The location was convenient to town and walks, the view from our bedroom window was postcard perfect, as we were on the second floor there was a skylight above our bed to see the stars at night, with a motorised screen for while you slept. Very comfortable king size bed. The breakfast was excellent plenty of choices and you could either have room service or go to the small dining room if you wished.

One very small thing I’ve noticed while travelling around NZ a lot of places provide shampoo but not conditioner I find that strange when your providing toiletries but just worth mentioning for other travelers trying to travel light.

Lovely place in Tekapo. The second time we chose to stay there. First time with the skylight and second time with my parents in one of the apartments with fully equipped kitchen. We loved everything about it! Breakfast was amazing, and the service is exceptional. They are so nice that they even posted me a shampoo I left in the bathroom, and were so lovely. I couldn't recommend this place enough, and I want to come here every time I come to Tekapo. Thanks guys! You exceed all the expectations! beyond amazing!

nothing. Everything was so perfect!

Location of the hotel was excellent, as it is a short 1min away from the main city area, so it’s quiet and dark enough at night that we were able to view the night stars from our room. The hotel room is spacious and bed is comfortable. Breakfast consisted of free flow cooked hot breakfast (items on the menu for your choosing). Dining room is slightly small, so you may need to wait for a table at times. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Shower hot water supply was great, but the pressure of the shower can be improved.

The location of the hotel was good with beautiful views across the lake. It looked like a newish property with clean and comfortable rooms - which were somewhat characterless and unremarkable, but did the job. We stayed there one night and have no complaints. The skylight above the bed was a nice touch.

The room had the basic amenities - but for the price we were paying, and relatively to similarly priced properties that we stayed in across New Zealand - we felt that that it was a bit basic. We payed almost the same (in fact less) for a room at the George in Christchurch using Booking.com as we did for the Galaxy boutique hotel and the experiences between the two is incomparable. The Galaxy is functional and perfectly ok for a one night stopover stay. But we did think it was overpriced.

Property is in a very good location, around a nice 10 min walk into the town area/ the famous church. Lovely view from the room out on to the lake and if you’re lucky enough to be on the 2nd floor there is a skylight where you can view the stars. A nice touch. Breakfast also good. You order what you want so little wastage, which is a good idea. The staff are also very friendly. The receptionist on duty when we arrived was very helpful with some tips on where to walk etc.

Nothing not to like

The hotel is quite new and has a clean, modern appearance with a good view of Lake Tekapo. The rooms are comfortable and they offer a simple breakfast in your own room which is convenient. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The cost of the stay was expensive and I cannot say we got value for money. (compared with many other places we stayed on our holiday) In addition, our room was on the lower floor and did not have the skylight or bathroom window as mentioned by others.

The property was two storey, however there were outside ramps between floors to pull your suitcases up. 😀 It was located amongst housing but close enough to walk to shops etc. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We were on the second storey which had magnificent views over the lake. We ordered breakfast in our rooms which meant we could sit at our well positioned table in the room and look out over the lake. Similarly we could have an evening drink and see the great sunsets. It was very clean and the rooms were warm and sound proofed.

Nothing

It is actually located right next to the town center. We could walk to the supermarket and all other eating outlets. Car park was right Infront of our door. Very convenient. Breakfast was included which is nice. Save us the trouble of looking for food and coffee in the chilly mornings. What's more! The staff brought our breakfast to our apartment. We could eat leisurely in the warmth of our room and watch the sunrise over the lake. It's amazing!!!

It would be nice if there was a washer in the apartment.

Amazing views, beautiful room with all the amenities. I loved the fact that they provided a robe and slippers. I also loved the products they had in the shower, such good quality. These just add that extra touch and really goes a long way

1 thing I would recommend though is having a bigger breakfast area. As some mornings it was full and hard to get a table. I also would love to be able to have dinner there. I think it would do so well, as there’s not so much in town in terms of options.

Property was super clean and the facilities were perfect. Bathroom was awesome! Ceiling shutter for in room stargazing was next level! Even though it was a super cool night on our stay the rooms temperature was warm. Breakfast in the morning was great too! All the staff that were working during our stay were very kind and attentive. We didn’t get a perfectly clear night for stargazing, but it was still amazing. Lake tekapo is clearly the place for it, and galaxy boutique hotel is definitely the place to stay!
