Top Tasman River Hotel Reviews

Peppers Bluewater Resort

8/10 Good

"Downstairs sofa bed was less than comfortable could nor find comfortable position due to lumpy mattress spring but otherwise the room ambience and bed upstairs , bathroom, as well as restaurant were excellent"

The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed only one night at The Hermitage Our room was in the new wing and really lovely- beautiful quality carpet, fixtures and fittings. Bathroom was gorgeous as was the linen. Fabulous view of the mountain and beautiful natural bush landscape. Restaurant and bar also very good. Wish we had time to extend our stay."

Haka House Lake Tekapo

8/10 Good

"the location of the hotel is perfect, it is the closest one to the lake and the room have nice lake view. It have nice security system to protect our items. The service of the reception is really good. When we found the dryer in the laundry room is not working,they help us to get refund on the fees we pay. Yes,they have a 24 hours laundry room.but one of the dryer machine is not working,so we can only report it in the next morning."

Lakes Edge Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The person who checked us in gave us a map, but it was to an RV spot, not the motel room. The room is nothing special - it’s functional and comfortable. What is special is the view. Looking out from the room over Lake Tekapo is spectacular. It’s an easy walk to town and to hiking trails. For the area it’s a good deal."

Tekapo Luxury Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Booked this place well in advance for the labour long weekend so got a great price. Apartment was huge and spacious and well worth it for the price. Had everything you need plus some with a full kitchen and laundry. Prob the only thing I could fault is that there was a smell in the apartment that could smell as soon as walked in. I assume it was prob from previous people staying cooking curry or something. Tried to air it while was there but smell still retained for the 2 nights I was there. Would stay again. :)"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tasman River?

The best area to stay in Tasman River for an exceptional experience is the Aoraki/Mount Cook village area.

This small settlement is located right in the heart of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, offering unparalleled access to New Zealand's highest peak and its surrounding alpine environment. It's a compact area with accommodations, a visitor centre, and a few dining options, all within a short walk of each other. The Hooker Valley Track, a popular walking trail, starts just outside the village.

For couples seeking a romantic getaway with stunning views, staying in the village is ideal. You'll find lodges and hotels with rooms directly overlooking Aoraki/Mount Cook, providing a truly memorable backdrop. Imagine waking up to a panoramic mountain vista right from your window.

Travellers keen on outdoor activities will also find the village perfectly situated. From here, you can easily access numerous walking trails, scenic flights over the glaciers, and stargazing opportunities in the International Dark Sky Reserve.

When is the best time to go to Tasman River?

The Tasman River is primarily a destination for specific activities, so the "best" time to visit depends entirely on what you're planning to do.

If you're interested in glacier experiences, such as a Tasman Glacier boat trip, the best time to visit is during the warmer months, roughly from October to April. During this period, the weather is generally milder, and boat tours operate more frequently, allowing you to get up close to the icebergs on Tasman Lake. This season offers the most reliable access to the glacier's terminal lake.

For those keen on hiking and exploring the high-country trails around the Tasman River valley, the summer months of December to February are ideal. The longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures make for more pleasant hiking conditions, and most trails are fully accessible. This is also a good time for couples seeking scenic walks and photography opportunities without the challenges of winter weather.

Winter, from June to September, offers a different kind of beauty, with snow-capped peaks and a quieter experience. While some activities might be limited due to weather conditions and shorter days, it can be a stunning time for those who appreciate snow landscapes.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Tasman River.

How much is the nightly rate at a Tasman River hotel?

Prices for hotels in Tasman River often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $121 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
