Location and Surroundings

Mantra Lake Tekapo is a two and a half-hour scenic drive from Christchurch and Queenstown. Nearby landmarks include Silver River Stargazing (2 km), Mt John Summit Circuit Track (2.5 km), Lupin Field (2.5 km), Lake Tekapo Regional Park (1.5 km), Mount John University Observatory (3 km), Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve (1.5 km), The Church of the Good Shepherd (1.5 km), Earth & Sky (1.5 km), Lake Tekapo (1.5 km), and Tekapo Star Gazing (1.5 km). Lake Tekapo offers a multitude of places to visit, things to do, and activities. The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, with its almost light-pollution-free skies, is one of the best and largest stargazing sites on Earth. Lake Tekapo's unique turquoise color is the result of finely ground glacial rock melting into the snow-fed waters. The hot tub overlooks the snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps.

Hotel Services Offered

The property offers exceptional service and reasonable prices. All self-contained apartments offer a flat-screen satellite TV, a DVD player, and a full kitchen with granite bench tops.

“This place makes a smart choice for families especially: think townhouses, not hotel rooms, with all the space and facilities to match. I particularly appreciate the access to stargazing, given the location, plus those mountain views from the hot tub. It is a great base to explore Lake Tekapo.”
