Great Location and Walkable to Town and Tours

We enjoyed our 2 nights at the Lakeside Motel in Te Anau with beautiful views of the lake. Check in and out were a breeze and 2nd floor room was clean and met all our needs. Location is convenient for walking to restaurants and tour companies. Parking available on site.

Great Room, good kitchenette with everything necessary for breakfast. Room is non smoking but smoking is allowed on the balconies and picnic tables immediately in front so if you don’t mind second hand smoke it’s a good option. We would not choose this hotel again due to smoke entering our room from our neighbors.

The only reason I cannot give this property a better rating is the mattress. The mattress was lumpy and absolutely horrible. Everything else about the property was great but a bad night sleep is what I left with.

Fantastic stay

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Te Anau itself is lovely and the views over the lake from the property are stunning. Beautiful place and really well run. Clean and good value for money.

Great place to stay

Have stayed here before and loved it, this is a return trip. Close enough to town to walk. What I think needs improvement is the frying pan is not nonstick. Everything Wales was great.

Perfect accommodation!

Check-in was easy and staff were helpful and friendly. We couldn't fault the accommodation - great location, close to restaurants, shopping, glow-worm ferry... The units were well designed. Not huge, but perfectly ok size for two people. Comfortable sofa, large fridge, microwave etc. Outdoor chairs for taking in the lovely lake view. Everything was spotless. The shower was one of the best we've had in NZ - the temperature was able to be altered easily, good flow and no leaks across the floor! Would easily stay again.
