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.

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!

Nice stay for Milford Sound and Fiordland
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!

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.
