What guests think
At Skyrim Lodge, travellers consistently praise the clean, modern units and easy self check-in, while noting the quiet residential location a short drive or manageable walk from Tekapo’s centre, and well-equipped kitchenettes that suit simple meals.
Common niggles include finicky keycode locks, missing or limited items in the kitchen, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses. Several reviews mention nearby construction and that views vary, with some facing other units rather than the lake. Best for travellers who want independent units near Tekapo without full hotel services.

Facilities
Modern units feature well-equipped kitchenettes (stove, microwave, toaster) and large TVs; heating and electric blankets are appreciated. On-site parking and keyless self check-in are provided, though parking allocation and keypad entry can be confusing for some.

Lake Tekapo was great, and Skyrim was a great place to stay. Very bright and spacious. Parking was confusing (who is supposed to park where?) but adequate. The kitchen was big and useful, but we suggest adding some cutting boards, and maybe an oven. We bought frozen pizzas for our first meal, and we were disappointed that we couldn't cook them. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our apartment, and we miss it!

Clean, tidy unit in a quiet suburb within walking distance of the main town strip. The bed was comfortable, the internet stable, the aircon was quiet and efficient and the tv was huge. There were some nice tea/coffee amenities and they had ecostore brand shampoo and body soap which I appreciated. Easy check-in and check-out process, would stay here again.

Luxury, if only we had chairs for the deck, it would have been perfect. Make sure you have downloaded a movie to watch on their ginormous TV! You don’t have to worry about after hours check-in due to self check-in.

The condition of the room itself was quite poor, damage in bathroom due to condensation. Shower not properly cleaned, condom wrapper under the bed. Just needs more attention in the cleaning department… pretty average for the price. Housekeeping at 8:30-9am. We got in very late at night, they need a do not disturb sign. Great location though

To be honest, expensive for what it is. The units are comfy but small. The shower was full of hair and we had to get the drain cleaned because it would not drain, it also stunk of sewage. They did come and promptly clean it, they were very polite. The sound deadening was not very good between units. All noise would travel. The parking situation while ample, was not ideal. The bed was extremely comfy, the heat pump was very quiet. I was very impressed by those 2 aspects. Plus. Take your own milk, there's hardly any provided. And for the second time I totally disagree with the property's so called conditions on charging for cleaning costs after your stay. Does this mean the apartment is not serviced? $30 an hour! For late check out. Seems extreme.

The room is small but very new and clean. Be aware the lodge is in an area that is still being developed. Looking out of the only window from the room, we are seeing a construction site with a lot of trash and debris. I wish the owner could have put some potted plants at the deck outside to hide a little. Also, limited towels (2 pieces to be exact) were provided with no room services for our two nights stay.

Service
Self check-in with door codes is common and usually smooth, and staff respond quickly when contacted. However, some guests struggled with keypads or receiving codes, and the lack of on-site reception can complicate issues.

Great spot, lovely accommodation. Would have been 5 star but for the electronic door lock was a bit loose on the door and overly sensitive which meant several goes to get in with man sized fingers. On departure it was impossible to use when frost covered as a hard enough press to register was taken as multiple presses. So if the heat pump was left on apologies 😀

It’s digital check in so make sure you get the room Information before you arrive. Contact the property on their phone number and they will text it to you. If you find it difficult to call from your non-New Zealand phone, go to a bar in town and ask the bartender how to make calls in New Zealand. Worked for me. But without this knowledge you can’t get the room information! So do it early and not at the last minute!

The actual room was fine. It was hard to get code to work right to open door and AC was fussy. Where things went wrong was when they double booked the room. I’d had a long day and showered and went to bed early. After I was in bed someone opened my door. The hotel staff had given the “secure” door code to another couple. They didn’t seem to understand this was upsetting for a solo traveler. Don’t support this behavior. I explained, I gave them chances to make it right; they did not. Stay elsewhere.

Very nice place to stay. Bed is super comfortable, heater kept the place nice and warm when below freezing outside. Big tv with Netflix, very nice and heated bathroom with great stand up shower. Is about a 15 minute hike into town, but goes by fast as you find yourself staring at the mountains encompassing the town. Kitchen area had tools and utensils for two, ate most of our meals in house. More apart hotel, hotel communication prior to arrival through this app was ok, with a direct email day of departure they were incredibly responsive, fast and helpful. We are extremely appreciative of the team for helping us out.

Lake Tekapo was great, and Skyrim was a great place to stay. Very bright and spacious. Parking was confusing (who is supposed to park where?) but adequate. The kitchen was big and useful, but we suggest adding some cutting boards, and maybe an oven. We bought frozen pizzas for our first meal, and we were disappointed that we couldn't cook them. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our apartment, and we miss it!

The room (at least the 2 persons rooms) can be small and can be quite hot if you don’t want to open windows or aircon. There is no front desk so you just have to self check-in with the code provided. There’s onsite parking and it’s nearby to a lot of restaurants.

Great spot to stay in Tekapo. It's a bit out of the way so you'll need a car and, if you arrive at night, it might take a little bit of figuring out which is your unit but the clean and large units more than make up for that.

Great well equipped room that was nicely warm. Went over and above with kitchen amenities. Well located to town and attractions. Would stay again which is the biggest test.
