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.

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!

The provided equipment was quite comprehensive, the ground crew explained everything in great detail, and the helicopter was very new. Once we reached the glacier, our hiking guide, Hunter, was humorous and engaging, giving us a complete and enjoyable experience. Thank you to the entire team for their efforts!

We were incredibly lucky to have perfect weather — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both my child and I were thrilled and had a great time. Our guide Jasper that day was exceptionally attentive and considerate, and we all really liked him. We highly recommend everyone to try the glacier hiking tour.

What an incredible experience. Scott is such a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cheerful. The hike was around 1.5 hour with lots of time stopping for pictures, so it was not as physically demanding as expected. The glacier is truly mesmerising, it is one of the best memories I have made in NZ!

our guide Paul is really nice and such an amazing guide. he introduces all kinds of scenery to us very clearly as we passed the places. he constantly made sure we are warm and cozy on his van. 100/10 highly recommend!
