Loved the pets

Good place close to the Tekapo lake and they have a good kitchen to make your food and also, they had washrooms and toilets close to the room rather than holiday parks so that's a good advantage.

Warm comfy rooms, good facilities, lovely deco, loved staying here.

As a back packers accom it suited us down to the ground.

Second time staying here, this time I had a room with private shower and toilet, definitely worth the extra money, comfortable bed

Compared of the price I paid, I think it was good. The location is excellent. The room is spacious, the commons kitchen was great. Only the shared shower appeared old and not clean. So I decided not shower that night because I had showered in the morning , and I am going to have a private shower the coming night.

Had a wonderful experience. However could smell the toilets a little bit while entering the room. Rest everything was perfect

It is self service. If you have issue you won’t know who to look for.

Loved staying here, its a shame it was only one night, all areas are clean and tidy, kitchen is fully equipped, there are common warm areas and even some furry friends

Lake Tekapo stay

It was ok for a short stay. Would have been better if the kitchen was in the same building.

This property is well located near Lake Tekapo and the nearby shops, and it has a well equipped kitchen with tennis courts near by

Very clean and well equipped

Very dissatisfied

Fantastic little find.

Very easy check-in. Great location, very peaceful and quiet. Community lounge & kind then fantastic. Room great, beds really comfortable. Garden is just amazing, expecially loved the little red toadstools in the grass.

We had the cabin on its own with private bathroom for one night and it suited us perfectly! Comfortable beds and opposite the shared kitchen which was very handy. Moved our bench temporarily to the small private garden for breakfast in the sun. Easy walk to the church and shops Highly Recommended if you like good budget overnight stay.

The surroundings were really nice and very good facilities. Also very comfortable!

The place to stay in Lake Tekapo

The kitchen and utensils, common room, bathrooms and toilets were always immaculate. There are heaters located in rooms and bathrooms for comfort during the winter months and also a fireplace in the common lounge room. Rooms have nice, new looking carpet, comfortable beds and a hairdryer for your convenience. Also has parking on site which is a bonus. Always a warm and friendly greeting from the staff. Honestly one of the best hostels I stayed at during my visit to the South Island. Thank you to Xin Lei and the staff at Tailor Made for making my stay so pleasant. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

It was good for the price i paid

An outside light to the other buildings would have been great. Apart from that everything was excellent and I will be staying again next time I go to Tekapo.

The property was a good price and was nice and clean.

Only stayed one night, after an all day drive, would stay there again. It was homely, nice bedding great outside area with a variety of animals. The shared kitchen was well set out with good crockery and coffee plungers.

Ideal location for a couple of nights in Tekapo. Easy walk to 'town'. Clean, secure and complete with two families of guinea pigs. Would stay there again.

Overnight stay

An overnight stay. Lovely quiet location & peaceful garden to relax. Room was clean & comfortable but needs sound proofing. Hearing our neighbours in the bathroom & snoring from the room on the other side was a shame. We were in unit 13. The outside of the property needs some maintenance (gutters cleaning of weeds & cleaning to remove cobwebs, etc).

OK for one night but not great value for money

We stayed on our way down to Te Anau. The property and setting is quite nice and cute with big garden, really close to the centre of Tekapo. However the property really needs an upgrade. I understand it's backpackers and expected no luxury but the bed is super soft and really uncomfortable, the carpets worn and threadbare. For the same price we stayed in a brand new hotel room in Queenstown with view of Remarkables...

Great family friendly stay

Great stay, had everything you needed including animals around to interact with and football, fribee tennis rafkets etc

.

Friendly B&B Casual Charm

Great location in town and close to hot springs. Fun place mingle with other guests in central kitchen and fireplace livingroom.

I liked the clean linen, the environment was laid back, good kitchen and great shower

Cute animals, unbelievably epic

Nobody there when we checked in, cleanliness very poor. Parking on site was full. So had to park on the street. $110 was a rip off for the quality of the accomodation. We are told to holiday in our own backyard & when we do we get ripped off. I wouldn’t stay there again.

The accommodation was what we wanted so no complaints

Awesome stay

Awesome place to stay. Friendly staffs, thanks Tiff for showing us around! Lots of cute animals in the backyard.

Location was good for us. Self contained unit was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

Clean and lots of parking. The giant rabbits in the garden were unexpected but very welcome.

Good accommodation

I thought this little backpackers was a gem. Great staff and good facilities. I mean its not a five star hotel, so get a grip and keep it in perspective. But for cheap quality place to stay for a few nights, it was a winner. 5 minute walk to shops and lakefront. heaps of parking. Big ups to staff.

Great location. I was upgraded to a better room due to a cancellation. Staff provided a number of recommendations for food and activities.

Amazing stay

Amazing stay at Tailor made backpackers, which has kind staff, clean & warm room, and cute animals. I really enjoyed stayed 2 nights there.

Price is high for the type of rooms. You can easily get 4 star room for the same price.

The warmth of the fireplace, and the huge communal kitchen. The daily routine cleaning of the place is greatly appreciated as well.

Good location, walking distance to everything. Friendly staff. Room was comfortable, we didn't have any issues. Loved all the animals living onsite.

Fully functional kitchen was great to have which also accommodated many people at a time. There was no tv in the main lounge or room. The walls were very thin and there was a group of Asian guests who were extremely rowdy and inconsiderate so we were up most of the night. Not really the lodges fault. Except for this wouldnhave been a perfect stay.

Nice room :) Easy to get around and parking which is a plus.

Homey. Big kitchen with utensils. Spacious lounge.

Great value for money compared to other places

Exactly as described. You get what you pay for. Comfy beds good quality sheets. Large kitchen with plenty of equipment for cooking. Two showers and WCs for our house, 4 bedrooms, all very clean. The buildings are old, so can be a bit creaky but still very quiet. Slept well

I like the country style environment, remind me those olden days. Out of my expectation for a backpackers. Very happy with the stay indeed.

Great location, ideal if you want to save cash

Good location, place is fine. If you want to save some cash then this is ideal. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Clean and nice hostel near to the lake

The hostel is near the beach and the place is clean. The staff was helpful. The kitchen is well equipped and clean as well.

Awesome! Staffs are very friendly and the yard Is so beautiful.

Awesome

It was really great accomodation. I’ve never written any reviews yet but the reason why I write this time is to recommend to others highly. Staff was really nice, the room is really clean and well served. Also I could stay only with my friend(2 bed room), with good price. I’ve been here during mid of July, so the room was a bit cold. Though the staff offered a lot covers, so even if I slept wearing short pants I never felt cold while I sleep. Thank you for your efforts!
