"The room was right by the lake, very close to the town center and the firefly viewing area. The only downside was the lack of an elevator; since we were staying on the second floor, we had to carry our luggage up ourselves, and the receptionist, an older woman, offered no help whatsoever. Also, the room didn't have air conditioning, but since it was February, the temperature was acceptable."

"Wonder stay! The room is very clean and the staff is super friendly! This is a family run hotel, and they are nice people. The location is perfect-short walk to the lake and away from the hustle and bustle of the main road and town. We got good sleep in Aden ."

"Overall, we had a really nice stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and worth the price. The location was excellent — very convenient and easy to get around, which made our stay even better just no towel on that day.. Other than that, everything was great and we were very happy with our stay. Would definitely recommend! 😊"

"The hotel is quite old, but overall it's clean enough. The corridors feel like a guesthouse in China, but the rooms are alright. If it weren't for the difficulty of booking hotels in Te Anau, it would probably be outdated in China. The breakfast was average."

"Very interesting house, we were arranged in a carriage, yes, a room converted from a train carriage, very unique. We arrived very late the night before and couldn't find the way to check in. The hotel manager also drove to guide us to check in after work. The next morning, he also prepared a very authentic and delicious homemade breakfast for us. This is the best room I have stayed in during this trip to New Zealand!"

"The door lock to the bathroom is not working. Light in bathroom is flickering. Need some maintenance. But good thing is it is very clean despite the old hotel. Location is good too."

"Just an average old motel. Nothing special. But the tap of basin is a nightmare. A bit of noisy in the morning because the car park is just outside the room."

"We have a wonderful stayed here. Nice motel and near to The Lake Te Anau. Thank you."

"This was the best holiday park we stayed at in New Zealand. The rooms were clean, and the common areas were spacious. There was even an oven, so we could have a barbecue. The location is also excellent – right across the road from Te Anau town center, close to the lake, and with a large supermarket and petrol station nearby. Definitely a place I'd want to revisit!"
