46 km from Mt. Dobson, Starry Lodge is situated in Lake Tekapo and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property has mountain views. The apartment has private entrance.

Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the apartment complex, units have bed linen and towels. Gorgeous unit and tastefully designed. A lot of people have pointed out that it offers little privacy due to the many glass panels and windows but we didn't find it a problem as there were ample blinds in all the rooms and shared spaces. The fact that each room had its own bathroom was a huge plus point. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook a simple breakfast. Location was fantastic too. Easily the nicest place we stayed at during our trip around the South Island.
