Three Rivers Lodge is located off the southern banks of Lake Tekapo, in the shadow of New Zealand’s picturesque Southern Alps. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Exceptional welcome by the host! We got a lot of information about the area and details about stargazing which was possible from the lawn directly besides the property (weather dependent though, we had a super clear night). The location was amazing, directly opposite the lake with great views (perfect for a stroll and run along the lakeside). The well known Church of the Good Shepard is either a few minutes drive or 15 minute walk away. The room was very clean and we felt comfortable throughout the whole stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Location of the lodge was beautiful - overlooking the lake, with a stunning walk on its doorstep. Enjoyed the layout of the common area with a roaring fire to sit next to. The facilities were good, with the option to use a barbecue outside, plenty of storage for food and the WiFi was good. The bed was comfy and the showers were clean, powerful and hot.

    The location of the lodge is worth every bit of money, as well as being in walking distance of everything in the village. staff were friendly and helpful, making it an easy and enjoyable time that we will recommend.

    The location, facilities and price were 10/10 - it was all so modern, clean and it was only a 5-minute drive or less to the village center. You save $100 more by staying in this lodge and it's worth the savings.

    Great experience with the camping vibes! I love the environment. Sharing facilities with many camper vans and lodges. They provide kitchenware in your room so you don't need to share them in the kitchen. The lake view is beautiful and just 2 minute's drive to the restaurant and cafe zone. I will come back again with friends for sure.

    Loved the hot tub and the fire! The ‘Alpine Lodges’ are just charming - beautifully appointed, private and cosy.

    Well appointed & maintained, comfortable & spacious. The lodges are also well spaced from each other so that if large families with noisy children are also in the compound, it should not affect the enjoyment of other guests.

    The views are stunning, the cleanliness is impeccable, the lodges are within walking distance for everything you might want to do whilst in Tekapo. The free upgrade was an amazing surprise and put a lovely end to our trip in New Zealand. Thanks again
