled and Klook facilitated the refund so quickly (within a day!). so we book the crater tour via Klook as well and we got so lucky to see so many constellations, and using telescope to spot Saturn and some really cool stars. guide was immaculate.
