This was our favourite accomodation in our 2 week trip in New Zealand. We loved the decor both in the room and the motel surroundings; bed was super comfy; the room was quiet; shower pressure was satisfyingly strong.

Very friendly, helpful owners. We stayed 2 nights to do a comfortable Milford Sound 4hr round trip. Unit was clean, tidy, comfortable and warm. Parking is directly outside your unit. Some units overlook the grass play area. Nice easy flat walk to lake 5 mins and into centre 10mins with plenty of choices for food. Supermarket has good choice. Would definitely stay again for couple of nights.

Great little motel. Cleanest of the 6 hotel/motels I stayed at on the South Island. Rooms are small but comfortable for 1-2 people. Modern well equipped bathrooms. Spacious kitchens. Onsite parking is tight if motel is full but was fine during my 2 night stay.

Modest motel apt in a terrific location which is easily walkable to town, lake, groceries and restaurants. Irene runs a very efficient, organized place with everything you might need in a compact setting. Parking is easy and assigned, laundry is available in the laundry room for $4 wash, $4dry, one machine each. Customer choice for housekeeping or not. Towels, supplies, refreshed as requested. Very well run place.

It is better than most of the 4 star hotels. The owner is onsite and make the hotel very clean. She is very friendly too. It should not be called a “motel”. It is a quite a good hotel.

In response to your review well perhaps you needed to double check what you book and check the photos before you make a booking as you booked our budget room with 2 single beds and this is exactly what you got perhaps spend a bit more money and you should have stayed in our lovely King Studio Apartments. We do hope you enjoyed the beautiful Fiordland Area Thank you for staying with us

This property is conveniently located for trips into Fiordland National Park. It's a small property but kept very clean. It was comfortable and nice. The parking was fine with a slot located right in front of the room and no stairs as all the units are on the ground floor. Te Anau is a "tourist" town with many dining options and little stores. The motel is close enough to visit everything without being in the middle of the noise. Definitely recommend.
Response from Irene - Manager on 25 Feb 2023
Patricia thank you for a lovely review yes we are close to the National Park Office so great for hikers to access easily from here and town is only 1km or 10 mins walk away. All ground floor I do giggle when people ask for ground floor knowing they have not looked at our photos before making a booking. Thanks
