I had a comfortable stay. They upgraded my room to a kitchenette for free. The room and bathroom were warm. There was an electric blanket on the bed so I had a good night's sleep. It was so comfortable that I extended my stay.

Starry Vista-Beta, hotel in Lake Tekapo

Starry Vista-Beta offers accommodations in Lake Tekapo, 28 miles from Mt. Dobson. This homestay provides free private parking and free Wifi.

The view is spectacular and makes Starry Vista such an excellent place to stay. It was also clean and comfortable with an excellent bed and pillows. The location is a quick drive to town and is much quieter than in the township. Being up on a slight hill makes the vista even better. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The view was fantastic, both during the day and the sky at night, once the clouds cleared. The bed was very comfy and the shower was hot, but it took a while to get hot water through. Instructions to get the key were very clear.

    Very beautiful and stylish layout, especially the dining area. The host family must be real artists! Really like their taste of the beddings. And the room is so warm that we were sweating at night!

    This B & B is in a private home, not all that easy to locate, and there is no personal contact with the owner as all your instructions to enter etc were by text. It was beautifully presented and gave us a comfortable night

    Everything. Great hosts, great location, the country feel right in the centre of Tekapo was awesome. Loved feeding the animal’s especially because our Aussie friends had never seen a sheep let alone fed one. Cottage was gorgeous. Such a lovely vibe after staying in new city apartments that are all the same.

    The beds were super comfortable and private with curtains, light and a plug. There was a button to switch the heating on if needed and plenty of locker space. The views from the kitchen/lounge were breathtaking. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. It’s a lovely hostel and I wish I’d stayed longer.
