We spend a few days in Tekapo every year during school holidays. This place is about 15 mins driving to Tekapo. Room was cozy and warm. However, it can be a bit noisy at night due to the passing cars. The motel is right by the main road. The gentleman at check-in was more friendly and welcoming.

ce place for a stopover. It’s right next to the state highway so there can be a bit of truck noise at night, though it wasn’t too frequent. Didn’t get a chance to see the farm and that option wasn’t mentioned at check in. Maybe because it was raining. Check out was smooth and friendly, which was a nice way to end the stay.

If you’re looking to be away from the tourists in Tekapo, this is the place. Only 15 minutes away, it’s almost the middle of nowhere, in a good way. Just a few rooms, in a beautiful mountain setting, and if it hadn’t been so cloudy the starry sky would have been amazing. Quirky retro display across the highway and local history on display. Owner was very kind and helpful.

Made to feel very welcome

Our room was spotlessly clean and we could park right outside.
We were provided with tea, coffee, etc. and some milk and a few slices of bread, plus butter and jam for toast - much appreciated.
The bed was comfortable and the location pretty quiet, so we slept well. Our hosts had thoughtfully turned on the heater - as the nights were cooler.
Plenty of hot water, clean towels and toiletries.
The room is equipped with a small fridge (with freezer compartment) and a microwave - plus kettle and toaster, crockery and cutlery etc. We could have made the short drive to Tekapo, Fairlie or Kemble to eat out, but were satisfied with a basic meal of our own. Our hosts offer to pick up meals produced by the Tavern in Kemble if requested in advance.
We had a table and a couple of chairs on a small deck outside.
The motel was an ideal base for our star gazing excursion at the nearby Dark Skies Project and for a day trip to Mount Cook - about an hour and a half drive through stunning vistas.
Our hosts were clearly working hard to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - they gave a short run through of the facilities and made it clear that we had only to ask if we needed something.

Buerkes Pass is a quirky and interesting little place to see (look online).
The motel is directly across the road which was good.
The setting is in beautiful countryside. You can sit outside in the garden and admire the views. You can even help to feed their sheep.
The rooms are fairly small but have been well designed to have everything you need. Comfortable bed, good shower, microwave, hot plate etc.. All good.
Best of all though was the relaxed friendly feeling about the place. Lovely people (and cute little dog). We loved our stay. Ps. Also a lot better value than Tekapo which is only a very short drive away. Thanks Megan

The property needs a lot of care . It’s very old and tiny, super basic amenities . I paid almost $400 . Compared to a 3 bedroom modern apartment in other areas we lived in and paid less than $200.

Burkes Pass Country Motel was very enjoyable. It was quite small but had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable with amazing sheets. Bathroom very clean and pressure in shower was great. It was very nice to watch the lambs and the rabbits. Thank you for a nice stay.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. It snowed overnight while we were there and that was magical. The rooms were warm and comfortable.

Would definitely stay again

It was a unique experience. The accommodation was cosy. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming. It was situated in an idyllic spot within easy reach of Lake Takepo. We would definitely recommend it!

Megan and Phil were friendly and extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure we were happy and didn’t have any complaints. There are only 3 motel units but an awesome BBQ garden space with trees to sit under and the farm animals added some variety too

Old fashioned type of US motel with a great hostess and owner (Megan).
Would have loved to spend a second night but there was no vacancy.
Burke’s Pass is a great alternative to staying in Lake Tekapo.

Great comfortable stay!

It had everything we needed for one night and was only 15 minutes drive away from Tekapo. The guy was so welcoming when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The view from our room of the mountains was also an added bonus!
