Spent two nights here. Our room was very clean and comfortable and extremely quiet at night. It is a family run motel and the staff could not be more helpful or friendly. We didn’t have much of a view but did have an outside area to sit in and had everything in the studio we needed. The motel is well located within 5 mins of the lake and the town. Although we didn’t specifically request it,our room would have been perfectly suitable for a wheelchair user. Lovely walks by the lake Would very much recommend if staying in Te Anau.

The accommodation is in a very quiet area, and is in easy walking distance to the town centre and Lake Te Anau. The grounds and the rooms are all very well maintained. The room was very comfortable and spacious. A lovely touch upon arrival was a welcome card and a box of chocolates.

Room tip: If you have very heavy luggage maybe consider a downstairs room.

Our tour party of 34 people arrived late afternoon from our beautiful day to Milford Sound. Mary was there waiting as the Bus pulled in ! She had all our keys and information at hand . Her hard work at making her motel beautiful has paid off . The grounds are beautifully kept, the rooms spacious and inviting . Mary also took some of the ladies to the hotel that couldn't walk that far . She goes beyond her calling . We will be back tor two night in 2020 and we cant wait . Te anau is a pretty town with a majestic lake and activities and we look forward to our new Tour . 5 Star Mary , The best host we encountered on our journey .

Room tip: The Hostess with the Mostest ! Wonderful Country Hospitality . Loved our stay

We had 2 rooms, 1 night each, 3 days apart each side of walking the Hollyford Track. The rooms were very roomy, clean and comfortable. This was the only motel we could find that was prepared to offer single night bookings at that time of the year. The staff we dealt with were excellent.

Extremely well equipped kitchen. Lots of room in the sitting and open bedroom area. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony having our supper with a beautiful view of trees and mountains.
Very clean, quiet and comfortable room. Had laundry facilities also.
Parking spaces were very small and not a lot of them.
Within walking distance to downtown.

Room tip: Choose an upper floor for a beautiful view.
