One of a series of short reviews after a South Island road trip! Stayed 31 Dec and 1 Jan in the only lake view unit, upstairs with two bedrooms. Only drawback really was it was quite hot especially the first evening, and the sun comes streaming into the unit so needed to keep curtains mostly shut for some time. But... More

Location is good - right in front of the lake and 5-min walk to town centre. Room is very clean and spacious. The owner of the motel, Wayne, has been extremely helpful. He is very good at recommending activities and places to visit. More

was here back in May 2011. Scouting for a room due to last miniute plan, and decided to stayed here. Right front of the lake and the service was good.

Whilst marketed as retro, it is probably more a little tired than retro. That said, the bathroom looked recently renovated and the kitchenette may also have been. Lounge was another one that needed a refresh as it was pretty uncomfortable. Only an old CRT TV here but still did the job. But all is made up for when you go... More

Stayed 2 nights which was 2 nights too many. All rooms only have a view of parked cars , the decor and bathroom are a monument to 1960's style. There are far better places to stay in Te Anau at a similar price. More

We stayed here for one night prior to an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound. It's right across from the lake and an easy walk to town. The owner was very helpful and can book trips to local attractions. The unit we had was roomy with a very retro feel. There was a sitting room with an eating table and a... More

An older motel but so what. The important things such as cleanliness and customer service were 10 star. maybe the flowers could be watered more often. More
