Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable - like a home away from home. The laundry facilities were excellent. Parking was easy. The kitchen area was easy to use and had everything we needed. The walk to town was a breeze. The location is beautiful and it’s a perfect place to stay if you plan to drive to Milford Sound.

Upstairs allocation was very akward for person with walking disability. No hand rails in toilet or shower (over bath). Would have preferred front unit overlooking the lake. Despite these shortcomings, the room (apart from tea towels) was clean, spacious and acceptable for three-day stay.

This motel was amazing. We stayed for 3 nights, had more than enough space. The kitchenette was very convenient for slow breakfasts, the view of the mountains was stunning, the lake was right out the front door, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Amazing experience!

Gorgeous view, excellent location, comfortable

Very cute motel, with a gorgeous view towards the lake. Huge room with a double bed and another single bed, kitchenette, and a bathroom separate from the toilet. Excellent location, very close to the city center, and the view is gorgeous. Kind and nice staff. The kitchen is a bit outdated, so I took a point off the ״property's condition״. But it has everything you need for a meal, including a stove and everything else.
