Amazing stay at Skyrim. Quick 15 mins into the main restaurant area or a quick 5 min drive in. The lodge is brand new and very welled thought out. Great location and beautifully decorated. Communication with hotel made the checking process easy. Love the dark sky experience and glad we stayed at Skyrim since it was close by. Walking distance to lake Tekapo is also a huge highlight. Thxs Skyrim.

Lake Tekapo was great, and Skyrim was a great place to stay. Very bright and spacious. Parking was confusing (who is supposed to park where?) but adequate. The kitchen was big and useful, but we suggest adding some cutting boards, and maybe an oven. We bought frozen pizzas for our first meal, and we were disappointed that we couldn't cook them. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our apartment, and we miss it!

Basic housing in a fairly new property. It's prefab bulit, so it's not fancy. It's on the smallish side. It's in a new section of town. There is no view of the lake.

Misleading pictures on the listing and title

The listing is very misleading. The property name is “one bedroom suite” and the picture shows one bedroom and it also has full size kitchen and laundry. However it is actually a studio with a small kitchenette with no laundry. I’m really disappointed by the misinformation

A most helpful and accommodating manager. Beautifully clean and well appointed apartment - which had all that we needed. Queenstown is incredibly busy but very beautiful. Several choices for eating out and a good supermarket for cooking back at the Lodge.

Beautiful room, but no view

We were very impressed with the room and how nice it was but can't help but feel misled by the pictures in the original post. There are a lot of new developments in the area so the pictures shown on the listing are not the view you will get. I'm not sure if any of the rooms have that view. We booked this place solely on hoping for some mountain views, but instead we were looking at another unit. Also went out to look at the stars but all of the motion lights kept turning on so we had to walk quite a ways away from the property. Again this place could sell itself on how nice it is and we would stay again but I hope they can update the photos so no one else is surprised. Thanks for a great stay anyway.

This is a busy location with people arriving at all hours - the units themselves are efficient however there seems to be minimal sound proofing from people going about there activities - People smoking outside was so intense they mights as well have been in our room The use of lights outside during the night by the accomodation was frustrating when we had come to enjoy the night sky - perhaps with some vegetations established over time this may reduce it While the unit has all you need there needs to be some attention by the cleaning crew - pots need screws tightened on handles and the the shower trim inside and grout on tiles in shower were pourly managed by the cleaners the orange mould could be rubbed off with toilet paper and this whole base of the shower and panels were needing some attention - the wet floor drain also emits an odor. When you are in a small space it’s hard to get away from.

This incredible lodge blew our expectations. It was warm, comfortable, clean, new, well-appointed, and in a fantastic neighborhood. Checking in was a breeze (just key in a code) and the owners/managers were very responsive. It was a 1-minute drive to a strip of restaurants, shops, a grocery store, and Tekapo Springs Hot Pools. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and definitely stay here again.

Lovely wee gem in Tekapo

Even though it was a brief overnight stay with an early start in the morning I was very impressed with the property. There was just one wee housekeeping issue of finding a few hairs but apart from that the property is clean & the room was comfortable. Excellent location & quiet. Will use again as I often stop over in Tekapo. Thank you
