We absolutely loved our stay, staff, room, cleanliness, view all outstanding. Would not look to stay anywhere else, the information centre a few minutes away was fascinating and the numerous trails mean you can park up and immerse yourself. Only improvements would be a pool, sauna and hot tubs etc. We will return!

Staff in front of house - in particular Gaiska (a trainee) was superb. Thank you Gaiska for bringing whatever we needed to our room. However food in restaurant for dinner was awful. This is what meant a 4 star over 5. Skip the buffet and have dinner in Tekapo. The cafe food is great if you can wait till 1030am. Views are out of this world from room. Definitely book premium room.

I booked a standard room w/ one King bed, which is the least expensive option. The room is super clean, but it is small. I have difficulty to open both of luggage at a time, and there's no desk nor table in my room. The bathroom is very roomy, In my case, it is too roomy, since it makes the rest of the living area pretty small. True, it is super clean and well maintained. To me, my 4 stars is mainly is the dinning situation. There are only 2 restaurants in this hotel. They only open one restaurant at a time. One only do buffet and the other one is a cafe + offer casual meal. For example, the cafe opens at 10AM. From 7-10AM, your only choice is their buffet. If you don't like buffet at that time, you need to drive 2 mins to their sister facility next to The Hermitage. In case you are booking their more upscale room + if you are a buffet person, The Hermitage should deserve a 5 stars from you. :-)
