46 km from Mt. Dobson, Starry Lodge is situated in Lake Tekapo and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property has mountain views. The apartment has private entrance.

Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the apartment complex, units have bed linen and towels. Gorgeous unit and tastefully designed. A lot of people have pointed out that it offers little privacy due to the many glass panels and windows but we didn't find it a problem as there were ample blinds in all the rooms and shared spaces. The fact that each room had its own bathroom was a huge plus point. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook a simple breakfast. Location was fantastic too. Easily the nicest place we stayed at during our trip around the South Island.

The spacious chalet with a balcony and mountain views features 1 bedroom, a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower. A private entrance leads guests into the chalet, where they can enjoy some fruits and chocolates or cookies. The accommodation is non-smoking. This chalet was the absolute highlight of our holiday in New Zealand so far. It is a well equipped, modern, luxurious, super clean and spacious chalet type accommodation. It has absolutely everything you can think of - and the absolute highlight are of course the animals! What a joy to have then right next to you and being able to feed them by yourself! Also super lovely to have complimentary drinks and breakfast ready in the fridge. The hosts are very kind. If we ever come back to NZ then we would definitely come back here! Top recommendation!
