We had a wonderful stay at the Aden Motel. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied for us. The only inconvenience was that the TV didn't have the Sky Open so that we could have seen the Australian Open finals in our room.

Close to the waterfront and the centre of town so easy walk to everything. Close to supermarket and restaurants. To be honest we we're expecting much but this was a really pleasant stay. Quitest motel on our entire two week driving holiday. Couldn't recommend anything better for a clean, quite, well kept motel.

The accommodation was comfortable and the family helping to operate this hotel was very friendly and made a number of helpful recommendations. The hotel was also walking distance from the town center. It had a play area for kids and parking is in front of your room. I was particularly impressed by how clean the place was. Highly recommended if you're staying in Te Anau.
