Mackenzie Motel was lovely. You would not necessarily guess from the outside but once you enter, you can’t help but be made to feel at home. The design, amenities, private porch area and little courtyard are very cute. Nice to have the refrigerator and the little candy treats. Beds very comfortable and price just right. Also a quiet little town perfect as a stopover on our way to Christchurch,

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I do just want to recommend to anyone looking to stay here, it would be very worth it to upgrade to one of the main rooms rather than the budget friendly backpacker "cabin". The unit is basically a large metal box, so if you have anyone staying next to you, you will hear (and feel) everything they do. Any time one of my neighbors moved, closed a door, or sneezed, my unit shook. All that being said, I would still recommend staying here for the location and facilities - it is a lovely little motel, I just had a bad experience in my particular unit :)

Stay at the property from July 6-9 2025. The room was clean and the area was safe. New property owner was friendly and welcoming. The only problem was the internet/wifi which in time will be fixed. Recommend property when staying and wanting to explore Lake Tekapo.
