It was a very comfortable stay, everything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. Very friendly service. Would recommend to others.
Nice place for a 2 night stay while visiting Milford. Comfortable place. 5 min drive to restaurants and grocery. Morning walks around the lake and star gazing were lovely. No view of lake from the room. Room faces the road so not ideal for opening the curtains in the room.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Convenient location for your Milford Sound Tours and other surrounding areas/lakes. Beautiful location, right on the lake’s edge!
We immediately were happy with our choosing this lodge to stay in after our great check in experience with Kim. She was personable and helpful with suggesting beautiful sunset view walks and other hikes. We stayed so we could drive into Milford sound the next day for hiking. Close to walk to grocery store and town center. Big room! We would recommend this to friends and family, we would also stay here again ourselves. Thank you Kim and team!
Great spot, loved the sunny afternoon picnic table lanai!
Walk along the lake from, and just away from the busy town intersection!
We spent 2 nights and enjoyed the area and unbelievable Milford Sound drive/cruise. Got great tips for rainy time from Host best was the video on the Fiordland at the local cinema!
If you want a great placevto stay in Te Anu then this is your spot. Close to town, quiet digs, amazing lake views and a host that has an amazing calm demeanour even when the apps have let us down! Five stars and More!
The Lakefront Lodge was a great stay. A beautiful small hotel, in an even more beautiful location. Well appointed rooms with a great outside area. loved it!
We stayed for two nights at Lakefront Lodge and used as our base to visit Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound (both incredible!). Our hosts were lovely, just so helpful and so knowledgeable. Our room was terrific - spotlessly clean, super comfortable and we loved the lavender bags and chocolate on the pillows. A great stay and would recommend wholeheartedly.
