Priyadarshini
The room was clean and the amenities were good. The view from the room was also pretty amazing!
Cory
This is basically a motel. The “design concept” just means spare and basic. No common space. Construction. Our rate included breakfast which turned out to be a cold cafeteria tray brought to the room. It snowed, as expected in winter, and there was no snow clearing service at all. The staff literally tried clearing snow with a flattened box and a water jug. I would not advise staying here.
Rhett
What a place to visit the dark skies of New Zealand. Every room has an incredible view.
Joshua
Staff had trouble communicating in English, and breakfast was basic. Room was great, but couldn’t really see the stars on a cloudless night unless you really focus for more than 1 hour.
Richard
Spectacular star window and lake view
Algina
Clean room. Good portion in breakfast but it was cold when food reached our room. May be buffet breakfast could be better option. Other than that everything was good. Beautiful view from the room.
Alison
Very nice property
Xiaoping
Everything is ok, not so bad. A 10 to 15 min to the town center to buy groceries at the supermarket.
Roslyn
We loved this accommodation. The host was extremely helpful. The apartment had excellent quality furnishings and fittings. The view from our room was gorgeous. Honestly, it was perfect!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Unique and Memorable Stay
Galaxy Hotel is a truly unique and charming boutique property. The hotel is petite, cozy, and beautifully designed, creating a very special atmosphere. What made the stay unforgettable was the incredible roof window above the room. Being able to lie in bed and look directly at the night sky was magical.
Lake Tekapo is famous for its dark skies, and the rooftop window gave me a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the stars from the comfort of my room. The experience felt peaceful, intimate, and unlike any other hotel stay I’ve had. If you’re looking for something special and want to experience the beauty of the night sky, I highly recommend Galaxy Hotel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Matthew
Amazing location and beautiful scenery
Kumaree
The view from our room was absolutely beautiful. Skylight over the bed to watch the stars.
Kristy
We loved it here. The room with the skylight was amazing at night. The room was just lovely and the views were breathtaking. We would definitely stay here again.
James
The breakfast was delivered to our room while hot and had plenty of protein options including eggs, bacon, sausages and beans. It was more than plentiful and delicious. Would definitely come back again.
Roman
Clean rooms, great heater for those cold nights, and the skylight was amazing. The breakfast was really good too if you don't mind a slow start to your day.
Sian
The room was really clean but I was disappointed that there was no restaurant. Felt more like a motel, which I hadn’t expected. Breakfast was served on a few tables that surrounded the reception desk - so I skipped that.
Chee Woe
An early morning lake view changes the entire feel of a stay. The scenery from our room was absolutely incredible. Plus, the staff here are young, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We didn't get a chance to eat the included breakfast, though. We had to rush straight out the door for our activity at Mt. Cook.
Kah How
Friendly staff and great service. Room has nice lake and mountain view. Didnt try the breakfast as we leaving early in the morning, but the staff did give us some snacks and fruits when check in.

Everything is good!
Chirag
It was perfect location. staff amazing to help us. Highly recommended
Samantha
Perfect location. Highly recommend the rooms with the sky view, even though it was really cloudy out the window we could see so many stars through the skylight which was really magical. Would love to have stayed for longer!
Holly
From the moment we walked into reception, we knew this stay was going to be disappointing — the smell hit us immediately.
For the price, this hotel is far from luxury. The photos are extremely misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. It’s also set well back from the lake, with only a couple of rooms getting even a slight glimpse of a view.
The room itself was very underwhelming. The shower was covered in mould and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The bed and furniture were old, worn, and in need of replacement.
We genuinely considered leaving, but as we arrived late, we had no choice but to stay.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and not worth the money.

