Good motel in Te Anau with all basic comforts
Stayed at this property with family for 1 night on our way to Milford Sound. It is a good motel with all basic facilities and amenities. There is a small kitchenette as well which was very helpful. Overall, a nice experience. Just one point: The heating in the room was through one air-con/heater only. This wasn't sufficient for the Autumn cold and the size of the room. There was no bed heating either. Hence, it was a bit cold in there!

Nice clean place!
Check in was smooth and quick. The room was spotless! Large room with a comfortable bed and extra amenities that you don’t expect from a small motel (make up remover, toiletries, fluffy towels, well equipped kitchenette). The couple that runs the place are friendly and very helpful. We stayed 2 nights while we visited the Milford Sound area and we would definitely stay there again.

This is a VERY dated property. Needs some care, by far the lowest one we chose for our 2 week holiday. There are no screens even on the bathroom vent window, so there were bugs. It was not awful, but for the price I expected a better experience.

Perfect for exploring Fiordland and beyond.
This is a beautifully kept traditional motel run by a friendly young couple providing access to the Fiordland National Park and beyond. The motel is minutes from Lake Te Anau and walking distance from the town itself which has a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. Our studio was well equipped with everything a couple needs to prepare simple meals in lieu of eating out and provided comfortable, clean and spacious living with free parking for the car.
