We had a great experience here - the room was spacious and well equipped with incredible views of Lake Tekapo. The skylight provided a really unique and cool view of the stars at night. The hotel is in a hill above Tekapo but is an easy walk or drive into the main town.
Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice! Would recommend and stay here again.

Galaxy Boutique Hotel is an excellent choice when staying in Lake Tekapo. The only thing that beats the views, is friendly, and helpful staff. Don’t make the same mistake we did and book multiple nights if you can!

The Galaxy Boutique Hotel at Lake Tekapo is an excellent choice for a stay. Perched on a hill, it offers stunning lake views and is just a few minutes’ walk from the town center. The facilities are modern and impeccably clean, and the breakfast is delicious and satisfying

Very Basic Hotel
Very basic hotel. In Usa would be more of a Motel. It is walking distance to the little town. Online it seems like its way nicer than it is. Convenient and clean are the big draw
