We had a great experience here - the room was spacious and well equipped with incredible views of Lake Tekapo. The skylight provided a really unique and cool view of the stars at night. The hotel is in a hill above Tekapo but is an easy walk or drive into the main town. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice! Would recommend and stay here again.

Galaxy Boutique Hotel is an excellent choice when staying in Lake Tekapo. The only thing that beats the views, is friendly, and helpful staff. Don’t make the same mistake we did and book multiple nights if you can!

Where should I start with - worst checkin experience, lies from front staff or rude behaviour from front staff lady while checking out Let’s start with check-in experience, out checin was delayed and we had to wait and the explanation was we requested king bed. It’s like we’re the only one who requested king bed in the history of this hotel. There was not even a single apology from the front staff lady I raised this issue with my booking partner Expedia to share the experience I had it with this worst customer experience Next day, while checking out front lady came to me and said you raised a complaint with Expedia regarding you check in experience and wanted to have a chat with the angry tone. In this whole conversation she never said please. This morning she changed her explanation of the late checkin, it was due to she was serving the other customers. Let me correct her we were there by 2:41 and rather then us getting checked in she was trying to serve other customers who came after us. Anyway, I tried to explain her my disappointment with the check-in experience but she was least interested to listen. After that, she throw the key on her desk in angry way and said all the best in the angry tone. My recommendation to her manager and hotel authority is to send her for some behaviour courses so she should know how to deal with the customer respectfully. I can also recommend some behavioural online courses to her if required Won’t recommend based on my experience

We liked the property, staff and service. But this is a Dark Sky community and we felt the strong outside lights shining up at the room from the property prevented viewing the southern night sky’s from our room. The outside lights need to be turned off.

Customer service is excellent. Rooms are clean and unit is big. It comes with simple free breakfast which we really appreciate the kind gesture. We had the lower deck 2 bedroom so could not have a ceiling view of the stars. My girls were a little disappointed but we can make do with it. I would recommend it to people whom can appreciate a small boutique hotel setup, and not have high expectations.

The Galaxy Boutique Hotel at Lake Tekapo is an excellent choice for a stay. Perched on a hill, it offers stunning lake views and is just a few minutes’ walk from the town center. The facilities are modern and impeccably clean, and the breakfast is delicious and satisfying

Nice new hotel with really good breakfast. The only negative was that we were on the ground floor so people are walking past us all the time. Couldn’t have the window open due to this. If you stay I would recommend an upstairs room instead.

Check in was breezy, when I told the girl on reception I'd be leaving early morning and would miss breakfast she offered me a continental breakfast that I could keep in my room and eat when I wanted. She brought this up to my room an hour or so after check in. I loved the bathroom, it's beautiful and luxurious with thoughtful features. The hairdryer was excellent! Most of all I loved the views out to the lake and mountains, and the skylight for watching the stars. I walked into town (5mins) to grab some takeaway dinner and then just sat in the window watching the changing landscape until the sun set. The room was very quiet and warm and I had an amazing sleep, waking periodically and gazing at the stars. It was the most expensive stay of my trip but I think worth it for the views, location and comfort!

Lovely property. Skylights great and gorgeous rooms and bathroom. Only issue we had was the lighting outside the hotel is very bright. Some of the brightest lights around which, when staying in a dark sky area specifically to see stars, were emitting a very frustrating amount of light pollution!

Great view of the Lake Tekapo. During the night, for star gazing and even the moon over the lake was just magical. The hotel is obviously run by a group Asian who are always nice and respectful. While I myself is Asian, I do believe that the sensitivity of service and the breakfadt should be up near international customer service level.
