Highlights

Wake each morning to the serene stillness of Lake Tekapo.

What You’ll Love…

The Bed and Breakfast — Boutique luxury by the lake

Bask in some of New Zealand’s most spectacular views at Ranginui B&B, an architecturally designed and elegantly decorated bed and breakfast. Nestled at the edge of the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo, this three-suite boutique residence — with suites named in traditional Māori — is set against the backdrop of the majestic Southern Alps and surrounded by beautiful grounds studded with more than 1,000 native trees, grasses and shrubs.

Here you will find a warm ambience with textures and design cues drawn from nature, as well as generously sized modern suites, underfloor heating, large private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows — so you can relax with a glass of wine and enjoy uninterrupted lakeside views. Enjoy an afternoon in the welcoming guest lounge, where you’ll be able to curl up under one of the throw blankets, read a book by the gas fire in winter and watch breathtaking clouds roll over the mighty Southern Alps.

The Suite — Designed with your comfort in mind, with a bottle of wine on arrival

Relax in a well-appointed Lake View Suite (Whenua Suite, Rangi Suite or Whetu Suite), where you’ll find luxurious comforts such as a plush king bed, luxury sheets, a spacious bathroom with heated floors, complimentary Wi-Fi, cosy dressing gowns, fluffy towels and a private veranda with spectacular views.

Enjoy a fitting welcome with a complimentary bottle of Deutz Marlborough Cuvée Brut NV in-suite on arrival. Made from the finest New Zealand grapes, using traditional French techniques, your bottle of Deutz is best enjoyed on your private veranda – or take it home and enjoy while reminiscing on your time spent at this secluded Lake Tekapo retreat.

The Food — Daily continental breakfast and a tasting platter with wine

Wake up to daily breakfast served in the spacious dining area while enjoying beautiful views of the lake. Enjoy a continental breakfast with a selection of fresh fruit, homemade muesli, yoghurt, orange juice, bread and spreads.

On one evening, sit down for a complimentary tasting platter at Blue Lake Eatery & Bar, located in the heart of Lake Tekapo Village. Enjoy contemporary New Zealand cuisine including a selection of local fish, lamb, fresh seasonal produce and classic sides – accompanied by a glass of wine each.

See & Do — Complimentary Tekapo Springs hot pool pass for two

Relax amid a backdrop of the breathtaking Lake Tekapo, mountains and native alpine plants with a complimentary general pool pass for two at Tekapo Springs. Offering three-tiered hot pools ranging from 36-40 degrees Celsius, this is one of the most idyllic places to sit back, relax and soak — when you’re not drinking in the view from your suite’s private balcony, that is.

New Zealand is famous for being home to some of Hollywood’s most spectacular film locations. The stunning Aoraki/Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki were chosen by Sir Peter Jackson to feature as the ‘Lake-town’ (or ‘Esgaroth’) in his movie ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’. Visitors can relive the magic with Lord of the Rings tours, run by tour operators in Twizel (charges apply).

Ann-Maree and her husband Sab were perfect hosts! Their home sits just above the village with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Her home is walkable to town and to wonderful walking trails. Our room was beautifully appointed, comfortable and spacious and the private balcony provided gorgeous views of the lake, mountains and star filled sky each night. Ann-Maree helped to ensure our scheduled adventures went as planned. I would highly recommend staying at Ranginui if you are fortunate enough to travel to this paradise, Lake Tekapo!

A terrific bed and breakfast. A wonderful view , perfect amenities and a delicious breakfast delivered in a very relaxed atmosphere. Our visit was made even better by a dump of snow! But the absolute best part of Ranginui are the wonderful hosts. You will not be disappointed!

A beautiful B&B with the most incredible view of Lake Tekapo. Our room had an incredible view, a comfortable king bed, a bathroom with heated floors and heated towel racks; there was a fridge, coffee, tea, cookies, chocolates, a lot of wonderful touches. We loved the home cooked breakfast in the morning with the other guests; it was great meeting people from around the world. Ann-Maree is a marvelous host and had the best recommendations for our visit and for our drive to the next town we were visiting. We did everything she recommended, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Oh, and the stars! Just go outside the B&B and there they are, in all their glory. We highly recommend Ranginui and would love to return in the future.

Lake Tekapo is a small dream town with amazing views of the southern alps. Our room at Ranginui at Lake Tekapo had amazing lake and Mountain View and the blue waters of the lake look surreal. This is a very well maintained B&B and feel super premium. Our host Ann is so sweet and helpful. She served us hot breakfast with multiple options and you dine in the main dining hall. It is like a close friend hosting you at their home for breakfast. Ann loves to share all the tourist tips and would suggest great options around Tekapo and even for your extended road trips in NZ. Thank you so much Ann and we loved every minute of our stay there.
