Days 18 & 19 of our 25 day tour of N.Z. and we arrived at this motel. We were not dissapointed as the motel is well situated for the lake & shops.We had a Deluxe Studio Unit and found it had ample room & facilities for the 2 of us. The only down side was that we were in unit... More

As others have stated, the Lakefront Lodge is not on the lakefront, although if you step outside of your room and crane your neck, you may just see a glimpse of blue. The room was quite large and generally comfortable, although we had the same issue with this place that we had with some others on this trip. That being... More

Rooms were huge, spacious and comfy. Great facilities including a washing machine and dryer which was pretty expensive. NZ$7 to use the washing machine and dryer and you can use it after 9pm. Breakfast is delivered to you the night before and it comes with eggs! Although it is located in front of the lake, the rooms do not face... More

Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms, good kitchen facilities. Breakfast items are delivered the night before for you to prepare and eat in your own room. Although the lodge is right in front of the lake, the rooms don't have a view of the lake. Each room has a picnic table outside trough patio doors and each have a parking space.... More

Despite the name the property doesn’t have a proper lake view. Looking out of the window one looks onto a street and the houses opposite. Each room has however a little outside area with a table and bench, with a view of the lake. My room was spacious and clean, with a bedroom, a living area and a well equipped... More

This place wasn't 5 star, but the service and location sure made up for that. We were happy with out 1 bedroom room with a spa bath. It was clean and tidy - albeit 90s decor. Robin the manager was fantastic. He went out of his way to help us with tour bookings and confirmations and was very approachable. He... More

We are on our fifth hotel in the South Island of New Zealand in the last 10 days, and this was the worst value for money that we we have encountered. Perhaps all hotels in Te Anau are expensive because of their proximity to the Sounds - I am not sure. The staff were friendly and helpful, and this hotel... More

We researched many places in Te Anau and ended up chosing Lakefront Lodge. It could not have been more perfect for us. Location is lovely on the edge of the lake however rooms do not have a lake view. Dont let this put you off though as it was an ideal base for us.The rooms were lovely and immaculate and... More

You really need to look behind the façade of the name to appreciate what’s on offer at Lakefront Lodge. I chose this motel from a quick search of the internet and the ever present accommodation guides, available wherever you go in New Zealand. I made the mistake of looking at the many names and the many pictures and then assuming... More
