Skyblue Tekapo

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (3)
"Generally well located. Never got communication about check in, which would have been very inconvenient if I didn’t have an active mobile number to call to get instructions. Room was large, but noting fancy. The view was of the neighbouring empty lot, with old mattresses piled up. Did the trick, but probably wouldn’t stay again."
