Absolutely not recommended due to below reason:
1. There are 3% charge by using credit card. And you have to pay for it since booking will not charge the fee. You have to pay it onsite.

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.

Please note that there is a 3% charge when you pay with a credit card / overseas visitors. All requests for arrival after 19:00 are subject to confirmation by the property. Otherwise, a surcharge of NZD 25 will apply for arrivals after check-in hours. For your information, we provide a heater, e-blanket, and extra blanket at all our accommodations. However, Lake Tekapo is surrounded by Alpine mountains which will be extremely cold depending on the weather. We suggest you bring more layers when you are planning to visit Tekapo from April to October.

You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.

Questions about Star River

What time is check-in and check-out at Star River?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Star River allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Star River?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Star River have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Star River have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Star River?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
