We stayed two nights to go on the Doubtful Sound trip nearby. The most appealing thing about this motel is the view. Each unit looks over Lake Manapouri and the hills and is fantastic to wake up to. We stayed in one of the units at the front and had a bedroom, bathroom and sofabed in the living area. We... More

Clean, comfortable rooms. Excellent location. Would suggest you avail of the cooking facilities rather than use the cafe - food very average. I don't know if they are part of the motel so have excluded thoughts on the cafe when scoring the motel. More

Situated in a quiet location oppositte some of the most picturesque scenery in the world and also close enough to Te Anau with it's more than adequate little town centre. Rooms were comfortable and the kitchen on the premises was just right for cooking our own meals. Would definitely reccomend and would stay here again anytime. The only negative was... More

The room was clean and the kitchenette was nice to have. The restaurant is right next door, and as pretty much the only option in town, it was convenient. The food is OK, but the beer was cold. Our room was in the front near reception, so it got a little noisy when guests would check in or return in... More

Love the location and the view. It was scenic and totally calming. Easy access to the beach for morning walks, 15mins drive to Te Anau to get whatever we wanted. The staff (front desk - Inga and Sally and housekeeping) were extremely friendly and helpful. The weather was cold but the room was warm and comfy. On our last night,... More

Yes the room did have a lake view but the room was old and small with soft beds. However we did thoroughly enjoy the restaurant next door. We took a walk on the beach after dinner and the fiords/water were beautiful. More

I'm confused by some of the other reviews that are less than positive but perhaps we stayed in another part of the motel. We stayed overnight as we were taking an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound the next day. We had a double (Queen) en-suite room with tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. The room was small... More

We stayed there for 3 nights in an ensuite unit with queen-sized bed. I suspect that our room was newly renovated because when we first stepped into the room, the typical smell of new furniture was there. The room was clean and tidy. The staffs are generally quite helpful. The hotel has a decorated restaurant and cafe, they served breakfast,... More

The motel offers a very nice view to Manapouri, especially in the morning, The rooms are small and extremely tightly packed. All furniture is old and you can smell it. The room was decent clean, but the common use kitchen was terrible, probably never cleaned by the motel, stinking and with dead flies all over... the rooms were full of... More
