Excellent accommodation

My sister and I stayed for two nights, and enjoyed our stay greatly! Clean, quiet, tidy and splendid accommodation. Already looking forward for my next stay in Lake Tekapo Quality Accommodation Grand Suites. Thanks Team!

Amazing stay!

October 1, 2025

Our suite was TRULY Grand! Luxurious, clean, comfy bed, modern amenities with everything we needed. Close to beautiful walking paths by the shore of Lake Tekapo which is the most gorgeous color of blue! Restaurants & a bit of shopping within short walking distance. Would stay again💕Dave was very kind & helpful 🥰

very comfortable and cosy

We visited Tekapo just after the recent heavy snowfall. Although we had a bit of difficulty finding the complex due to the snow, once we got there we were very happy. Our apartment had a great view to the lake, it was spacious and warm. The owners were really friendly and helpful.

Our family stayed at Grand Suites during our holiday in June 2025 and it was the best choice we made. It was clean, comfy and made us feel at home the moment we stepped in. We loved it ! Highly recommend staying here in your next visit to Lake Tekapo !

Absolutely fantastic experience! Dave at Grand Suites Lake Tekapo is a truly exceptional host. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The suite was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, offering stunning views of Lake Tekapo. Dave provided great local tips and was always available to answer any questions. His warm hospitality and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable. I highly recommend Grand Suites Lake Tekapo and especially Dave as a host – a five-star experience all around! 🫶🫶

Fantastic Stay Near the Lake with Outstanding Service

April 28, 2025

Great location, very close to the lake — perfect after stargazing with no need to worry about a long trip back. The facilities are new and in excellent condition. The staff were exceptionally friendly. A special thanks to Justina, who provided great assistance in arranging everything I needed — she truly deserves a shout-out!

Yongjie

Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo

Hi there Yongjie, thanks for your review. Yes, Justina is great, isn’t she? Take care and safe travels.

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful setting

April 17, 2025

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo are very comfortable well maintained and serviced units. The unit was spotlessly clean and presented with great facilities and comfortable bed. The view from our unit was amazing looking out across Lake Tekapo and Mount John, beautiful.

Nice to hear from you Keith. A kind review and well thought. Hope you had a wonderful time in Lake Tekapo. All the best.

Beautiful and spacious apartments!

April 17, 2025

We loved our time at Grand Suites Lake Tekapo. Lake Tekapo is such a beautiful and peaceful area. It is a very small town, but we loved our dinner at the Japanese restaurant and loved being able to walk there as well as the lake. The room was incredible, we loved the size and the kitchen with all the supplies. The check in was easy and the front desk receptionist was so kind and nice, she even sent our kids with a bottle of milk which was such a fun touch.

Thanks, Tim, for your kind words, Great to have you staying with us, all the best and safe travels.

Amazing stay, even better than expected!

January 10, 2025

In addition to the amazing location (short walk to lake front, footbridge and church), the suite felt like a high-end home, with many small touches to make your stay relaxing and luxurious. The suite was very well-equipped. New construction, high-end appliances, tasteful furniture/ rugs/ decor, the whirlpool tub, multiple types of gourmet coffee, fresh milk at check-in were all appreciated. Although not directly on the lake, the view could not be beat. Our brief interactions with both the hosts at check-in and check-out were very pleasant. I wish there were more places to stay like Grand Suites in other parts of the world!

A streamlined, and efficient service – from enquiring about accommodation, to booking, through to check-in. The rooms were well furnished, and well serviced. Staff members encountered were friendly, informative and helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable stay – looking forward to returning.

Great to hear from you Geoffrey, yes it would be great to have you back with us one day. Take care.

Great location and friendly hosts

October 30, 2024

Clean, comfortable, great views and friendly, accommodating hosts. The location was great when the weather cleared in the morning and we were able to enjoy an early morning visit to the lake and Church of the Good Shepherd. We will hopefully visit again in better weather for stargazing. Many thanks.

M Rendulic

Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo

Thank you for your nice review, sorry to hear that the weather was not that great. Yes do come again, many thanks and all the best.

Great location and accommodation

October 15, 2024

Stayed for two nights, two couples, so we had a two bedroom unit. Check in was easy, payment was simple to split between the couples, and the unit was clean and well appointed for our needs. Great view out across the lake and all within 5 mins walking to the shops and church. If we get to Tekapo again we would stay here.

Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo

Great to hear back from you Ivor. Yes please do call back again if you are able. All the best and safe travels.

Beautiful rooms

October 7, 2024

Overall the stay was great. Your suites are not only beautiful but very luxurious and well appointed. The only issue we had was the lack of communication regarding a planned power outage in which you decided not to use your back-up generator. This meant a sleepless night from 1am-5am as my wife’;s c-pap machine (which helps her breathing) was not able to function.

Thomas Olenik

Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty and luxury of our suites. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the power outage and the impact it had on your wife’s CPAP machine. We strive to ensure our guests have a comfortable experience, and I regret that we fell short in this instance. Your comments will help us improve our communication in the future. We hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!

Breathtakingly beautiful !
