Happy South Canterbury Anniversary from all of us at The Godley Hotel!

From the rugged peaks of the Southern Alps down to the shores of our very own, breathtaking Lake Tekapo, we are endlessly proud to call this stunning corner of the world home.

Whether you're road-tripping through the Mackenzie District, soaking up the crisp alpine air, or getting ready for a night under our world-famous Dark Sky Reserve, we’d love to host you.

Drop anchor by the lake, grab a warm bite, and celebrate our region’s special day with us!

Breakfast & lunch: Monday–Sunday
Dinner: Wednesday–Sunday
Monday & Tuesday evenings: closed

Staying with us at The Godley? Even better. You’re only a few steps away. 😉

Come hungry. Leave happy.
