"The tv didnt work, was told a repairman was coming. Didnt see anyone.
Shower was a pitiful trickle, no pressure in it. Our friends were in the room next door & had the same issues.
I wouldnt recommend a stay there."
"Great choice for the Milford sound run. My room was recently renovated and much nicer than the photos on hotels.com. RVs stay here too, several were close to the second bedroom window. Fortunately considerably quiet. Owner Mike was super friendly and helpful with local tips. "
"The rooms have an incredible view of the garden and lake. The room is spacious with a kitchenette. There is a washer and dryer on the premises. Cost 5.00. The staff was very nice. I noticed thr bathroom mirror was cleaned and the mattress was uncomfortable. "
"Our room was comfortable. We had a suite and there as no TV in the bedroom which would have been more comfy.
The bed was comfortable and great to sleep in. The bathroom was good except the shower had a pull around screen instead of a fixed one and we found that once showering the water went everywhere."
"A dated hotel that is really almost a motel in terms of rooms and stay quality. Condition is fine and front desk staff helpful but it isn't a good choice for a romantic getaway."
"A good location to base yourself in Te Anau and an easy walk into town. The unit was well appointed with everything needed during our stay. We found the beds to be comfortable and the unit to be clean. More than happy to recommend."
"Thankfully, I booked a premium room- which has very clearly been redone in recent years. The bathroom and bed was lovely- but truth be told, the hotel itself is so, so old and outdated. Lack of lighting, dark and do finger… you could also smell the scent of cigarettes in the lobby. It literally felt like an old hospital/psych wards… I’d recommend it if it’s a quick one night stay, but sheesh- weird, and overpriced for what it was…"
