Great little motel. Large clean rooms with everything you need. Friendly staff, plenty of parking. Ground floor rooms open up onto gardens with lakefront views. You can watch the seaplanes land on the lake. Easy, flat walk into the town centre.

A very pleasant hotel. The lake view at the door and the greenery make me feel like I am in a landscape painting. If I have the opportunity to go to Te Anau next time, I will definitely choose it again.

Fantastic stay
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Te Anau itself is lovely and the views over the lake from the property are stunning. Beautiful place and really well run. Clean and good value for money.

Holiday stay with a view
Very clean and tidy, and spacious Comfortable beds. The under floor heating in bathroom and toilet was lovely. Plus there was a small wardrobe and shelves for suitcases. We had an upstairs unit with great ever changing views of the lake.
Do be aware if you are upstairs you have quite a few stairs to carry your luggage up.

Great Location and Walkable to Town and Tours
We enjoyed our 2 nights at the Lakeside Motel in Te Anau with beautiful views of the lake. Check in and out were a breeze and 2nd floor room was clean and met all our needs. Location is convenient for walking to restaurants and tour companies. Parking available on site.

Nice stay in a nice place!
Our host at reception was excellent — warm, welcoming, friendly and very helpful. While this is a basic motel, it had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay in a wonderful town.

Great
Great hotel, lovely staff that were flexible with check in and check out times. Wonderful location on lake front and close to town. Only negative WiFi was poor, kept disconnecting and flaky logging on, but had exactly same problem in two restaurants, so it’s probably a local provider issue.

The property was exactly as described. Rooms are basic, but well maintained & comfortable. The staff is pleasant. Property is easily walkable to the main town center with shops/cafes. The lake view is unbeatable. Served as a nice location to adventure on Doubtful & Milford Sound.
