Elevated high above the village, Takapō Retreat offers a unique experience to those looking for something special.  Luxurious and private, the lodge has stunning panoramic views of Lake Tekapo, the surrounding mountain ranges and the area’s renowned night sky.

With a choice of 3 outdoor living spaces, spa pool and swimming pool (heated, avail Nov-April), you can enjoy Tekapo’s alpine environment year around.   The warm, welcoming internal living invites you to create and share a meal together, relax on a sunny window seat, or end your day in front of the gas fire enjoying a movie.

The master bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom, while the other bedrooms share a second bathroom (including shower, toilet and bathtub) and additional toilet.  A separate kitchenette and living area adjoins the rear bedrooms for larger groups requiring extra space.

The lodge is one of the few Tekapo properties offering full mobility access, including a wheelchair entry lift, several ramps, a fully accessible bathroom and widened door frames throughout – photos and more detail available.

By prior agreement well-behaved dogs are welcome at this pet-friendly property, so your whole family can enjoy the break (fenced courtyards).  See our FAQ’s for more details.
