Thank you, Ron, for your lovely review. It was a pleasure having you both staying with us. We would love to see you again one day in the future.
Amazing stay!
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 🥰

Thank you Cindy for this review. So nice to hear back from you. Take care and all the best.
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.

Nice to hear Joanna, you were lucky to come here when you did….the views would have been fantastic. Thanks for your review.
Home away from Home
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.

Fantastic Stay Near the Lake with Outstanding Service
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!
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
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.
Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo
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!
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!
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!

Thanks Joy for your kind review. We hope the family event went well. All the best.
First class location, superior service
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.
Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo
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
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.
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
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
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.
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 !
We stayed two nights st Grand Suites and it was absolutely sublime! The rooms are stunning, the views are incredible and we were so well looked after by our hosts. We wanted for nothing..

Response from Grand Suites Lake Tekapo

Sam P03/09/2024 Modern and Elegant Accommodation with Excellent Customer Service We cannot recommend the Grand Suites Lake Tekapo enough. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and looked after by friendly and accomodating staff. The customer service was second to none and the accommodation is modern and elegant. We highly recommend and will be back to visit again. Thank you! Urs-Beat H15/08/2024 Super nice, very tastefully decorated, spacious rooms We are usually more in top hotels but chose this Motel in Lake Tekapo and were more than positively surprised. The rooms are very spacious, very tasteful and have super good beds. We felt very comfortable and would have loved to stay a little longer. Good restaurants, whether for breakfast or dinner are in the immediate vicinity, in a few minutes walk you are there. And then the view, of the lake and the mountains, just a dream. For the rental car it has enough space, right in front of the hotel. We highly recommend the Grand Suites. Orserio10/08/2024 Top notch hotel experience What a treat! The hotel fully deserves its unblemished 5-star rating. Prime location in Tekapo (right across from the church and the lake), with extremely modern amenities, the views to die for, and stargazing that's out of this world, all right on the front doorstep. Super helpful and knowledgeable reception/owner. Heated floors and towel rails in a very clean and spacious bathroom. Huge rooms, made even bigger by the second-floor balconies (elevator available). Easy parking. Every detail is carefully considered; every need taken care of. There is even a very handy and clean shared laundrette with two washers and two dryers (coins available from the hotel front desk); with drying racks, baskets, and ironing boards that could be borrowed. The well-furnished kitchenette helps, since there aren't many great dining options in town. One minor word of caution to the clumsy: the energy-saving switch for the fridge is right next to the kitchen light switch, so fumbling around in the dark after our star-gazing walk, we accidentally managed to shut off the fridge overnight and had to throw away our food. Only ourselves to blame, but we saw that same switch taped over/permanently disabled in other hotels, to help prevent prevent the likes of us from messing up :) Pathfinder7900105/08/2024 Perfect stay in Lake Tekapo! This is the perfect property for anyone wanting to stay in Lake Tekapo, from it's location to the modern, clean apartment and comfortable beds. Not to mention the heated floor in the bathroom! We were on a 2 week road trip around the south island in New Zealand and this property was by far the best place we stayed at, we regretted only booking one night. The owners were so lovely and when my husband left his jumper behind they immediately contacted us and then mailed it to us in Wanaka- so thoughtful! We highly recommend this property and if we return to Lake Tekapo, will definitely be staying here. Happiness6436456438502/08/2024 It's so beautiful 房间设施齐全,适合家庭入住,还能自己动手烹饪,阳台上就能观看湖景,出门也方便,特卡波湖清澈见底,下雪的季节很迷人 JP2E22/07/2024 Fantastic Stay Fantastic experience, clean, modern, friendly and helpful staff. The best accommodation for our family during our month-long trip through New Zealand. The small touches and amazing craftmanship is evident throughout the room. Our favorite was the heated floors and wood floors! We highly recommend this hotel. Virna S14/07/2024 Excellent accommodation and location! Grand Suites are stylish and well-appointed. The thoughtfulness and detail in the suite we stayed in is top class. The spa bath and shower were fabulous. The bed, bedding, and pillows were fantastic. The views were next level. Sue was very welcoming and friendly. Mandy T13/07/2024 A nice overnight stay New facility, very clean and comfortable. Parking lot is right next to the units, very convenient to unload like a Motel yet the facilities quality like a Hotel. The check in /reception area is large but kind of empty. Not all units have great lake view like the advertisement. zedelfor16/06/2024 Beautiful Place To Stay What a wonderful place to stay for our 42nd wedding anniversary. Beautifully appointed, comfortable and warm despite our mid-winter visit. Beautiful scenery over Lake Tekapo and just a couple of minutes walk into town. Just a couple of minutes walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd too. Sandra P15/06/2024 Tekapo Comfort Grand Suites at Lake Tekapo is a great location. Walking distance to main street and attractions. Lovely walk around the lake. Hosts were very helpful with great recommendations. Unit is very new and well appointed with a great view of the lake.
