Friendly staff. Right from booking to check out, all communication with the hotel management was easy to understand and follow. While there is no physical reception office, the hotel manager is just a call away. She is courteous and prompt with her communication. I was checking in after hours, and all instructions were provided upfront.  I travelled in winter, so staff were kind enough to have the room warm, and it just made a world of difference.  Rooms are modern, large with a kitchen on entrance. It was v clean and tidy. The kitchen had two gas burners, equipped with the usual cutlery, pots, pans , knife set, bar fridge, kettle and a toaster. Kitchen has a large basin to wash those large pans with convenience. Lots of plug points to charge all your gadgets. The room also has a large comfy bed and a large tv.  The ensuite is also modern with heated towel rack. Each room has its own gas water heating system which provides such nice constant hot water and the amazing water pressure made showers enjoyable in Lake Tekapo's negative temperatures.  The split aircon in the room is also a modern Mitsubishi one. For convenience a sofa, round table with two chairs has also been provided.  All in all, it was a very enjoyable stay and after a full day of hiking, I used to look forward to return back to my room to relax, unwind and re-energise for another day of adventure. I stayed here for 3 nights. Car parking is available next to the block of units/rooms and if thats occupied there's ample available on the street.  The main street, Rapuwai Lane, with all the restaurants/shops, Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo are less than 5 mins away by car.  If you are visiting Lake Tekapo, I highly recommend booking your stay at the Skyrim Lodge. You will not regret it.

A very new, modern studio apartment with everything we needed. The check in via door code was super easy. We had to postpone our stay by 1 day and this was possible at no extra charge (thank you very much). The shower was great, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner and make a nice breakfast. We had a view to the mountains (though past some cars and other houses). There is a huge TV in opposite the bed. It was quiet and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

While everything in the apartment was new, the quality of table, chairs, kitchen, bathroom appliances is not very high quality. I fear that it will not last very long. The apartment is in a newly build area above town. A short drive into town, not so convenient for walking.

It was a great king studio room for the night (It’s not a one-bedroom apartment as I initially thought based on the title—I assumed there would be a separate room. I think a King Studio would be a much better title). But overall the place is clean, has wall mounted good size TV and netflix, electric blanket which is great as really cold, good size wardrobe cupboard, good heatpump, and parking (being in 15-A) awesome access to room! suggestion maybe wall size mirror, small rice cooker if needed and flannel, not sure if there is one, but importantly perhaps a sensor light outside could be installed to illuminate the whole driveway/parking when someone arrives, at night, it was very dark when we arrived—I had to find my flashlight just to see where I was going. but will come back to the place.

It's a complete little unit just up the road from the center of 'town'. It has everything -- a little kitchen stocked with essentials, clean and fully functional bathroom, sliding door, little sofa, streaming services. Just a great cozy little place. No contact with humans at all -- there's a keycode for the door, and everything is handled by a staff with a little van who comes to take care of all these little holiday houses. Honestly, it works well. The location overall is great -- gorgeous lake, mountains, hiking, and this is a perfect base for exploring.

Slightly awkward for all the guests to park their cars in the little space, but it's really not a big deal.

The location is quite good, very close to the town. The whole place is very clean and well equipped as describe.

Lovely unit, new and clean. Nice eco-store shower gel and shampoo in bathroom. Heat pump was turned on in the room when we arrived which was great as it was so cold and had been snowing. Easy keyless entry with a code.

It was quite expensive for what it is, quite basic. As quite expensive I would have thought that beds would have electric blankets as it gets very cold in Tekapo. Because of the price I thought that there would be a better selection of tea and coffee, a coffee plunger and plunger coffee or a Nespresso maker is the usual in a unit this price and a biscuit is always a nice touch.

The studio was new and very clean. It was one of the smaller ones we have stayed in while in NZ and one of the most expensive. But then the area seemed to be expensive in general. It was quiet at night and the beds were comfortable. We asked and were allowed to leave our luggage in the studio about 1 hour before the normal check-in time.

My husband felt that the property should have provided better coffee - at least plunger coffee instead of just instant. They also said you could get clean towels, but implied that you had to be there between 9 and 9:30am to do so. This was not a problem for us as we were only there for 2 nights, but for a longer stay, there should have been another option as most people are out and about during the mornings. We traveled to Lake Tekapo on the bus and walked to Skyrim Lodge from the bus stop. It is almost 2km, and uphill on the first part, so having a car would be better if you want to stay here.

Very clean and well presented little room. It was easy to check in with details received by email on the day we arrived. There was a well set up kitchen area. The bathroom was small but had a heater, heated towel rack and a lovely shower. The table was squashed in the corner and was very small. The heating was excellent.

The beds were very hard which may suit others but I like a soft bed. It had an electric blanket and a thick, heavy duvet which kept us warm but felt too heavy. It was a lovely room with everything we needed provided but we felt it was a bit small and compact. It would be perfect for one person. The TV wouldn’t work which we reported.

The apartment was extremely clean on arrival. Fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook a meal. Kitchen/bathroom facilities were modern and very nice. Shampoo/body wash/hand soap provided + heated towel rail was a nice touch. Apartment was very cosy with a heater plus electric blankets to make sure we stayed warm with all the snow around town. Staff were super friendly came to check if we needed anything which we appreciated. Short drive to town/the lake, in a great spot among other holiday apartments. Lots of windows to appreciate the view of the mountains.

We loved everything about our stay, the fact it was a little bit out of town was fine and made it more special when we stepped out at night and could see the molky way! The bed was very comfortable, the sofa was a bonus, the heated light in the bathroom was a nice surprise and very appreciated and it was sooo quiet, which is bliss when travelling as you never know what to expect. The staff were nice and replenished everything that we asked for. Would recommend to anyone!

The icing on the cake would be later check out - 10am is so early!
