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.

With mountain views, Milford Sound Lodge is located in Milford Sound and has a restaurant, room service, bar and garden. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

Milford Sound Lodge offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. Some units include a balcony and/or a patio with river views. When we arrived at Milford Sound Lodge, we were informed that the road would be closed the following day. Unfortunately we could not stay but the staff member, Gillian, immediately confirmed we could cancel without any penalties. The money was refunded promptly. We were disappointed we couldn’t stay as the lodges looked fab but with the amazing customer service we received, I have no doubt it would have been a wonderful stay.
