We had a wonderful stay at Mackenzie Suites in Tekapo — it was by far the best accommodation we experienced during our South Island trip. The private garage on the ground floor was such a thoughtful touch, especially during heavy snow. We were amazed to find our own name displayed above the garage — what a warm welcome! The host even waited for us at the door in the snow and kindly helped reverse the car into the garage to ensure our safety. Upstairs, the suite was spacious, modern, and filled with natural light. The panoramic lake and snow views from the three-sided floor-to-ceiling windows were absolutely breathtaking — we could have spent the whole day just soaking it in. The kitchen was fully equipped, the washing and drying facilities were excellent, and we even found a dedicated iPad with curated local recommendations for food and activities in Tekapo. One of the best surprises: a 12:00 noon checkout — the only one out of the 12 hotels we stayed in across the South Island. That extra time made such a difference and truly shows the thoughtfulness behind every detail. Highly recommended.

Hayden was so kind as to let us check in earlier on a rainy day (as there wasn’t anyone else staying in our designated apartment the night earlier). Location of the apartment was an easy 5-10 min walk to the town centre and lakefront. Apartment was a really good size and had everything we need (aircon/heater, beautiful kitchen, great views from the balcony, comfy bed, tv with Netflix etc etc).

Perfect house to stay with the family. All rooms were comfy. Fully equipped kitchen. Has washer and dryer. Location was perfect. Overlooking Lake Tekapo (though some houses infront were blocking the view but otherwise still magnificent) Beautiful sunrise and sunset! Master room was exceptional. The only room facing Lake Tekapo. Had its own mini kitchen, bathroom, and living space. Main house living space was big to accommodate big families. Would be a perfect summer vacation house to have BBQ and hang outside. House had a fire place to keep warm during Cold Winter/Autumn nights though the big heater was sufficient enough. Stargazing just outside the house was AMAZING. Never seen a sky so clear and starry. Wish it was winter to be able to see the southern light... The family enjoyed the house. Thank you!
