The moment we walked in the door we knew we had made the right choice!

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!

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.

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.

I have just enjoyed another stay at Grand Suites Tekapo and it has once again exceeded my expectations. Incredible room – so luxurious, friendly service, amazing views… I can’t wait to stay here again soon!

The setting is fantastic the rooms are fitted out like a 5-star hotel only you also get space and a well-equipped kitchen. (also very clean). Service was remarkable and the staff are super helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are staying in the area.

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!

First class accommodation, well done,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.. We loved it so much. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.. The rooms are so beautifully decorated and comfortable. Loved it. Hope to go back one day soon.

We stayed at the Grand Suites this week. The facilities and room we stayed in were superb. Spacious, clean and very warm with a great view.

The location is is very convenient, with the historical church, shops and restaurants an easy walk. Look forward to staying there again.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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..
