We had to wait when we arrived at a locked front service desk and greeted by a long faced, unfriendly lady. The room was very old fashioned, smelled rather musty and the kitchen facilities inadequate.The facilities, i could deal with, but it was the customer service that was very disappointing. Advice: Go somewhere else where you're greeted by staff that... More

This motel is only a very short walk away from town centre (3mins)! The room is big, but the things inside the room are old. More

We were most impressed with the room we were allocated in this motel. It was recently refurbished, spacious, well equipt, clean and comfortable. Excellent value for money and we would highly recommend it. It is close to the front, however not overlooking the lake but ideal for exploring Milford Sound and Lake Te Anau. The town of Te Anau was... More

Internet is charged but unmetered - which rare for a NZ hotel I think. The hotel is just a little distance away from downtown (walkable if you are inclined) but... More

My only tip is to avoid it. There are plenty of other places. From the second we received rude service at check-in to the moment I woke up two hours early just to get out of that room, I hated it. More

The entire property is tired and in need of refurbishment. We had a 1 bedroom unit which was the decor of early 1970s. We fan heaters were noisy, lock broken on the bathroom window, leaving the room not secured. The bedroom has no window or ventilation. The wi-fi internet proved problematic and required ongoing assistance from the manager. Upon our... More
