We stayed only one night at The Hermitage Our room was in the new wing and really lovely- beautiful quality carpet, fixtures and fittings. Bathroom was gorgeous as was the linen. Fabulous view of the mountain and beautiful natural bush landscape. Restaurant and bar also very good. Wish we had time to extend our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay, staff, room, cleanliness, view all outstanding. Would not look to stay anywhere else, the information centre a few minutes away was fascinating and the numerous trails mean you can park up and immerse yourself. Only improvements would be a pool, sauna and hot tubs etc. We will return!

Staff in front of house - in particular Gaiska (a trainee) was superb. Thank you Gaiska for bringing whatever we needed to our room. However food in restaurant for dinner was awful. This is what meant a 4 star over 5. Skip the buffet and have dinner in Tekapo. The cafe food is great if you can wait till 1030am. Views are out of this world from room. Definitely book premium room.
