Was a beautiful place to stay, only negative was the water pressure not the greatest but was a warm and comfortable place to stay. Walking distance to town and the lake just across the road, easy walk around the lake too. Amazing part of the country.

Response from Illeana on 20 May,2024
Thanks Lester and agreed water pressure isn’t fantastic. Due to the age of the building we are very limited to what we can do. The Tanara rooms do have fantastic water pressure though so maybe next time.

This spot couldn’t have been any more perfect. After a long day driving to and from Milford sound, it was the most beautiful location, up to date eco friendly rooms, breathtaking views of the lake, the floors were heated and the ambiance of the fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, and not to forget the TV over the bathtub and pressure in the shower was unreal. 5 star rating! Wish we could have stayed longer! Will gladly come back again!

We liked the large apartment with separate bedroom and beautiful view of the lake from the lounge. Great to have a hob to cook on with a good selection of pots & pans. Everything was very clean & tidy. We appreciated the guest laundry, washing machines & detergent free, dryers $2 for 20mins. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance, also to the shopping centre. Good to see a large Fresh Choice supermarket in the town.

This motel is in the best location for Te Anneu! Rooms are clean and have beautiful lake views. We used our kitchen for breakfast and some dinners. Easy walking distance to downtown and to Real New Zealand tour office. We used Trac Net for transportation to and from Queenstown and they dropped us off right in front of the motel. And they also take hikers to the various tracks (trails) like Milford, Routeburn and Keplar Tracks. We used Real New Zealand to get to Doubtful Sound and Trips and Tramps to go to Milford Sound, all within easy pickup of this motel. There is no uber or taxi in town so you will benon foot. Highly recommend this motel!
