Good place close to the Tekapo lake and they have a good kitchen to make your food and also, they had washrooms and toilets close to the room rather than holiday parks so that's a good advantage.

The kitchen and utensils, common room, bathrooms and toilets were always immaculate. There are heaters located in rooms and bathrooms for comfort during the winter months and also a fireplace in the common lounge room. Rooms have nice, new looking carpet, comfortable beds and a hairdryer for your convenience. Also has parking on site which is a bonus. Always a warm and friendly greeting from the staff. Honestly one of the best hostels I stayed at during my visit to the South Island. Thank you to Xin Lei and the staff at Tailor Made for making my stay so pleasant. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Compared of the price I paid, I think it was good. The location is excellent. The room is spacious, the commons kitchen was great. Only the shared shower appeared old and not clean. So I decided not shower that night because I had showered in the morning , and I am going to have a private shower the coming night.

An overnight stay. Lovely quiet location & peaceful garden to relax. Room was clean & comfortable but needs sound proofing. Hearing our neighbours in the bathroom & snoring from the room on the other side was a shame. We were in unit 13. The outside of the property needs some maintenance (gutters cleaning of weeds & cleaning to remove cobwebs, etc).

Les chambres que nous avions étaient petites, mais bien aménagées. La cuisine commune était grande. Cependant, dans les espaces communs, le salon laissait à désirer. Nous n'avons eu aucun contact avec le personnel. À notre arrivée, une clé était placée dans une feuille pliée. Un système entièrement bona fide. Beau quartier, cependant, il faut compter sur le stationnement dans la rue pour loger tous les hébergés.

We had the cabin on its own with private bathroom for one night and it suited us perfectly! Comfortable beds and opposite the shared kitchen which was very handy. Moved our bench temporarily to the small private garden for breakfast in the sun. Easy walk to the church and shops Highly Recommended if you like good budget overnight stay.
