In the middle of a short but sharp cold snap that bought snow to tekapo after weeks of heat and wind I really could not recommend a better place to be ‘stuck inside’ out of the cold and wind. The ever changing landscape framed by picture perfect ceiling to floor glass - you can spend hours with a book and THAT VIEW. The staff were more than attentive, beautifully polite and just a pleasure to be in the company of. Highly recommend pre booking the chefs choice dinner, it was a fabulous mix of local flavours all married up in perfect harmony and plated beautifully and a vast and great beverage menu to accompany the most romantic and scenic dinner I have had in a very long time . The bed was incredibly comfortable ( this is RARE I find!!) Oh and of course, Mittens- the lodge cat, who is not allowed in as to not bother guests with allergies is a beautiful wee snuggler who likes to hang with you provided you play ‘chase the stick’ made this cat lover a happy lady. Will most definitely return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
