We had a one bedroom unit which had quality furniture etc. This included an excellent large lounge area which had very comfortable seating. The kitchen area was well equipped, including, for example, a really sharp vegetable knife (how rare is that). Each room has an outside bench with an integral table looking out onto a side road, but if you... more

Basic, clean motel accomodation, circa 1980's. Nothing flash. Calling it "Lakefront" is something of a misnomer -no lake views. We drove into town without a booking so it was a case of beggers can't be choosers. Staff helpful with arranging tour of Milford Sound. Would have rated it better if not for the price. It was definitely not worth the... more

We were in New Zealand on our honeymoon, and stayed our first night in Te Anau in the Garden Court, which was nice but very basic. The second night we stayed at the Lakefront, and couldn't have been happier. The proprietor was extremely friendly and had good suggestions for where to eat in town (though if you're looking for gourmet,... more

This is a motel, single story, drive up to your room motel. It was clean and comfortable. No complains, but no tremendous endorsements either. This was simply a place for us to sleep on the night before our drive into Milford Sound and the night of. Don't expect Te Anau to have any fabulous places. This one was just fine... more

Whle the studio room was comfortable, the furnishings were quite basic. There was a meter box outside our room which was very loud at times during the night. There was no wardrobe, just a few coathooks by the bed. There was little privacy as all rooms face a busy main road. While the name of the establishment suggests lake frontage,... more

The owner here is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We chose a studio suite and were extremely impressed. The room was large and spotlessly clean, and the kitchen looked almost new. The bed was also very comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and was also new-looking, with a good large shower and heated towel rails. It was also cheap at... more

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at the Lakeshore Lodge and enjoyed our stay. The room was not facing the lake but there are picnic tables outside each room to enjoy the view of the lake. The hosts were great - they recommended tours and booked them for us, which was great. However, I would still recommend researching all... more

This hotel isn't on the lakeside: it runs along a busy road at right angles to the lake. The rooms have a glass door and window filling the whole of the side facing the road, so if you want some privacy you'll probably keep the blinds closed. The parking and entrance to the rooms are on the side away from... more

We stayed for 3 nights in March 2005. The accommodation was spacious and nicely appointed though without views of the lake - the units face a road. We were not bothered by road noise and the heating was quite adequate (it was chilly outside). The units are conveniently located and the host was friendly and helpful. Would stay there again. more
