We had dinner there one night and it was exceptional quality. Breakfast was also very good and the views having both meals was lovely. Loved the laundry facilities and the hotel was in a great position for walks and shopping and cafes.

The bathroom was very modern but the beds/mattresses were a little dippy.

We liked that it was close to the main Street and on the lake.

The room was clean but very over priced for what it was. It was just a basic room. The breakfast was not “topped” up hence we had no fruit and there was nothing gluten free so not coeliac friendly.

We loved this hotel. The room had a gorgeous view over the lake which you could look at with a drink from the chairs on the veranda. The room was spacious and well appointed and the shower was one of the best we’ve used in our time in New Zealand. Staff were helpful and pleasant, even when we managed to lock ourselves out of our room! We recommend this hotel and would very happily stay here again.

Location was very good

I liked the property but for around $500 per night I expected more. The Villas are run down & are more like a motel room. The breakfast was fantastic 😄

"Good hotel in a great location"

The hotel is located along Route 94 on the small hill overlooking the magnificent Lake Te Anau. It’s an easy walking distance to the centre of town. There are plenty of parking spaces at the back. The reception is on the right after crossing the double glass doors. Long corridor leads to the rooms and stairs. There is no lift but porters utilize a special luggage lift that can speedily deliver bags to your room. Our Lake View room was located on the first floor. It was spacious, with ample wardrobe space, plenty of seating and a comfortable double and single bed. There were tea and coffee facilities. Bathroom was rather compact though functional, with walk-in shower. WiFi signal was good. Good selection of TV channels. Buffet breakfast had great selection of cereals, breads, cheeses and hot dishes as well as fruit. We dined at the restaurant and the whole experience was excellent despite some teething problems with the booking.
