- Nicholas (4/5): -

- Michell (8/5): Good stay - Central, quiet, warm on the cold nights Sometimes things not replaced when serviced , like toilet paper, dishcloths, facecloths
- BeebsM (8/5): Comfortable stay, great location. - The location was great, walking distance to town and close to the lake. It was easy to find. The room had everything we needed. The bathroom looked quite new.
- Hannah (9/5): - Really clean and well appointed. Appreciated the shampoo and the coffee plunger. Easy location for walk into town.
- Gaurav (8/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Nice comfortable stay - Room easy to find from key at office. Every thing there.

- sanoop (9/5): - Good spacious and tidy rooms. Clean floors.
- Graham (9/5): -
- Megan (7/5): Great budget stay In Te Anu - The location was ideal, a short walk into town along the lake front. The amentities in the room were at a high standard for a motel with a good kitchen and clean modern bathroom. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to move about the room
- Katrina (4/5): Ok but below expectations for the price - Location of property was good Staff were not friendly, and it was overpriced compared to other properties we had stayed at
- Wendy (7/5): Clean, great location. - Location There were no staff so I can’t rate them.
- Sarah (6/5): Nice but expensive - The location and place plus people. At a UK equivalent of £150/ night it is so expensive on a long trip around NZ.
- Kaity (10/5): -
- Glenn (3/5): Poor value for money - Position , outlook A great disappointment to arrive at Edgewater Motel in Te Anu to find our Superior Lakefront unit for which we paid NZ $513.00 per night was up two flights of old outside concrete stairs with rusted metal railings. Our unit was spacious but very dated , dirty carpet , furnishings dated and no air conditioning. The shower was over the bath with no slip mat for safety and the towel rail old and rusting. Kitchen facilities and crockery were adequate.
Deck outdoor seating was old and weathered with all paint or varnish worn off and no table as pictured in advertising.
The bed was clean , comfortable and cosy . The wardrobe old and inadequate.
The garden around our unit was dead or dying with leaves and dirt accumulating around the edges, in corners and under the stairs . The outdoor carpet along deck growing weeds.
Online photos of the motel and our unit very deceiving.
- bob (10/5): -
- greg (7/5): Central and comfortable accommodation. - Location was central. Easy walk to pick up our tour of Doubtful Sound. Basic and dated facilities but comfortable for our 2 night stay. It would appear they are updating some rooms. Nothing of note.
- Will (8/5): Nice Stay in Clean and Comfortable Apartment - Clean with everything needed available on short notice.
- Bridget (8/5): -
- Tyler (8/5): Convenient - Unliked location to lake and town Bathroom

- mary (8/5): Good value stay - Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Mini kitchen well fitted out and milk provided. A laundry room that was useful.
- nir (10/5): - יחסם החם והלבבי של פקידי הקבלה חבל שלא הייתה כירה בחדר + תאורה בפינת הכנת האוכל/שתיה
- Stephen (4/5): A very tired property in a convenient location. - Proximity to the lake and town centre. The bed was comfortable. The bedding was nice and clean. The bathroom was substandard and would not have even been acceptable in a hostel. Storage was extremely limited if we had been a group of 4 and used both bedrooms. No contact with management or front desk.
- nena (8/5): -
- Manfred (10/5): -

