We arrived late and a map to our room with our receipt was posted outside the office. The key was in our apartment. Light was on and we felt very welcomed. Clean and spacious for our family of 5. Highly recommend!

The manager (possibly the owner) was lovely. We had a lake view room, which was beautiful once the fog lifted. It’s an easy walk to nearby restaurants, and we stayed for two nights on our way to and from Milford Sound—a great place to stop. The unit was clean and very well renovated, and we were pleasantly surprised to have an ensuite in the two-bedroom setup. The only downside was the underfloor heating. I loved it, but my husband and daughter had trouble sleeping, even with the window open. We asked if the temperature could be lowered, but the only option was to turn it off entirely, as it takes 24 hours for the floor to cool. Thankfully, they slept better the second night once the heater was off.

Great little motel. Large clean rooms with everything you need. Friendly staff, plenty of parking. Ground floor rooms open up onto gardens with lakefront views. You can watch the seaplanes land on the lake. Easy, flat walk into the town centre.

Holiday stay with a view

Very clean and tidy, and spacious Comfortable beds. The under floor heating in bathroom and toilet was lovely. Plus there was a small wardrobe and shelves for suitcases. We had an upstairs unit with great ever changing views of the lake. Do be aware if you are upstairs you have quite a few stairs to carry your luggage up.

Great location

I gave Lakeside an excellent rating because they were so accommodating for our late check-in. (By the way, it takes forever to get there from Christchurch!) The rooms are very spacious. We needed a room with at least one queen and one twin since there were three of us. I thought the bed was a little old/not comfy, but my husband and daughter (22 yrs old) thought the beds were great. I appreciated the fact that there was a kitchen area so we could have two sinks. The shower pressure was awesome! That alone is a reason to stay!! But the location is perfect. Just a short walk to the visitor center.

We enjoyed this room and property, very nicely laid out and spacious and very clean. However we felt the mattress was extremely uncomfortable and should be replaced. That may just be unit 18 though.

A very pleasant hotel. The lake view at the door and the greenery make me feel like I am in a landscape painting. If I have the opportunity to go to Te Anau next time, I will definitely choose it again.

Really nice hotel. Walk into town was quick. Hotel was perfect for a nights stay. We did one night in order to go to Milford Sound the following day, which was a lovely trip. The only thing I would say is that Te Anau is very quiet and in hindsight we might have stayed in Queenstown and taken the (very long!) bus trip to Milford Sound from Queenstown and by passed staying in Te Anau. Parking at the hotel was free and plentiful. View from room was stunning. Staff were nice. Room basic, but fine. Perfect one night stay. We ate at a restaurant called Ditto, which is walkable and nice. Hotel kindly let us keep the car in their car park after we had checked out and did our day trip.
