Nice and close to Fairlie township. Walkable to restaurants, coffee and, of course, the pies. Little bit of road noise (it’s approx 40m from main road to Tekapo). Very nice arriving after hours with keys in the door and unit warmed up by a heater😀 Just all too easy!

This motel suited my needs well. After hiking at Mt Cook I needed a quiet place to get a good sleep and I found it here. The small town is full of friendly folk as well.

I only gave 4 stars for staff because I didn’t see anyone. The system seems to be a contactless checkin/checkout but it worked. The property was clean and had everything I needed plus little extras. Only stopped by as a break in a long journey but it was a very nice stay.

I was really impressed with the attention to detail. The room was beautifully presented and Erin (the owner) has obviously poured a lot of love into this place. Bravo. I stayed at the motel as a convenient/cost effective alternative to higher price Lake Tekapo accom and was pleased with my choice. Would stay again when visiting Tekapo.

Great stopover location!

Clean and convenient place to stay with all the amenities. Couldn't be happier with the place. Also...easiest check in and check out ever! Found the key in the door and left the key in the door. Doesn't get easier than that!

Great retro motel, clean as a whistle, good sized room, parking at door. Our key was in the door on arrival. Five minutes walk into town. Dinning options are very basic on a Monday night. We would have been better off cooking in the units kitchen. Overall a great night.
