Nice view of lake, room and bathroom good. Friendly staff. Older building with different layout.
Quite basic but comfortable and satisfactorily equipped room. The location and the lake view are worth ten times the reasonable room rate. Guest kitchen and laundry facilities on site. Very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommended.

The room was very clean and comfortable with an amazing view of Manapouri Lake.
The property was on poor repair and shape. It looked like it was forgotten and just opened for a few weeks. Over grown plants and weeds. The view of the lake and clean sheets and towels were there only saving grace. The staff did the best they could given the condition the the motel.

Nice room and friendly staff! Clean and comfy but the shower wasn’t working properly unfortunately so I had to take a bath instead of a shower which was the only downside to our stay

Not too far from the city center! Clean and quiet. Lots of parking.
Absolutely stunning scenery, friendly staff but the room smelled badly of fish and body odor. My bed had a broken spring that jabbed into my leg. Was very rustic in definite need of upgrade….. wouldn’t recommend unfortunately. It says something when before bringing in my luggage I checked for bed bugs
The shower curtain was too short, bathroom flooded during each shower. The sign suggesting "don't flood the bathroom" won't work in the current configuration.
The laundry power was off at 8:30 pm - that's fine, but was not back on until 9:00 am - with a check out at 10, there really isn't time to do laundry on your day of check out.
Clean room and helpful staff.

The young guy on reception was very polite and helpful. The rooms are basic, but clean and the beds are comfortable - the view over the lake to the mountains is stunning.
But omg New Zealand, home of sandflies, put insect screens on windows!😀

Great location. Very convenient for making the early morning departure time for the cruise experience to Doubtless Sound we had booked.
Negatives: Grounds clearly need some maintenance done. Inescapable conclusion to reach is that the owners just don't care what grounds look like. Car parking available but on a sloping grass verge. Bathroom very dated and old and tired looking. Coffee making facilities - jug, cups, fridge, but no teaspoons!! Cups looked a little dirty.
Positives: Views are outstanding. Water in shower was hot. Internet wi-fi was easy to access, fast and reliable.
This property either needs to be closed or renovated desperately. The electric blankets are like from the 80s one was broken and the other was hanging on to its dear life. I didn't use it and suffered the bitter cold and the dirty blanket. The toilet literally came off the floor when I sat slightly to one side. We were on our way to Milford Sound from Queenstown and all rooms in Te Anau were completely booked. When we arrived at the hotel office and asked if I could use the toilet, the staff said there was none for guests. We had to drive out and around the closed cafe to reach our room. Everything was like a scene from Bates Motel. Our trip to New Zealand was wonderful with all the friendly and welcoming people, except this one downside.
