had a wonderful stay at burkes pass country motel. lodgings were clean and comfy, there were hot showers with good pressure, wi-fi not half bad as well. phil was a very gracious host, and we particularly enjoyed visits from chiho the cat!
well-located about 15 mins drive from lake tekapo. would definitely recommend!
The owner offered to order me dinner on the two nights that we were there. Weâre both light eaters so she brought one serving one night of a chicken schnitzel.. we shared and a lamb-shank the second night. Both were delicious and filling. It was handy and much appreciated.

Renovated rooms, warm cozy - thanks for toast from an early breakfast start - great stay
Lovely cosy cottage with fantastic rural outlook. About 15 mins out of Tekapo . The owners are very friendly and you can order excellent meals to be delivered. We met the family dogs and cat. Very restful and enjoyable stay.
The motel was fantastic after a busy day travelling with kids. The superior room was just what we needed and more. Kitchen essentials, couches, warm comfy beds. All the family enjoyed there stay
One of the best motel I have ever stayed in my lifetime and highly recommend this place. This was no less than a 5 star hotel. Amazing hospitality with clean rooms and made a comfortable stay. Most memorable experience staying in this motel

The rooms are clean and spacious. We can even cook in the room and the pots and utensils etc are clean. Owner is friendly too and gave popsicles to my children.
Loved this property. It was a short drive to Lake Tekapo for night sky viewing and cute pubs nearby for dinner.
The property is great and the hosts are so lovely!