- Steven (6/5): -
- HEDLEY (8/5): -
- Ross (8/5): Excellent - Clean tidy and newly refurbished, would recommend Unfortunately electric blanket on one side of main bed wasn’t working
- Dhirenkumar (5/5): - Only single thin blanket on each bed,
No extra blanket on property,
No water on property for more then a hour,
Water leaking on room making carpet wet and smells bad,
And some sort of noise keep coming from room which is disturbing,
- Shivneel (8/5): - The location nice and the room was clean. Close to the town center. Very nice and cozy place There were no lights outside the room where the cars were parked.
- Barbara (10/5): Cosy, clean and comfortable!! - We booked for 3 adults and one child. Everything was warm, cosy and super clean. We had all the kitchen facilities we needed for a quick stay. We checked in late, but check in was seamless. The beds were comfy, lovely electric blankets and we fell asleep so easy, ready for the drive to Milford Sounds. We had no negatives, the room and facilities were exactly what we needed.
- Carolyn (9/5): Great accommodation - The villa had loads of space. Pitty we were only staying one night. Nothing
- Joe (10/5): -
- Kathrin (9/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Marmot (9/5): - 外見は古かったですが、中はリノベーションされてとてもきれいで快適でした。スタッフ不足で非接触のチェックインでしたが、何かあれば連絡する番号がかいてあり、とくに問題はありませんでした。街中でレストランにも歩いていけるしテアナウ湖に近く、立地も申し分ないです。キッチン設備も充実していました。駐車場は部屋前の私道のようなところに縦列で停める感じで空いていれば部屋の近くに停められました。
- Kaitlyn (10/5): Bloody brilliant! - Very modern, comfortable beds, amazing set up - had a 2 y/o in bed long before us and we could still do what we wanted without disturbing him. Perfect kitchen set up. Honestly couldn’t asked for a better place. Nothing comes to mind
- Ken (6/5): - The Location The Laundry facilities were below average only one of the two washing machines were working
- Asuka (9/5): -
- Rajeev (8/5): - Proximity to lake and town centre. Nice and cosy room with the basic kitchen amenities. Room cleaning service was not done on one of the day during stay.
- Putcharee (10/5): ชอบที่พักนี้มากที่สุด สะอาด สะดวก ห้องน้ำมีฮีทเตอร์ เตียงหลับสบาย - ทำเลที่ตั้งดีมาก ห้องพักสะอาด มีอุปกรณ์ให้ครบ ไม่มี
- Indrani (1/5): Horrific - Very old. Dark. Mouldy smell from old carpets. Horrible old bathroom. Unpleasant. Uncomfortable.
- Kathleen (6/5): Very Comfortable and clean, but way over priced. - Location, comfortable bed, great bathroom., good aircon, quiet. Very clean. Poor value for money. Low quality set up in kitchenette. Broken coffee press. Loose handle on fry pan. Mismatched crockery and cutlery, more suited to budget accomodation. For less than $100 you could make it right. BBQ in disrepair, dirty with no gas bottle.
- Felix (7/5): -
- Markus (10/5): -
- Evan (10/5): -
- Doug (8/5): Great stay in a comfortable and clean property. A little pricey but similar to other comparable properties - Great location and despite the older exterior, the interior was very modern and well laid out.
- Sue (5/5): -
- Ying (9/5): -
- Andrew (7/5): Looks old from outside but rooms fitted out well. - Good location -
- Julie (3/5): -
- Ian (10/5): Modern, very comfortable rooms with luxurious amenities. Recommend. - Location was very close to the lake. The facilities were immaculately clean, and modern. After long days of hiking, was great to come home to a comfortable bathroom and bed; the owners have made it luxurious with towel warmers, heater in the bathroom, and heated beds (can control each side of bed with different remotes). The manager was very communicative; due to staff shortages, no one in the office but had given detailed instructions during check-in and did not have any problems. Slightly longer walk, about 10min, to get to Main Street of Te Anau. In some ways, this was actually nice as less noise.
- Judith (7/5): - Good location. Room was well equipped. Due to staff shortages there was no staff on site at most times.
- bruce (10/5): Keep up the good work - Great place to stay clean tidy and quiet Having to go home
- Nicole (8/5): -
- Karen (8/5): - Great location - new facilities. Excellent shower pressure and large shower. Nice and quiet in the evening.
- Alicia (9/5): -
- Facundo (10/5): -
- eli (9/5): -
- ISRAEL (9/5): comfy and clean short stay. - clean room and facilities
good size of room and had a handy kitchen
comfy heated beds
good amenities and convenient plugs around the room no complaints.
- Purshottam (6/5): Overall good - Very helpful staff, Beverly is a star Additional charges despite the room being vacant
- John (7/5): -
- Melissa (8/5): - Cute little unit. Clean and tidy. Was good for our overnight stop before Milford Sound Nothing, was fit for our purpose
- ching man (9/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): -
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Mary (6/5): -
- Renold (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hayley (8/5): Very good - Great little renovated unit. Everything was simple and modern which was nice. Location close to the lakefront and shops. Beds were really comfy. Shower had good pressure. Overall we had a good stay and were happy with the room for the price. Unfortunately when we arrived the unit had all the windows open and the heatpump hadn't been turned on even though it was 4 degrees outside. We had emailed ahead that we would be arriving late at night and had an infant on our booking. The self check in was all good but it was disappointing to arrive to a freezing cold room.
More of a minor thing - In our unit there was 2 single beds in the living room - it would have been nice to have the trundler one packed away seen as it wasnt required for our party and we needed space for a portacot. Had there been staff on site we would have asked but we didnt want to bother someone to come all the way down just for one thing so we just made do with very limited space.
- Phillip (6/5): Fine but drainage blocked needed to use public facilities a -
- Chrystelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Glenda (8/5): Very good - A really nice motel unit wirh new modern kitchen and bathroom. Nice and close to the lake, just across the road. There was no staff on duty the time we were there. Our envelope was cellotaped to the reception door with our name on it with instructions. Obviously short staffed.
- Annmary (6/5): Pleasant - Room heating was poor
- Bronwyn (7/5): Quite location but central to everything including the lake. - Great location walking distance to everything in town. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem. The room was small for 4 people, but we made it work
- Hannah (9/5): Superb -
- Nepia (8/5): Comfortable ,relaxing and enjoyable - The location was good everything was loverly There was Nothing we didn't like
- Pokong (7/5): Good - On our arrival, the room provided to us was very disappointing.Luckily there was some problem with the payment and because of this, two of your lady staff come. After negotiating with them, they arranged two other rooms to our satisfaction. In general ok. Thank God!
- Colin (9/5): Superb -
