"This Hotel Really Needs an Update"

Good

4.0

Well situated hotel, which is in dire need of an update. The public spaces (indoor and outdoor) and the rooms were very dated. Even paint and wallpaper (at a minimum) could have helped, but everything needs an update (bedding, patio furniture, lighting). The staff worked hard and were very polite and helpful, but I could not wait to leave.

"Excellent Stay!"

Exceptional

Lovely Te Anau accommodation - everything was great except for the heat in the bedroom with the air conditioner unable to cope - had to sleep with the balcony door open - other than that a fantastic place to break journey - the view of Te Anau right outside was out of the world and the walk around Te Anau was simply super! Has a wonderful restaurant downstairs for dinner and a great breakfast buffet too. Would definitely recommend
