I checked into this motel intending to stay two nights and stayed three. The following week I was back because I had enjoyed it so much. The people who own it are very helpful and friendly - nothing is too much bother. The rooms I stayed in were clean and had everything you could want for a holiday. Lovely view of the mountains to look at while dining and to cap it all they discounted the cost for me both in the first time I stayed and also when I stayed the second time. If you want to go to Milford Sound for the day this is the place to stay overnight. They can do the bookings for you if you want to go by coach and they will also book the cruise at Milford. It all goes on your bill and you pay the whole lot at the end which is great instead of paying bits and pieces all over town.

Very easy walk to the town centre if you wan to eat out but if you want to stay in there are full facilities in your unit. I was in a studio unit and it could not have been bettered. Well done Aden Motel!

It is as it shown on the Internet. The motel is a number of chalet style rooms with a kitchen including a microwave and 2 ring hob. The décor is a bit dated however, the rooms are clean. The location is very peaceful and as Te Anau is a small place everything is within walking distance.

A word of warning, if you are in Te Anau and like Indian food – don’t use the Indian in town (Indian Summer) it has to be the worst curry we have ever purchased. Try the fish & chips just outside of town (towards Milford) it was lovely.

Stayed for 4 days to take a cruise on Milford Sound and do other hikes. Manager made our cruise arrangements and was very helpful. Motel has washer machine and clothesline. Lakefront is 5 min. walk via a walkway, town main street is a 10 min. walk via a walkway. Kepler Track is a 20 min. drive. So motel is very convenient and affordable.

Very helpful owners and a quiet location, but the unit was a bit small. Bedroom was tiny (couldn’t shut door because of third bed) and no hanging space. Not designed for taller people as bedroom had TV at head height where you walked round the bed and the shower was at chest height. Cooking equipment OK. The block we were in had road access at one end only so to park you had to choose between reversing in or out. Outlook from our unit was straight onto back of other block so you wouldn’t want to sit outside for the view.
