We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who had kindly given us an upgrade as we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The room had a great view of the lake, a lovely comfy, warm bed, a fabulous bath tub. There were treats and a lovely card which were so much appreciated on our special occasion being so far from home. We had drinks in the cosy bar on the evening and the staff were all so friendly there as well as the breakfast room. The breakfast was great and the chef was sure to ask if I needed any gluten free bread and told me what was safe for me to eat as a coeliac. No hassles with parking, which is a big plus. I would definitely recommend as a stop over on a self drive holiday. Also close to Main Street for shops and cafes.
It was not the most modern of hotels but most of the decor was tastefully done. Nothing I could fault. 😀
Great location, can walk to everything very easily.
Very dated and smells weird similar to old person rest home. Bed was very hard.
The bar staff and reception staff were very friendly and accomodating
The Villa we stayed in was very dated and no heating in 1 of the bedrooms
The staff is accommodating, beautiful scenery, tranquil, amazing breakfast, spacious room.
We were very happy to leave the hustle and bustle of Queenstown and stay here a few nights to visit Milford Sound and the surroundings..
No lift for your bags as it is two storey. But did find out later there was one, but for bags only. Would of been nice to have been asked how much luggage we had as we ended up carrying two 20kg suitcases up a few stairs.
Close proximity to the town, able to use facilities like spa and sauna, beautiful breakfast, room was spacious and bathroom was lovely and new
The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and went the extra mile :) The location was perfect, with stunning views of the lake, and easy walk into the township. Loved that the windows opened, great to get that Te Anau fresh air into our room.
The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, and we loved being able to use the hotel sauna which was a great bonus.
The smogasbord breakfast has to be seen to be believed!
