Located on the Western shore of Lake Tekapo, Isolation Bay is a 5-bedroom house with stunning panoramic lake and mountain views. Guests can warm up by the cosy fireplace. Isolation Bay House is a 15-minute drive from Lake Tekapo and a 3-hour drive from Christchurch. This luxurious lakefront house features a fully equipped kitchen and indoor/outdoor dining. All rooms have lake and mountain views, 2 have an en suite bathroom, and 1 has a spa bath. There are also laundry facilities. Nearby activities include horse riding, fishing and hiking.
The lodge is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake and a short walk to town. The room was spacious and airy with large glass doors filling the room with light. There was space to sit outside to enjoy the view. The room was spotless and well equipped. There was a large bathroom. A suggestion would be to have bulk toiletries rather than the waste of little plastic bottles. Staff were friendly and helpful.
This is a cute little boutique hotel situated near to Lake Tekapo and 15 mins drive to Mount John. It is good location as it is very near to the city centre where many shops, restaurants and a big supermarket are located. The service of this hotel is tip top and they serve breakfast to your room on a daily basis so we can eat while enjoying the lake view . Breakfast is great as well and I would like to give special comment about this hotel staff (Yvonne) who is very helpful and friendly and made good recommendation where to visit around Lake Tekapo. The room although not too big but it has a starlight which we can gaze the stars from the bed, it is quite interesting (but the room has to be in complete darkness). It is also near to the Church of the good shepherd and the view is so spectacular sitting just beside the lake.

The house itself is very complete and new, but far from the lake, there is no lake view, and unfortunately, the day we went, it happened to catch up with the power outage in the town, there were no candles, and the emergency measures without lighting were a bit unacceptable!
We booked late, arrived even later but check in was so simple with a code for the digital door lock. A newly built residence, well appointed for families with 4 bedrooms, parking for 2 vehicles, very warm and cosy. Another plus, Two living areas so kids can settle and watch tv or play games in one whilst adults socialise in the main living area. Plenty of heating, plenty of blankets, no-one was cold. Highly recommend!
A nice place to stay. Had a lake view room with bath, which was great. Had stayed around ten year ago and it has recently been refurbished. Bed super comfy and warm. It has heating but no aircon, so would be very warm during January February unless there was a good breeze blowing. Isabella on reception went above and beyond in sorting out wifi issue that some of us guests were experiencing which turned out to be an update issue from their providers. Thanks for your calm manner and great attitude in ensuring we we were sorted out. Jacks cafe on premises is superb too. See separate review.
We are couple with a 5 year old girl. We paid SGD697.85 (Singapore dollar) for staying 2 nights in this “2 bedroom apartment” as stated.
3 points here to explain the terrible experience.
1. tv remote is not working. I don’t mind the owner making excuse like “ replied customer’s message within 20mins…..” but they actually took 29mins to reply (19:10 till 19:39). In fact, they didn’t manage to change the tv remote in the end. So I stayed 2 nights without using the TV!
2.there is no clear and obvious description that this “2 bedroom apartment” is actually an adjoining unit which means when u walked into the front door then there are 2 doors link to split parts of the apartment. The problem of adjoining units are thin walls are used to split the apartment into 2 small units. When u stay in this kind of apartment, u have to endure all kind of noises from whoever staying in neighboring rooms. We had 2 days enduring guesting from the other room shouting, slamming the door, kids screaming like crazy both early in the morning and afternoon!
3. When I reflect this bad experience with trip.com customer service, this hotel responded like they have no fault at all and played with words. This attitude makes us feel like being fooled. We paid money to expect to stay in an apartment with privacy and quiet environment but indeed we had such a bad experience!
In this market, if it’s an adjoining unit, they should not charge at the rate as if it’s an entire apartment.
I’m alright that they rejected to refund the extra amount they charged. Just have to reflect the facts in the review.
Thanks.
A very comfortable little villa, close to the supermarket. The staff has a very good service attitude and will come to replenish the necessary supplies in the morning.

Excellent
WwangCocoReal experience and real feedback. Write a few points for your friends’ reference:
We stayed for 2 days
Satisfied place
1. Very clean and hygienic
2. The newly built house has super new equipment, such as a large TV and a brand new air conditioner.
3. The owner of the house was considerate and gave us a big blanket, which is useful for watching the stars in the middle of the night.
4. The location is good, the starry sky is easy to see, and I even saw shooting stars🌠
Not satisfied with the place
1. The bed will squeak and make a loud noise when you turn over, disturbing your sleep.
2. Construction of a new house at the door will start at 8am in the morning
3. The sound insulation effect is not good. You can hear clearly when walking next door in the middle of the night.
玫玫萱The hotel sign is not obvious. You need to pay attention to it to find out. Uncle Maori called me by the name and checked in for me because I stayed two nights and upgraded my suite with living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms. Just leave the key on the door when you leave
The hotel is right next to the lake, with beautiful scenery and superb lake views, and the starry sky at night.
The car is parked in the hotel, free of charge throughout the day, 🈶️ 2 queen beds, bath products, hair dryer, kettle, microwave, stove, towels, slippers, no toothpaste and toothbrush. The New Zealand steak is good, and I cook it every night for dinner. There is free coffee and tea bags, and drinking coffee every day feels good.
Just walk past the Church of the Good Shepherd, just go out to the lake, and check the starry sky at the Church of the Good Shepherd at night. It ’s beautiful! It's not far to the shops and supermarkets by car, it should be 10 minutes on foot
The hotel does not include breakfast. I made sandwiches myself and checked out at 10 am

The Church of the Good Shepherd
TTom Harris_87located at lake tekapo, just a good looking small nice church. had a quick stop here. good to take a photo with the kid.
Tekapo Chinese Stargazing
MM26***88The sky is so beautiful! The first time I saw so many stars, if I want to take pictures on my mobile phone, bring a tripod to fix it. The narrator lady spoke very detailed, learned a lot of knowledge, praise and recommendation
Earth and Sky
广广州丁满The earth and sky of Lake Tikapo are extremely pure. The blue sky, snowy mountains, ice lakes and grass combine a super beautiful picture here, and the Good Shepherd Church is the best place to view. At night, the starry sky is equally magnificent, even if you don't participate in a professional viewing group, on a sunny day, the town can still see the starry sky with the naked eye. The street lights on the road are specially made and will not affect the shooting. Fortunately, I am lucky to stay at the best blue water resort in local conditions, with a beautiful lake view, but the summer sunshine in New Zealand is very long, and it is late to wait until it is dark.
