Dave and Sue hosted 16 couples at the Grand Suites for a weekend away. They were superb hosts, they looked after our every need and were continually wanting to help and ensure we were happy. The rooms are beautiful, extremely spacious and very well fitted out with spectacular views. We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend staying at the Grand Suites Tekapo. Thank you again Dave and Sue for your top class service and thoughtfulness- it was much appreciated.

Thanks, Rose, for your kind review. Great to hear that everybody was well looked after, and you all were very happy with your rooms. Yes, Sue and Dave do go out of their way to make sure every guest is OK. All the best and thanks for staying with us.

We had the pleasure of staying at Grand Suites a week ago. We already want to go back. The apartment was simply beyond our expectations. Comfy, stylish, amazing amenities and super clean. We could not have asked for more and we certainly weren’t expecting it to be as amazing as it was! We only wished we stayed longer! Thank you so much Sue and Dave for a FANTASTIC night away in Lake Tekapo.

Hello Anita and thank you for your wonderful review. It is nice to hear that your expectations were exceeded. We would love to have you back staying with us in the future. Take care.

Grand Suites is the best hotel of our New Zealand trip. My partner and I really loved this hotel. The owner is a very friendly person. The hotel’s design is modern, fitting our aesthetic, and the beds are comfortable. It is very close to the Church of the Good Shepherd and the town. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night. Next time we visit Tekapo, we will definitely stay at this hotel again. Highly recommended for tourists.

Superb review, thank you Linkaidong for this. Take care and safe travels.

Lovely room. All was perfect. But we did wish the fireplace was real. May we also suggest your own hot tub/ spa? That would have been heavenly!

P.S. I left my ring behind (I received your note). Please hold on to it for me. I’ll be back to see your star-lit skies and more treks!

Thanks, Renu, for your lovely review. Agreed a few hot tubs around the complex would go well. It is in the long-term plan. Take care.

I have traveled a lot in business and for pleasure, and as an architect I found the suites provided were of a very high quailty. Not only spacious, but the details of what was provided were very helpful in making our stay comfortable. Traveling every day here in New Zealand you pretty much just live out of your suitcase, and I liked they had a platform to put the suitcases on, rather than just having them on the floor. There were plenty of plugs for charging electronics, and sufficient lighting at the bed for reading. The premises are finely detailed with quality furnishings, and I just can’t say more. Being that Lake Tekado has a population of 558, I expected much less. Thanks for the great stay.

Hi there Lance, thank you for your detailed review and very positive comments. We have now successfully built and operated many motel complexes and know exactly what people need and what works. Space is a big one, as well as using quality fittings inside each unit. Great feedback, thank you.

Very nice place, well located.. All the advice provided by Sue were very useful…and we were upgraded to a beautiful apartment, What else ! the bathroom was very luxurious with an awesome shower. The kitchen was well equiped but we didn’t use it. the only downside, but I’m a light sleeper…the noise of the lorries driving through the village at 3 in the morning… definitively a place to stay for few nights..

Thank you Jerome/Sandrine for your nice review. The noise issue we have mitigated as much as possible with double glazed laminate sound glass as well as 6-inch external walls containing noise reducing insulation. All the best and safe travels.

Grand Suites is lovely. Great location, decor, comfort with everything you need. Hosts are outstanding. So friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Loved the styling and the views. Easy access to town..very walkable. Looking forward to staying there again.

Thank you, Nancy, for your wonderful review. We would love to see you here again one day in the future. Take care.

I stayed here recently on a business trip and was so impressed. Sue and Dave are friendly and attentive hosts. The room we had was luxurious – everything was high quality from the appliances to the bathroom fittings. The views were incredible from our 2 bedroom apartment and the beds SUPER comfy. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

Great to hear from you Kerry. Thanks for the kind words and lovely review.

Great apartment but also a big disappointment. Definitely many more stars than three for the suite in terms of style, appointment and comfort. However, we were looking forward to sitting in the unit with a fabulous view of Lake Tekapo. Our two bedroom second floor unit was at the far end of the complex and the view was nothing like any of the internet photos. Call me fussy if you like, but I thought I was paying for a decent lake view to enjoy and not simply a water glimpse (albeit with some mountains). Make sure to request a decent view! The client views are those lucky enough to have had a “wow” view. Our reality, for the same price, was disappointing.

Hi Julian, thanks for your review. You are being a little presumptuous with your comments here. The few units we have with absolute lake views do come at a higher cost than our standard studios. All of our units see the lake and your two-bedroom unit is massive being 85m2 plus a terrace of 15m2. Furthermore, you do have the ability to appreciate the lake views from our Reception, particularly the view from the upstairs mezzanine floor as you read or browse the internet to possibly write lovely reviews. Safe travels.

I stayed here last minute after the original hotel I had booked in the area was less than satisfactory. I had a warm welcome which cheered me right up and the room was so luxurious and well appointed that my only regret was not booking here in the first place. Stay here – treat yourself to a stay in this gorgeous accommodation with spectacular views!

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your lovely kind words. Safe travels.
