Theres a nice lawn with a lake view at the back of the motel rooms which is a lovely spot to finish the day with a good book and cold drink. Otherwise, we had a friendly welcome on our arrival, a nice walk along the lake and everything we could want from a motel room.

Room was huge, comfortable and affordable with free parking. Everything I needed and loved being right beside the lake, whilst also convenient for Mt Cook National Park, Lake Tekapo and restaurants in town. It felt very safe, relaxed and family friendly.

Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park was a great choice for our family. The kids had a blast playing in the playground with other kids and exploring the park grounds and the lake. We were surprised by the Rosehip cottage in the best way. The cottage is very spacious with two separate bedrooms, a generous size bathroom and the washing machine was very convenient. We’d definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Room is clean, location is away from town center but next to the river so it is good. Staff is very helpful and polite. The only minor issues is the kitchenette only provides electric fry pan and it is old and dirty. It will be good to provide at less a stove, a frypan and a saucepan

The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home, the area has good restaurents as well, We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

The property was clean, with good facilities, friendly staff, and a beautiful area. What we didn’t like was the overall campsite, which in some parts looked like a construction site.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Our room - Tekapo - had 2 rooms, one with a larger bed and the other much smaller room with a bunk bed. The space was small but cosy. We appreciated the play area of the kids and the lake is a short walk away.