An enjoyable overnight stay- very comfortable bed with great sheets - liked the fact you could open the windows. No issues with the Wi-Fi and breakfast was good with several choices. Overall - very good.
Justin
The room was beautiful, the staff were lovely, and the unlimited breakfast was a nice touch. Wish we could have stayed here longer
Sarah
Wonderful room. Clean. Nice staff. Wish we had more time at the property
Annia
Room was great for a family of 4, bathroom was roomy. We had the option of taking breakfast in room or going to the dining room. We even had a view of lake Tekapo. The property was just 2 minute drive to market, restaurants, cafe shop, lake front playground for kids and tour guide operators. Great spot, just a little pricey
theresa
Clean room, great location, great breakfast, lovely staff
Heather
Great location. There is a ramp or stairs to reception and rooms. Breakfast was good, we chose to have it delivered to the room and sit and eat while enjoying the view. Easy walk to shops/restaurants and the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Nick
I night stay - amazing lake! Room was v comfortable, very helpful staff, breakfast in the room was a plus - lake views with bacon & eggs :-). Easy parking and short walk to town centre.
Kelly
If air conditioner install in every room, that will be perfect. No fly screen, lots of bees and insects may come inside the room.
frances
Shops a short drive away
Tal
The hotel was modern, clean and efficient
Olga
All of the above. Clean room and friendly front desk attendant
Mimi
Great view and very clean.
Kenneth
Clean well equipped room. Room service breakfast is included. Having this with a great view of the lake was good. Breakfast food was ok.
Bonnie
Amazing place - stay here! Well stocked little kitchen and amenities inside are wonderful - robes, slippers, soaps, TV, shower, etc. Very, very comfortable with great views. What made it extra special was the staff - they serve free breakfast to your room in the morning or in their lobby restaurant. Since the times for breakfast service didn't work for us, they personally delivered a full continental breakfast to us the night before so we could put it in the refrigerator and have what we needed in the morning. Highly recommend staying here!
PELLIE
Magical view of the lake and the stars. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and a great shower and tub. But, the best part of the day, was sitting in our comfy chairs just looking out at the magnificent view of the lake, then opening the skylight at night to view the stars from our bed-magical. We would highly recommend staying at the Galaxy in Lake Tekapo.
Dana
The staff were so helpful and very friendly. This place is clean with amazing views. Worth every penny!
Tali
The room was OK, very small hotel. A it far from the \"action\"/ city center.
Sunita
Good rooms and clean. Great amenities stocked. Good breakfast
John
staff were helpful and the room was clean, well equipped and with a good view.
Len
Staff friendly, breakfast included was good, room was spacious enough and included skylight was nice.
adora
the room was spotless, the staff was courteous
the building is newly built (looks like), built like a motel where the rooms have individual entries; the room/BR design is modern; there is a modern bathtub, the BR fixtures are modern; the bed is comfortable, the pillows fluffy; there is a sun/moon roof with push button controls; there is a fridge, kitchen wares, water bottles in the fridge were free; the room overlooks Lake Tekapo which is a great view in the morning; free breakfast with unlimited but reasonable quantities, room delivery is an option;
Laundry is available upon request with separate charges: this hotel is somewhat pricey and the only one thing that didn't match the price are the towels- they were not fluffy, they felt worn, they don't look \"new\" white, I rate this hotel 4/5

Very comfortable rooms and beds. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast was really great and the staff were top-notch. We definitely recommend staying here!
Lim
My son left his camera on the coffee table in the reception area. Your staff kept it away safely for us and so grateful to recover it back subsequently!
Thanks to Karin for her friendliness and advice on where to go around in Tekapo
Overall property in excellent shape, would be perfect if you have washer and dryer in the units
Thumbs up and will come back again!

Shanil
everything was absolutely perfect about this place and staff was super helpful
Frances
We enjoyed our two nights at Galaxy Boutique Hotel. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Recommended
Paul
Awesome property with a good view of the lake. My room was quite small. Two twin beds and a table with two chairs, plus the wall unit with the TV. That’s it. Parking area is tight as well. But the breakfast delivered to my room so I could eat it while enjoying the view was much appreciated. Plus the menu variety and food quality were great. And did I mention that view? Lol
Mary
Very clean hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive!
Zufyan
The place is absolutely amazing!!! Great staffs, great service and amazing scenery. Conveniently located to restaurants.
Julia
The hotel is modern and sleek designed with spacious room and bathroom, kitchen utensils and pots are a bit worn, the breakfast is really good with a wide range of choices, the only thing that annoys is there is no YouTube.
stephen

Great breakfast, incredible views, amazing hotel. No lift but has ramps to compensate.

