The view was great. Unfortunately, it was cloudy the day we went, so we couldn't see the stars, but we were happy to see Lake Tekapo and the beautiful mountains. It was great that two sides were made of glass, so you should definitely get a lake view. It would be a shame if you didn't get a lake view.

Room 503 with two twin beds was as a very small room. It was the size of a cruise ship cabin. The bathroom was good size. I Enjoyed the heated bathroom floor and heater in the bathroom. There’s a water kettle in the room.

Excellent service, especially from Sunita (I hope I recalled her name correctly—the Indian lady at the front desk). She organized transport to get us to our bus stop in heavy snowfall. Big thanks also to the lady (of Zimbabwean origin) who gave us a ride.
