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.

Fantastic stay

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Te Anau itself is lovely and the views over the lake from the property are stunning. Beautiful place and really well run. Clean and good value for money.

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.

Perfect accommodation!

Check-in was easy and staff were helpful and friendly. We couldn't fault the accommodation - great location, close to restaurants, shopping, glow-worm ferry... The units were well designed. Not huge, but perfectly ok size for two people. Comfortable sofa, large fridge, microwave etc. Outdoor chairs for taking in the lovely lake view. Everything was spotless. The shower was one of the best we've had in NZ - the temperature was able to be altered easily, good flow and no leaks across the floor! Would easily stay again.

Amazing views of the lake. I loved sitting out on the balcony sipping a wine in the evenings and a coffee in the mornings. Well appointed rooms with all the things you need. the bathroom especially was new and modern. The entire property is well maintained and presented. Friendly staff. Good parking. Great location, 5 mins walk to the main street with all the things you need. Did I mention the views of the lake. I had a great stay and this motel is a great base to explore the region by car and the town by foot.

Nice stay in a nice place!

Our host at reception was excellent — warm, welcoming, friendly and very helpful. While this is a basic motel, it had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay in a wonderful town.
