You really need to look behind the façade of the name to appreciate what’s on offer at Lakefront Lodge. I chose this motel from a quick search of the internet and the ever present accommodation guides, available wherever you go in New Zealand. I made the mistake of looking at the many names and the many pictures and then assuming... more

We had a one bedroom unit which had quality furniture etc. This included an excellent large lounge area which had very comfortable seating. The kitchen area was well equipped, including, for example, a really sharp vegetable knife (how rare is that). Each room has an outside bench with an integral table looking out onto a side road, but if you... more

Basic, clean motel accomodation, circa 1980's. Nothing flash. Calling it "Lakefront" is something of a misnomer -no lake views. We drove into town without a booking so it was a case of beggers can't be choosers. Staff helpful with arranging tour of Milford Sound. Would have rated it better if not for the price. It was definitely not worth the... more

We were in New Zealand on our honeymoon, and stayed our first night in Te Anau in the Garden Court, which was nice but very basic. The second night we stayed at the Lakefront, and couldn't have been happier. The proprietor was extremely friendly and had good suggestions for where to eat in town (though if you're looking for gourmet,... more

This is a motel, single story, drive up to your room motel. It was clean and comfortable. No complains, but no tremendous endorsements either. This was simply a place for us to sleep on the night before our drive into Milford Sound and the night of. Don't expect Te Anau to have any fabulous places. This one was just fine... more

Whle the studio room was comfortable, the furnishings were quite basic. There was a meter box outside our room which was very loud at times during the night. There was no wardrobe, just a few coathooks by the bed. There was little privacy as all rooms face a busy main road. While the name of the establishment suggests lake frontage,... more

The owner here is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We chose a studio suite and were extremely impressed. The room was large and spotlessly clean, and the kitchen looked almost new. The bed was also very comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and was also new-looking, with a good large shower and heated towel rails. It was also cheap at... more
