The staff is accommodating, beautiful scenery, tranquil, amazing breakfast, spacious room. We were very happy to leave the hustle and bustle of Queenstown and stay here a few nights to visit Milford Sound and the surroundings..

No lift for your bags as it is two storey. But did find out later there was one, but for bags only. Would of been nice to have been asked how much luggage we had as we ended up carrying two 20kg suitcases up a few stairs.

The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and went the extra mile :) The location was perfect, with stunning views of the lake, and easy walk into the township. Loved that the windows opened, great to get that Te Anau fresh air into our room. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, and we loved being able to use the hotel sauna which was a great bonus. The smogasbord breakfast has to be seen to be believed!

I loved the elegant retro feel with a grand piano in the cocktail lounge. And close proximity to down town.

No one played the piano over our stay.
