"A comfortable base for your trips in Fiordland"

10.0

A very conveniently located hotel just across the road from the lake shore with a good range of facilities, not all of which we had time to make use of. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and clean. The site layout is a little complicated and you certainly need the map they give you at reception, but once you grasp where you room is it's quite straightforward really. Breakfast is excellent with a wide range of food. We were later in the mornings and it was quiet as so many people set off early on the day trip to Milford Sound - we found setting off later gave a more peaceful experience there. This is an excellent base for a stay in Te Anua for the various trips and experiences you can have there. Useful to note is that if you go on the RealNZ Doubtful Sound overnight cruise (which starts across the road from the hotel) they are quite happy for you to leave your car parked there for the duration of that trip.

"整體來說,不會是讓人驚艷的住宿,但作為一個「位置很好、可以好好休息一晚」的中繼點,是合理且安心的選擇。如果是為了景觀來,可能要特別確認房型。"

10.0

位在Te Anau湖邊一帶,位置真的不錯,作為前往Milford Sound的中繼點很剛好。我們是從Queenstown一路開車來回,回程選擇在這裡住一晚,對體力恢復幫助滿大的,不用硬撐回程。 早餐是這次加分的地方,選擇算豐富,口味也不錯。餐廳本身乾淨整潔,且用餐時可以稍微看到一點湖景,整體氛圍是舒服的,也讓住宿體驗有被拉回來一些。

住宿的部分,第一印象是乾淨、空間也算舒適,室內擺設偏溫馨路線,有點像在住一個用心布置的老房子。設備確實看得出有點年紀,但還在可接受範圍,不會影響基本使用。 不過也有幾個比較真實的感受: 這次房間沒有安排到面湖或山景,和原本對這個地點的期待有落差,少了那種一打開窗就「哇」的感覺,算是蠻可惜的地方。 另外戶外有烤爐設備,本來覺得很加分,但當天天氣不好也就沒機會用到,有點浪費這個亮點。

Rooms were comfortable and felt fresh with good bathrooms. The breakfasts provided a good array of food and were refreshed frequently.

No privacy curtains in the villas meant we kept the blinds down.The restaurant was expensive.

"Really disappointing for how expensive of a hotel it is. Worst nights sleep I had in New Zealand because of loud music a"

4.0

The property is close to town, the bar and restaurant are nice and the bed was comfortable.

This was the worst nights sleep of any hotel I stayed at in New Zealand. There was some event the night I stayed and the music and bass were pounding so loudly in my room that was removed from the main hotel building, until midnight, that I couldn’t fall asleep for an hour after it ended. The TVs are also very out of date, and while I didn’t come to New Zealand to watch tv, with how expensive the room is, I expected much more. You basically had your choice of 10 channels.

"Lovely view from lake side rooms"

8.0

Lady on reception was excellent. She explained everything and was so helpful. We were upgraded to a lake view room. Ideally located. Breakfast buffet was very good, plenty of choice. Swimming pool had leaves and insects on it so was not very inviting. It didn’t seem very heated either. No lift but they had someone to take bags to room. We didn’t use this facility as there appeared to be a backlog of cases. We used the bar in the evening and the staff were friendly. Overall, I would stay here again.
