Beautiful location with a wonderful view of the lake. Amazing breakfast brought to the room as a part of the standard reservation. Our favorite hotel during our week and a half visit to New Zealand!
We loved it here. The room with the skylight was amazing at night. The room was just lovely and the views were breathtaking. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this accommodation. The host was extremely helpful. The apartment had excellent quality furnishings and fittings. The view from our room was gorgeous. Honestly, it was perfect!!
Perfect location. Highly recommend the rooms with the sky view, even though it was really cloudy out the window we could see so many stars through the skylight which was really magical. Would love to have stayed for longer!
I night stay - amazing lake! Room was v comfortable, very helpful staff, breakfast in the room was a plus - lake views with bacon & eggs :-). Easy parking and short walk to town centre.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Unique and Memorable Stay
Galaxy Hotel is a truly unique and charming boutique property. The hotel is petite, cozy, and beautifully designed, creating a very special atmosphere. What made the stay unforgettable was the incredible roof window above the room. Being able to lie in bed and look directly at the night sky was magical.
Lake Tekapo is famous for its dark skies, and the rooftop window gave me a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the stars from the comfort of my room. The experience felt peaceful, intimate, and unlike any other hotel stay I’ve had. If you’re looking for something special and want to experience the beauty of the night sky, I highly recommend Galaxy Hotel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An enjoyable overnight stay- very comfortable bed with great sheets - liked the fact you could open the windows. No issues with the Wi-Fi and breakfast was good with several choices. Overall - very good.
Great location. There is a ramp or stairs to reception and rooms. Breakfast was good, we chose to have it delivered to the room and sit and eat while enjoying the view. Easy walk to shops/restaurants and the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Room was great for a family of 4, bathroom was roomy. We had the option of taking breakfast in room or going to the dining room. We even had a view of lake Tekapo. The property was just 2 minute drive to market, restaurants, cafe shop, lake front playground for kids and tour guide operators. Great spot, just a little pricey
Very comfortable rooms and beds. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast was really great and the staff were top-notch. We definitely recommend staying here!
