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).
