We were welcomed at reception and escorted to our room to have the retractable sky light function and other room amenities explained. Breakfast each day was efficient with exact orders taken to minimise waste. Our room had amazing views of the lake and the night sky and we would definitely stay again if we visit Lake Tekapo

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

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.

It was really good; the rooms are nice and clean. Only suggestion is there is no full size or big mirrors anywhere and also the bathroom benchtop is too small. Otherwise the service and everything else is really good

Loved the property, verg clean tidy , with amazing views .
An early start for breakfast would have been great as a few activities around the area(up to 60 to 90 min drive) start early . Although organised with the staff there was no one around at 715/730 for breakfast.
