Just basic accommodation. We arrived around 6:30pm and nothing in the town was open for food so we had to drive to Te Anau. The water went off (it was a whole town outage) but with no water in the fridge it made for an uncomfortable night. It was back on in the morning for a well needed shower.

When I made the booking I saw that it advertised as wheel chair accessible.Not!! When you got out of the car there where 3 steps to climb to get to the unit these were at less 20cm high For the wheel chair to gain access we had to push the chair down a gravel driveway to access the concrete path to the unit. Before we got on to the path we had a fairly high lip to get over. We were in unit 18 so it was hard pushing the chair. To get into the unit you had another step,again 20cm high. No way could my husband manage this. Fortunately we travel with a small ramp so we were able to get in going in back wards - again another high lip at door entrance. Movement available around the unit NIL. Shower over the bath !! WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK

Water was not available for some time but we were not notified by the staff. There was a toaster but no plates, bowls or cutlery (except teaspoons) to be able to have cereal or toast. The fridge froze the milk. There was no fan or means of cooling the room on the hot night I had there, nor was there a top sheet or doona cover on the bed. Another guest was allocated an uncleaned room and had a lot of trouble contacting staff to deal with it.

Messaged them via expedia asking what's latest check in time, got the reply after 5 days! Booked family room for two adults & 2 kids. They apologised that they have been overbooked and offered me two double rooms instead, luckily my kids old enough to sleep by themselves.

Spider webs all over the unit, shower was dirty and the unit had a bad smell to it. For the price it was definitely NOT up to standard. Only thing positive was the beautiful lake view.

Location was perfect. Beautiful views over the lake Manapouri. Close to boat for exceptional day cruise to Doubtful Sound. Felt the motel in general was quite run down, needed refurbishment. Gardens need weeding. Restaurant and bar were closed.

It’s funny reading the reviews on here. The place is 2.5 star type place. Basic. Depending on room you get. I stayed in room 404. Two single beds with small bathroom etc. I stayed in summer which seems to be peak season. One thing to be mindful is the whole property faces east or west, so afternoon the sun shines in window s and makes it quite hot but cools down later by 10pm so ok for sleeping. Great view and quiet place. Something different to staying in more popular Te Anau. Good location to drive to various walks in Fiordland national park. It’s 17 min from Te Anau - not many shops around. Just the one bar place ( the church) to get food. But it’s quiet and view is amazing. But I liked it overall

Despide the bad reviews - it was clean, friendly stuff and stunning views. The building is aged - but the price is ok because of the good views. Everything good- we sleep well- and enjoyed our stay there.

Would not stay again

We were booked in to the three bedroom unit but on arrival were met with an original house from the 60s/70s. The living/kitchen/dining space felt ok, but heading to the bedrooms wasn’t pleasant. The carpets were stained, the toilet didn’t flush properly, the toilet had a low window with no coverage out onto the main road, no screens on windows or doors meant mosquitoes and flies came in, there were stains on the sheets, the outdoor furniture was covered in spiderwebs. The house was extremely musty and messed with my husbands hayfever. This cost us $700AUD for one night. I went to reception to ask for other options and there was one other room. He was very helpful, showing me the room which had a queen bed and a pull out double sofa bed. We moved here and on trying to get the bed ready for our two kids, discovered no mattress on the sofa bed. Back to reception and he was very apologetic, offering 5 meals for dinner (we had already eaten) and said he’d get the mattress for our two kids to share. When we returned from a walk, the sofa bed was packed and an entire single bed had been brought in. Our kids are too big to share a single. Back to reception for the 4th time, we got sheets and blankets and made up the sofa ourselves (not bed, she slept on the sofa). The mattresses were extremely soft and uneven. The shower head was broken. I barely slept a wink. It’s a shame, the location is stunning, opposite the lake and mountains. But this place needs a lot of work.

The only positives were the view & no bed bugs. I stayed at this motel in the mid seventies & it's vertually unchanged. Ancient dial shower, one pillow very flat, no milk in the fridge, dirt on surface of tv table. I was able to clean it so not a stain, & frame of doorway is raised a bit causing people to stub their toes - needs a mind the step warning. Only stay here if you a desperate. Definitely not value for money.
