We enjoyed our villa stay. Room was dated but the bathroom was nice and the room was clean. The pool and shared areas were a bit run down but we hadn’t planned to use them anyway. The breakfast was nice! Would stay here again

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa, which was in the back of the hotel. We had no lake view, but the villa was quiet, clean and comfy.
Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay! Had been there many years ago and as charming as ever. Room overlooked lake and beds were comfortable. Excellent Christmas Day buffet. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Te Anu which is much more convenient to Milford and Doubtful Sound than Queenstown.
Marion, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed in one of the villas. The place was decently clean although we did find some utensils that had been left dirty from the previous person. Beds are comfortable enough but worn. Really nice new bathroom. Only a couple minute walk to the main road with all the stores and restaurants. Very friendly staff. Buffet is great and worth it.
Kathy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice hotel, quiet rooms with plenty of space, bit disappointed we had to ask at the end of the day why our room hadn’t been serviced when we came back from a days walking, just to have more milk, coffee etc. breakfast and bar staff excellent would definitely recommend a stay as the position of the hotel is fabulous
Angela, 3-night trip

Cozy Villa for staying. Location is fabulous by the lake. Clean and comfortable bed.

2 nights in Te Anau

Great stay. We had a villa. No view. Carpet had a musty smell but other than that everything was great. Great breakfast buffet and having a sauna to use was really nice. Staff was friendly. Bed comfortable. Nice bathroom.
virginia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The villa option was a great way to be with family at a better cost that 2 rooms. More comfortable as well. I did 4 stars for condition ONLY because it's a bit older property and parts were a bit worn, but the rooms were impeccable as were the dining and other amenities. Perfect location as well. A great place to stay.
