Haka House Lake Tekapo
5.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (153)
"Our hotel had a spectacular view and the room was perfect for a one night stay…sadly we didn’t get much of a chance to enjoy it because after a great day at Mt. Cook (less than an hour up the road) we heard about some bad weather moving in during the night. Not wanting to get stuck with some road closures the next day (when we needed to be in Christchurch) we ended up checking out an hour after checking in. If not for the weather we would have enjoyed the view from our room when waking up the...

"A pleasant stay in a newly renovated old building. My one complaint would be the A/C in the room was programmed to turn off 70 minutes after you turn it on. Which meant I was waking up through the night overheating, as it was quite humid. If I tried to change the switch off timer it would just default back. "

"The location of the hotel, the accommodations themselves and the staff were beyond exemplary, but Hotels.com was deplorable in its functions or rather its inability to perform its obligation to its customers and the hotel itself. I was locked out because Hotels.com did not deliver. The message to hotel had sent me with special instructions being required for check-in after 9 PM when I contacted Hotels.com I wasted two hours on a chat with them while they’ve berated me for making the mistake...

"Great location and comfortable beds! The staff are super nice and helpful (booked through a third party and there were some discrepancies but Haka House resolved them separately with the third party). Enough showers/bathrooms so we never had to wait. Only complaint is that our room was next to the lounge and that door is closed in the evenings (propped open during the day), which meant whenever ppl came and went at night, it kept slamming due to the door mechanism. Just bring ear plugs and...

"Incredible location; about 30 min from Glenorchy but a small community in its own right, quaint, with spectacular lake views. The fact that they have a restaurant, cafe, hot tub, and outdoor activities available there/nearby makes it feel like a bit of a haven. Easy access to Routeburn Track and High Country Horses, along with several other tracks; plenty to do outdoors. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, simple (I was in the budget twin). They clearly care about eco-friendly habits and...
