"Generally well located. Never got communication about check in, which would have been very inconvenient if I didn’t have an active mobile number to call to get instructions.
Room was large, but noting fancy. The view was of the neighbouring empty lot, with old mattresses piled up.
Did the trick, but probably wouldn’t stay again."
"Great stay in a nice, comfortable, and warm. apartment. Only issue was the check-in where previously emailed access information was not received. Once I'd added credit to my NZ number and called the hotel they were texted through. "
"The studio was fantastic with a huge flat screen tv and a host of futuristic features and appliances.
Only bad point was a shocking uncomfortable matter, we neam a really uncomfortable bed.
Really spoilt our night and our sleep."

"We had a wonderful stay at Skyrim Lodge in Lake Tekapo. The keyless check-in process was seamless, which made getting in and settling down a breeze. Our two-bedroom unit was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable. We were completely captivated by the view—the dazzling, snow-capped mountains were a sight to behold. A truly fantastic place for a getaway."

"What an absolutely fabulous, beautiful place!!! We stayed in a 3 bedroom family lodge, it was just unbelievable. Felt so luxurious and absolutely all details were perfect, for example lovely quality toiletries. So spacious, we were 3 adults and 2 children. Immaculate stay! Washing machine and dryer in the garage were super convenient. Fully kitted kitchen. Would highly recommend. "
