Many thanks to Wayne for the great stay my wife and i had at Edgewater.The room was extremely comfortable and everything was as expected.We are often visiting New Zealand and I have to say the Edgewater is as good if not better than many other motels we have stayed in.To the negative respondents on this motel, all I can say...

Although I was promised lake view and got charged for it I didn't get the room that I was promised. The service was very unfriendly and rude. I have never come across front desk staff whine about about cleaning rooms. we traveled with kids and my kids had dropped some biscuits on the floor and the owner complained about cleaning... More

We welcome the opportunity to respond to this review. The reservation was booked through an I Site , and the Manager made particular mention on booking that the cheaper 2 bedroom Unit had a Lakeview down the Driveway whilst the more expensive alternative enjoyed lake and mountain views. The guests chose the cheaper of the two options and were charged... More

Te Anau这家motel是我在新西兰住过的最好的motel,老板非常非常nice,听说我们是过去度蜜月,特别赠送我们巧克力~~呵呵呵~~还帮我推荐便宜好吃的饭馆、还会帮你订餐~~总之人很好很好~ 再说说motel,房间很大,比我们在皇后镇和Wanaka住的都要宽敞很好,住着很舒适~停车也很方便。Te Anau的景色很美,有种静谧的美,一定要去Doutful Sound~实在太壮观了~~ naked bus站就在这家motel的门口,搭车也方便,Info center也离着很近。总之推荐推荐~~~ This motel is the best motel I've ever lived in NZ, the Wayne is so so nice~~ He helped us a lot~ Commend the nice and cheap restaurant for us, gave me the chocolates and so on~~~ And the motel room is commodious, bigger than the Queenstown and Wanaka's motel~ easy to...

The man who checked us in at the Motel made it one of the friendliest lodgings in New Zealand in our experience. He was helpful without us even asking him and making suggestions when we would not have known all the right questions after a tiring drive to Te Anau. The motel might be basic, but it did have a...

Old, dirty and dangerous and poor value for money. How many years this hotel has been taking money and not reinvesting in new furniture and equipment is beyond belief. The sofa (although red) was actually black in places with dirty stains. Bathroom was more like a cupboard. I am no expert, but the number of plugs inserted into extension cables... More

Our two bedroom apartment was somewhat outdated and a little awkward for self catering (three stools at a bar, a sink in the corner of the living room, and an electric frying pan for cooking). However, staff was very helpful and friendly and the location is magical.

My wife and I stayed here in March 2012. We were choosing hotels "blind" in that normally we check out tripadvisor reviews before hand. In the case of Te Anau we did not and so drove around to several motels to check out rooms and pricing. We decided on the Edgewater a) because of the very helpful service b) because... More

Great location. Edgewater faces the Lake with peaceful activities all day. Our room was well equiped and clean, excellent bathroom. We stayed 3 nights. Walk into the village for good eateries and services. We liked Kepplers Family Restaurant. Manager Wayne is ever helpful and knows the area well.
