The front desk staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. After a long, sleepless journey from Queenstown to Te Anau on New Year’s Day, we arrived much earlier than expected, completely exhausted. With Queenstown fully booked on New Year's Eve, we had no choice but to sleep in our car, making us even more eager for a proper bed. Though check-in wasn’t until 3 PM, the staff, upon hearing our situation, made it a priority to have our room cleaned as quickly as possible. Incredibly, we were able to check in by 10 AM, an absolute lifesaver. That sleep? Hands down, the best of my life. Thank you!

The location is great, right at the lake and walking distance to anywhere. It is a big hotel and offers family rooms which for us was great - 2 bedroom villa for a family. The villa was spacious and very clean, it had everything we needed. The beds were very comfy. They have an outdoor pool which is heated to 25 degrees I believe and a sauna inside which needs booking. There is a nice restaurant inside the hotel which looks out to the lake and serves very nice food.

I received a call from staff to advise that due to renovations underway that the room I had reserved would not be available. I was offered an alternative room that was an upgrade which I accepted. The room was really comfortable and away from any noise associated with the renovations. We were extremely happy with this room. The staff were excellent in all aspects of the hotel that we used, reception, bar and dining room, I would definitely stay there again.

Our family of four has booked two garden rooms for three nights. Thank you Sandy has upgraded us to a two bedrooms villa with a King bed room and a twin beds room, and a queen villa. The room was spacious with a living room with all the essentials. Very comfortable clean bed, clean bathroom with toiletries supplies. Breakfast was good with lots of choices. The entire team was friendly and helpful. Lots of parking

The location was great, being just a few minutes to walk into town. It is also opposite Lake Te Anau, which has a lovely walk along the lakefront. The hotel is spacious and our room was a good size with a lovely view of the lake. All the staff we met, were very friendly and helpful.
