The location is excellent as it's just by the lake. The rooms is cosy and beds are fine. The staffs are friendly and check in is easy. I'd say it's an excellent choice for a stay! They have tables and chairs outside the cabin so you can enjoy the view. There are other amenities which we did not explore.
Nothing.

The main house is so convenient to stay with its cleanliness + utensils that we can use + great view + nearby shops. Staff were very accomodationg and friendly as well. Were actually planning to return to this hotel maybe next year and stay longer than 3 days.
Our house was situated a bit far from the reception desk to wifi and even our own mobile datas are not working much (there are some "dead spots" of internet around the house).. however, staff told us that they are aware on this issue and currently upgrading their system (by the looks of it, i think there expanding their lot as well).

We originally booked the Large Cabin with Shared Facilities but later upgraded to the Family Room with Lake View — and it was definitely worth it! The upgraded room was spacious, well-equipped, and allowed everyone in our group to rest comfortably while enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings of Lake Tekapo. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful during the upgrade process, even though we had already checked into the original room.
The original cabin we booked was quite small and not ideal for a whole family. It felt a bit cramped, and the shared facilities were located a bit far from the cabin, which made it slightly inconvenient, especially at night or in colder weather.

We were lucky enough to have spent 4 nights here. I have stayed here before and it was just like I remember... amazing. The staff, the facilities, the 'location'. The location right on the lake with morning sunrises and picture perfect sunsets was so special. The first night we were lucky enough to have shared one of the best sunsets I've ever seen with the other people staying here at Lakes Edge and it was so incredibly special. The mornings having breakie on the verandah with the ducks, birdies, and rabbits was super cool, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. We choice an ensuite room overlooking the lake. We were lucky to have visited during Lupin season where they were all out in bloom and covering the entire park. Very very beautiful and will definitely always come and stay here again and recommend to everyone who want to visit. The shared kitchens were super clean too which was a bonus. One of the best places I've stayed :))
Some of the pots and pans need upgrading and the kitchen knives in the room need sharpening as they were blunt and we couldn't chop anything properly... definitely not easy chopping up raw chicken, or carrots with a blunt knife 😂 Other than this I can't fault anything. We had a great time nonetheless.

We had our own little cabin that overlooked the lake , we had a great view , however, the row of cabins in front of us had an unobstructed view. Some cabins were behind some trees so they couldn't see the lake . The location is great , close to walk into town. We did the hike that was super close to the cabin and it was great , also went to the hot springs just a short walk away . The best thing we did was took a plane ride over to the glaciers and over Lake Tekapo, it was worth the money , do it ! Just walk into town and you will see the store front for scenic helicopter and small plane rides , it was fantastic !
The room was hot during the day ( we were gone most of it ) no air conditioning . they provide a fan , but no screen door on the slider . it did cool off nicely at night . Staff were not particularly friendly , not rude , just matter of fact here's your stuff , not much communication.

1. Good location. My room overlooking the lake. Stone throw walking distance to the lake. 2. I thought it’s a good idea to congregate the cooking and laundry facilities at the premises. 3. Beautiful garden with lupin flowers. 4. Can see the stars at night.
1. Toilet basin super small. No place to put toiletries. 2. Can add a hanging rack in the bathroom. 3. Would be good to include a scissor for kitchen utensils. 4. Can consider to include a netting over the main door to keep out the insects while we keep the door open for ventilation.

Location was unbelievable. We were in a ensuite cabin directly opening onto beautiful views of the lake and snow capped mountains. Picnic table right outside the room to enjoy outdoor views. The room was clean, kitchenet had all useful items for comfy stay. We could park just outside the cabin, very easy access. Will definitely recommend this place.
Bathroom had shower curtains, would have preferred closed in shower to prevent water spilling all over the bathroom. But everything else was so good this is a minor complaint!

We spent 500 dollar for 1 night in a cozy, lake-view chalet, perching beside "Lakes Edge". It was so lovely. We got private bedrooms, a huge and bright independent bathroom, a kitchen with full set-ups, and a table for the family to have the meal, while appreciating the stunning lakeside evening. Full pressured hot water geysered out from the sprinkler head, shampoo and body wash, cutleries, pots, even condiments... all provided. Anyway, the experience I bought was much more than 500 hundred dollars. Compared to the other hotels and their facilities, it is a fair price and I will suggest it for a family trip.

You can not fault the view you get in any weather or spot in this place. There were unfortunately many upgrades happening during our visit including the kids play area which was just across from our room, this was unfortunate but once they are done it will only make this place even more amazing for the kids too. There was no shortage of heating in this place either.
This was the most expensive stay of our trip and it was unfortunate that there was no playarea available.

We stayed whilst making our way from Christchurch to Queenstown. Was nice for a one night stop over l to see the Milky Way. The lodge was roughly a 17 minute walk from the main area, which we enjoyed. The room itself was clean and spacious. Nice to have tea making facilities in the room. The kitchen and bathrooms were very clean. Only downside was that the wifi didn’t work until the following morning.
