Amazing Views!
The room was beautiful and spacious! My favorite features were the huge window with a view of Lake Tekapo and the snow-capped mountains, and the skylight for the dark sky views. The bathroom had both a shower and a bathtub, and the towels were spa quality. The room included a prepared breakfast along with continental options. The only downside was that it was about a 15 minute walk along a fairly busy highway to any restaurants or shopping, which were sparse. But all in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Galaxy Boutique Hotel.

Loved it!
This place was amazing! We came here for our honeymoon and the staff really made us feel special. The view from the room was incredible and the skylight was a fun addition.

Little gem
Great stay, would highly recommend. Very modern and clean. Breakfast was included which you could enjoy in the main space or in your room enjoying the great views. Tip to ask for level 2 room as you wont have anyone walk past the front of your room and you also get a skylight above your bed to enjoy stargazing. 5 min walk into main street.

Very Basic Hotel
Very basic hotel. In Usa would be more of a Motel. It is walking distance to the little town. Online it seems like its way nicer than it is. Convenient and clean are the big draw

The room was not in a clean state at all. Dust on all over the skirtings and soap scum and mould in the bathroom shower area. When I told the staff member at reception at check out time . She advised they only clean these areas every 2 weeks. I showed her the photos I took and didn’t seem too fussed. Wouldn’t recommend to others or stay again. Definitely not value for money.

The room was comfortable with such nice view. However, we could not see any star at all from our sunroof, it is just so dark, the photo of sunroof is misleading.

Great scenic location with friendly service.
We booked this hotel because of its uniqueness of its description of having a sky window to view the stars from the bed. This didn't meet up with our expectations because the sky window is quite small and viewing capacity is very limited. However staff is really friendly and we enjoy the toom service breakfast which comes with our room rate. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Its located on an elevated section and we have an amazing view of lake tekapo and the surrounding mountains.
