Pleasant and peaceful
The room has a small patio where we can sit and enjoy watching the sheep and chickens that live in motel’s backyard, something that not many places offer. A toaster, silverware, a kettle and plates/bowls are provided.

Burkes Pass Motel was lovely for our short stay in the Lake Tekapo area. Easy check in/check out. Felt like we were on a farm retreat with the garden, hens, and sheep on the property. Very clean room and friendly staff :)

It was pretty much the only accommodation in town and was just a 15 minute drive from Lake Tekapo. Very reasonably priced. Owners were very friendly and were happy to chat and offer any advice. The room was big and spacious and had everything we needed. Was a great place to just chill out and admire the stars at night. Highly recommended.

The property needs a lot of care . It’s very old and tiny, super basic amenities . I paid almost $400 . Compared to a 3 bedroom modern apartment in other areas we lived in and paid less than $200. I know where to look next time . The lady at the desk when we checked in is friendly and helpful though .

Megan our host was amazing. Took us out back to feed the lambs which was cool. Lent us an air fryer for our dinner and graciously let me put my kazillions of ice packs in her deep freeze.
Clean comfy room overlooking mountains and farmland. Friendly cat who jumped on the bed with us for cuddles in the morning and two cute little dogs. Beautiful fresh roses in our room from
Megan’s beautiful garden.
Great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle. Would be super gorgeous in the winter with snow around.
Great historic little area Burkes Pass
