Great Location and Walkable to Town and Tours

We enjoyed our 2 nights at the Lakeside Motel in Te Anau with beautiful views of the lake. Check in and out were a breeze and 2nd floor room was clean and met all our needs. Location is convenient for walking to restaurants and tour companies. Parking available on site.

Great Room, good kitchenette with everything necessary for breakfast. Room is non smoking but smoking is allowed on the balconies and picnic tables immediately in front so if you don’t mind second hand smoke it’s a good option. We would not choose this hotel again due to smoke entering our room from our neighbors.

The only reason I cannot give this property a better rating is the mattress. The mattress was lumpy and absolutely horrible. Everything else about the property was great but a bad night sleep is what I left with.

Great place to stay

Have stayed here before and loved it, this is a return trip. Close enough to town to walk. What I think needs improvement is the frying pan is not nonstick. Everything Wales was great.
