The room was very small for the price and the walls paper thin. The next door guest were playing their tv well passed the quiet time. I had to bang on the walls to try to get some sleep. No staff was there to keep them in line. Too expensive for what you get.

We are a family of 4 with 2 small kids and spent a very good time in an on-site room. Totally recommended and we would come back there. Unbeatable location. Meters away from dark sky project. You can stargaze from its backyard, too! Only 2 comments: some guests left food residual in the sink; maybe a major enforcement is necessary. The bunk bed ladder is squared and very uncomfortable. We would buy tshirts if they had the bending machine design. Thank you Haka House!

This property is very close to Lake Tekapo and there are plenty of public parking spaces. The hotel also has amazing public areas and you will definitely take a photo there. The only downside is that room is not very big but their bed is super big and convenient (bedside table has 4 outlets and 2 bed lamps!!!)

The staff works very hard to keep the property clean and running well. The shared kitchen is set up well and can hold a lot of people. The only downside was the uncomfortable mattress, which in my case, was a spring mattress rather than a foam.

Amazing view! Nice property with large kitchen and lounge area on the top. We had a room on the ground floor overlooking the lake. The paint on the heating panel on the ceiling was peeling and there was stain on the toilet seat. Shower hose was leaking but the team fixed it when we told them. Overall it was alright for a one night stay.
