Great little renovated unit. Everything was simple and modern which was nice. Location close to the lakefront and shops. Beds were really comfy. Shower had good pressure. Overall we had a good stay and were happy with the room for the price.
Unfortunately when we arrived the unit had all the windows open and the heatpump hadn't been turned on even though it was 4 degrees outside. We had emailed ahead that we would be arriving late at night and had an infant on our booking. The self check in was all good but it was disappointing to arrive to a freezing cold room. More of a minor thing - In our unit there was 2 single beds in the living room - it would have been nice to have the trundler one packed away seen as it wasnt required for our party and we needed space for a portacot. Had there been staff on site we would have asked but we didnt want to bother someone to come all the way down just for one thing so we just made do with very limited space.

The room was clean and tidy. Livingroom and bedroom are completely separated and comfortable. Facilities of kitchen in the room were good enough to cook. Town centre is walking distance and it's convenient to by some foods. Carpark is in front of the room. Washing machines are in the property, but they didn't look clean. So we visited laundromat in the town.
Nobody at the reception. A owner tell us, "labors shortage". But this was just a excuse. Because the period we stayed, job seeker straggled to find job in NZ. So when we wanted a new towel, we looked all over for a staff person in the property to ask it.

We stayed in the "villa" - a two-bedroom house at the back of the motel property that was far too large for a couple, but one of the few remaining accommodations available. The house is a bit dated, but comfortable and very private. Ideal for two couples, or a small family -- there's a sofa bed in the living room so up to six people can easily stay there. The lakefront is just across the street from the front of the motel, and restaurants and shops are about a ten minute walk.

We booked for 3 adults and one child. Everything was warm, cosy and super clean. We had all the kitchen facilities we needed for a quick stay. We checked in late, but check in was seamless. The beds were comfy, lovely electric blankets and we fell asleep so easy, ready for the drive to Milford Sounds.
We had no negatives, the room and facilities were exactly what we needed.

Located just opposite the lake, which is great! Bathroom and furniture look very new, pretty comfortable facilities. The owners work hard and keep the motel very clean and it's really appreciated.
Just one tiny shampoo and shower gel for a big family for 2 days was ridiculous. I would recommend to make the family room available for a family of 3 maximum. Not enough space there, you know. You can get more negative reviews from clients when you sell it as a room for 4. We were ready for a small room but it can be a bad surprise for someone. Good luck in your business anyway) Many thanks, Natalia.

The suite was very spacious, and we liked having a separate bedroom. Kitchen area was well supplied with all we needed. Easy check in. Probably 10-12 minute walk into the lovely town of Te Anau. Can be lakeside in 2-3 minutes.
The ‘patio’ was two chairs on the driveway and not sure it was fair to call it a patio. Odd to never see anyone but had all our communication through text or IM. Seems like many hotels in NZ are having a hard time finding staff.

The outside looks dated but the rooms inside have had a beautiful upgrade with everything new and modern looking. The shower was HUGE and had an amazing showerhead! The beds were comfy and 2 out of 3 beds had electric blankets on them. The heat pump was a big help in this cold weather. The kitchenette was small but seemed to work well. The only thing is we had to have the door open (and it was a super cold day) while frying as it kept setting off the smoke alarm.
It would have been good if the 3rd bed had an electric blanket on it. None of the duvets on any of the beds have covers on them and we found hair from other people all over these... managers, please make sure duvet covers are being put on the duvets as this is so unsanitary!

Great location. I deliberately booked the room with a balcony overlooking the lake and have to say it was worth it for that view and for the location. Considering how hard it is to get accomadation in Te Anau, this is a decent option.
The property is quite old but clean and comfortable. I was a solo traveller is a ‘family’ room. I think it would be quite cramped for more than 2 people.

We stayed in room 1 and found it to be modernised and clean, a short walk to everything in the town. Two of us but it can sleep 4 if you don’t mind those in the lounge accessing the bathroom via the main bedroom. No stovetop but had an electric hot plate. Overall we had a comfortable stay.
No staff on-site due to general service labour shortages but that didn’t impact us and they were very responsive when we messaged.

The room was extremely well decorated & comfortable with all the required facilities including good kitchen area with microwave only for cooking but everything else exceptional including plates & cutlery & buffet bar seating. Comfortable easy chairs. Comfortable bed & very good shower & bathroom. Friendly staff when located but they are short of staff & have difficulty recruiting as is common in NZ. It was so good we stayed an extra night.
No reception staff on site until the morning but good directions about how to contact someone if required & they were immediately available & helpful over the phone.
