Set 44 km from Mt. Dobson, Alice Garden offers a garden, a terrace and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

There is a private bathroom with shower in every unit, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers.

The nearest airport is Richard Pearse Airport, 95 km from the lodge.

It matched my expectation - including the location, nice host, lovely room, and especially the heater! It's been really cold in New Zealand (of course because it's winter) but the hotels we stayed were usually not warm enough even with the radiators on. But staying at Alice Garden was really warm, first of all, and plus cozy and pleasing.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Host was so kind and friendly, explained everything required and welcomed us to the area. Lodgings were clean and tidy, and washing facilities were a huge bonus as we were travelling down through New Zealand.

    The two bedroom cabin/lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished, had a great layout and a good use of space plus we loved the interior styling. It had views over the lake, a cosy wood burner and was walking distance to town but felt more rural. The beds were very comfortable and everything we loved. The kitchen was well equipped. We really appreciated the tasty loaf of bread provided and the little Whittakers chocolates which was a lovely touch.

During the day you can feed the animals who are.all friendly and happy to see guests! We cannot wait to come back

    Great experience with the camping vibes! I love the environment. Sharing facilities with many camper vans and lodges. They provide kitchenware in your room so you don't need to share them in the kitchen. The lake view is beautiful and just 2 minute's drive to the restaurant and cafe zone. I will come back again with friends for sure.

    Loved the hot tub and the fire! The ‘Alpine Lodges’ are just charming - beautifully appointed, private and cosy.

    Well appointed & maintained, comfortable & spacious. The lodges are also well spaced from each other so that if large families with noisy children are also in the compound, it should not affect the enjoyment of other guests.

    The views are stunning, the cleanliness is impeccable, the lodges are within walking distance for everything you might want to do whilst in Tekapo. The free upgrade was an amazing surprise and put a lovely end to our trip in New Zealand. Thanks again