Wonderful stay
Amazing and beautiful hotel. Really really close to town but far enough away that you still feel secluded. Beautiful hotel, skylight was so beautiful
Natasha

Exceptional views and in a great location. Disappointing that they charge you for parking
Michelle
Great place to stay, staff really friendly
Yu
Very quiet and nice property. Only suggestion is a better light blocking from the hallway. The light in the hallway can turn on and light up the whole bedroom.
Calvin
The view was incredible, definitely worth the price.

Amazing hotel. The staff were really friend and helpful. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended to stay if you are in Lake Tekapo.
Krunalkumar
Overall Good Experience 👍
Amelia
Great option for Lake Tekapo
David
Lovely new boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lake Tekapo is a small town with limited eating options but the dining is very good. We were unlucky with the stars as it was an overcast but the sunrise more than made up for it!
Tineke
Love the view from our room
Vanessa
Beautiful views, rooms were great too. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The only negative I can think of is the shower wasnt the cleanest, and the tap on vanity leaks so had to keep mopping it up, but hopefully this is being remedied. The breakfast was fantastic, and heating works reslly well - we were nice and toasty the whole stay :)

Nice spot just above town, friendly staff, and awesome cooked breakfast in the morning which is included in the price of the stay.
Carissa
Comfortable clean room for one night stay. Car parking was limited and access difficult in snowy conditions. Steps up to room were very icy and slippery but staff were trying to keep ice to minimum.
Aaron
Just like a mini QT Hotel
Fantastic funky boutique hotel in the heart of Wellington just near Cuba St with plenty of cafe/restaurant options. Felt like a mini boutique QT Hotel
Moses
The room was fantastic. We liked how we could have seen stars at night through the hole in the roof. However it snowed overnight so we saw nothing. The view from our room was amazing. It included the lake too. Parking was just below. We were on level 2 but it felt like 3 because reception was on level 2. Breakfast in the morning was included too and it was unlimited bread bacon eggs and the usual western fare. The ladies there were very friendly too. It seemed like everyone was heading where we were heading so when others asked her about their route, we just listened in.
Connie
A little bit expensive and far away from tepako lake, not many amenities and view is just so so but including free breakfast and staff is nice
Andrew
The property was superb! Clean and the staff were attentive to our needs. The views of the lake was amazing - especially with the snow! Will definitely book another stay here - hopefully in the summer!
Melissa
Had a wonderful time at the Galaxy boutique hotel. Staff were incredible and service second to none. We go snowed in and everyone was out helping each other to get their cars out and the hotel kept everyone informed of road closures. Thank you for your hospitality!
Jack
We stayed one night on the way to Mt cook.We were impressed for this small boutique hotel.
Clean room + nice bathroom + Friendly staff.
We will recommend to our family and friends.

Beautiful hotel, great service. We had a very nice and comfortable stay. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice stay and even brought extra dishes to our room so we could have a cozy meal in our room. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel!

Excellent hotel and well placed in Lake Tekapo. We were greeted by friendly staff who kindly showed us to room.
Our room was located on the upper floor, so came with the skylight which allows you to star gaze. The views from the large window are stunning and is a huge plus when staying here. The beds were comfortable and provided a relaxing night's sleep.
The breakfast is freshly cooked to order, whilst there is also a self-service area with toast, fruit and yoghurt. More than enough choice for my wife and I.
The hotel is located around a 10 minute walk to the main bars/restaurants.

The location and view were amazing. We had a free breakfast delivered to our room every day and the food was fantastic. The star viewing skylight was good, but just keep in mind that you can’t see the stars as well if the moon is full, which it was when we were there. Also, this skylight tended to ice up a bit which affected the view of the stars.

It was well thought out from a guest perspective. Great views including a bedroom skylight with an electronic cover. The plumbing fixtures were top notch, as was the bedding. The free breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Best night's stay in NZ so far.

the hotel is very well organized and communication is prompt and effective. Room is very comfortable , spacious and the bathroom is clean with separate shower and bathtub. complimentary breakfast is good and with variable choices. you can choose to eat at the lobby breakfast area or deliver to the room. the only comment is that the highlighted sky window for viewing the stars doesn’t serve the purpose. you can hardly see the stars. I would rather to have a patio than this.

Perfect during our visit for the Dark Sky experience. Newly built with a lovely bathroom.
