Grand location close to lake and town.
Showers difficult to find, even with the map (which was generally helpful)
Nice quiet spot with some great night skies.
No TV although it said the cabin came with one.
For our needs, did the job and a most comfortable space.
Location: The hotel is located across from Lake Te Anau which also leads to Manapouri which is our intended destination for Doubtful Sound cruise.
Parking: The 2 BR cabin was conveniently located at the front of the park (which is huge) and parked right in front of the cabin.
Rooms: The cabin is split into 3 distinct areas - 1 large bedroom with queen bed, 1 bathroom in center of cabin, 1 bedroom with 2 single beds - since I was with family we had the whole cabin with the bathroom in center of the 2 cabins.
Facilities: It was nice that they have fast Wifi and laundry rooms across the park. Used the laundry facilities and it was well maintained. We also rented their lockers to store our luggage as we had to take an overnight cruise at Doubtful Sound.
High cost performance, parking space is very convenient. But the exhaust fan can't be turned on and it's a bit stuffy. The surrounding is very convenient, go to the supermarket and take the fjord bus.
Was priced very cheap - room clean but very dated , camp kitchen needed a good scrubbing, broken amenities and no washing machine working - BUT hospitality was great and restaurant attached gave us one of the nicest and cheapest meals we had - took some famous sausages to cook away with us.
We were in hostel so was cheapest accommodation they had - 4 people room was only $100
The 4-person room with bathroom, a big bed, a high and low bed, the bedding does not look white enough, people with cleanliness may not adapt, but there is no problem sleeping all night, no smell, no uncomfortable atmosphere, it does not look very clean. The camp is small, but there are facilities.
The management staff is very good and very enthusiastic. There is no problem in the pursuit of cost-effectiveness.
We spent one night, having driven down from Wanaka and intending to continue to the Milford Sound tour the following day. Donna was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The history of the building was fascinating, and the antique decor and trinkets added to the charm. Breakfast the following morning was great- wonderful scrambled eggs. Thank you!
Location right on the highway and loud, if *** the cabin has in the direction. Very noisy also in between the residential sections. In the washroom a hair dryer and a towel dryer went from many. In our room, the bin was emptied when we were taking a shower. A clothesline was also suspended and the door locked, which we had left open for the short absence. We had to ask the lady to unlock us as we did not get in anymore. She pointed out that we should dry the laundry outside (on the washing day it rained ...). We felt that everything was a bit overblown. Scarce ***** t Euro are clearly too much!
The hotel and night tour are worth experiencing.
Very professional, very good feeling.
I hope to have the opportunity to stay in other products of his family in the future.
A place to deeply understand the local society.
We had a spacious room, room has fantastic sea view, room is 1 minute walk to the beach, can see dolphins in the evening. Motel near to the Penguin walk area and few hiking trails.Kitchen has stove, hot plate but no oven. Only knew the washer available on common area after check out. As our car break down, friendly host allowed us to use the common toilet and offer us drinks while waiting for technical.

Rreturn visitorI can absolutely recommend this place..it was delightful and very reasonably priced, possibly because it is not on the waterfront, but the cabin and service well and truly makes up for it's less than prime position. Could have stayed there for much longer.

YyuhongBreakfast is made by the host and the couple themselves, a very warm and kind old couple. You can learn a lot of local attractions and practice English by the way. The room decoration is artistic, clean and hygienic, and there are towels and shower cap hairdryer in the bathroom. But because it is a homestay, you can't cook by yourself.
AAkiVery good location near the lake
Sufficient facilities in the shared kitchen
The shared shower is hard to get hot water **Only this is dissatisfied
邵邵Beautiful to a hotel without friends! highly recommended! The cabin feels beautiful, the room is comfortable and the meals are delicious! The waiter is warm and friendly! Drink beer snacks are all free! Affordable for this price! The scenery is super beautiful! I don't have any other photos that don't look good!
