You couldn’t ask for a better view. I thought Te Anau would just be a necessary and brief stop on our way out to Milford Sound, but I ended up wishing we could stay another night. The room was comfortable and convenient, and the guest laundry was an added bonus. I would happily come back here.

We had a garden studio, one bedroom. This was the best stay so far in my two weeks in New Zealand. The room was great, had plenty of space and two queen size beds, one in a bedroom and one in the main room but plenty of space. Full kitchen and very nice bathroom. Wish I was staying more than one night. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone. Easy access right on the main road across from the lake. Less than a mile walking distance to town. There was an attached laundry mat at the lodge as well if someone needed that.

Very well maintained unit with full kitchen including rice cooker. Great for 2 nights stay and 2 hours drive to milford sounds without stopping. Short walk to town centre and lovely walk at the lake. Fresh choice supermarket is only 3 minutes drive.

Our room was comfortable. We had a suite and there as no TV in the bedroom which would have been more comfy. The bed was comfortable and great to sleep in. The bathroom was good except the shower had a pull around screen instead of a fixed one and we found that once showering the water went everywhere.

Well designed apartment, spotlessly clean. We were not 'lake facing' but had some nice views out of our first floor windows. 10 minute lakeside walk into town. Receptionist at check-in was quite rude.

Beautiful place to stay. The accommodation was modern and very clean. The gardens were lovely and immaculate and the added bonus was that we could see the lake, perfect. We didn’t want to leave after two nights. I would highly recommend this motel.
