Great little motel. Large clean rooms with everything you need. Friendly staff, plenty of parking. Ground floor rooms open up onto gardens with lakefront views. You can watch the seaplanes land on the lake. Easy, flat walk into the town centre.

A very pleasant hotel. The lake view at the door and the greenery make me feel like I am in a landscape painting. If I have the opportunity to go to Te Anau next time, I will definitely choose it again.

Fantastic stay
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Te Anau itself is lovely and the views over the lake from the property are stunning. Beautiful place and really well run. Clean and good value for money.
