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.

Buerkes Pass is a quirky and interesting little place to see (look online). The motel is directly across the road which was good. The setting is in beautiful countryside. You can sit outside in the garden and admire the views. You can even help to feed their sheep. The rooms are fairly small but have been well designed to have everything you need. Comfortable bed, good shower, microwave, hot plate etc.. All good. Best of all though was the relaxed friendly feeling about the place. Lovely people (and cute little dog). We loved our stay. Ps. Also a lot better value than Tekapo which is only a very short drive away. Thanks Megan

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 .
