we stayed two nights before our overnight on Douptful sound and the lake view was lovely. Te Anau had lots to offer - larger than some stops and good for access to the sounds - the drive to Milford is spectacular. The apartment was fine. more

I probably would rate this motel a 3.5 if I could. It was very cheap and fine to stay in, but there wasn't anything special about it. The room was a little cold, and you had to keep re-pushing a button to get the heater to run. The amenities were basic, but it did have a full kitchen which was... more

We have stayed here twice now, first time in July 2005 then again in August 2006. It is situated right across from the Lake with mountain and Park views. Initially we chose it for its pricing, but found it to be not only very reasonably priced but very comfortable, clean and warm (needed in Queenstown in winter). It is a... more

We stayed for 4 nights - lovely, very large studio room with a well equipped kitchen and a communal BBQ which we used two nights. We couldn't get a lake view room as it was full but our studio room was just great - highly recommended more

Nice place. Very picturesque location, across from the lake. I'd stay again if it were only going to be for a couple of nights. Clean and friendly. Rooms are a little small for any more than two people, so keep that in mind if you have three people , or if you're going to stay for more than a couple... more

The motel unit was clean and tidy. Could watch Sky Movies from your room and there was even a VCR. The kitchen was well-equipped and the utensils were clean. Both check-in and check-out were efficient. The guest laundry was handy. The stay, overall, was enjoyable. It could be even more enjoyable if the toilet was better ventilated. Also, heater in... more
