The Lakeside Motel is one of the less expensive lakefront motels, yet the unobscured views across the lake are some of the best in the village. I stayed three nights in an upper storey lakeview room and enjoyed spectacular sunrises and sunsets on the lake. The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped with modern kitchen area, queen size bed... More

We stayed here for 3 nights at a cost of $130 per night. This was good value as an adjacent Motel was charging $90 a night more. The room was comfortable & well equipped. It contained one double bed and a single. Free wifi was available, the TV had a very limited amount of channels. The location was perfect, overlooking... More

Turned up without booking. Liked the look of it from the road, as it was so impressive with it's lovely gardens facing the lake. We had an upper studio facing away from the lake, but a very pleasant outlook and very quiet. Large sitting/ dining room with cooking facilities,large TV and free Wi-Fi, bedroom and shower/toilet in separate rooms. Extremely... More

We got into Te Anau without having any reservations anywhere since we were passing by on our way to Milford Sounds. We had a look at few other motels but my wife liked Lakeside Motel and Appartments. We checked in and the host was super friendly. The room was great and the location can not be explained in words. Te... More

We rolled into Te Anau and began the lodging search checking out motels both on and off the lake. We decided on Lakeside Motel & Apartments and couldn't have been more pleased with our three-night stay. We took an upper floor lake front room. The entire lake-facing wall is window/sliding glass door and every morning we were greeted with an... More

We had a wonderful suite in the immaculately kept gardens. The unit was very clean and well kept with everything we needed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and always ready to help and give advice. The motel is well worth the money and more.

As with other visitors we were on the first floor with full lake view. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. The decor was not contemporary but perfectly fine. The gardens are beautiful. Reception was really friendly and helped with our planning for the next day,

We had a lovely room on the first floor with brilliant views over an immaculate and very pretty garden to the lake and the mountains. Facilities are very good and everything is spotlessly clean. We did a lovely trip to the caves also to Milford Sound and a flight over Doubtful sound. We'd definitely stay again and recommend this to... More

We had an excellent first floor apartment overlooking the lovely motel lawn and rose beds and of the lake and mountains behind. We could not wish for a better view. The accommodation was very good and spotlessly clean. It was a delightful lakeside walk of approximately 10 minutes to the town centre. We would thoroughly recommend this motel and is... More
