“In my opinion, this hotel's setting on four acres overlooking Lake Te Anau remains a strong draw, despite some acknowledged wear and tear. The indoor pool and on-site recreation add appeal for families exploring Fiordland National Park. However, travelers should anticipate that some facilities require attention.”

surprising stay!

The karaoke was fun. We had a chill night using it! the kids enjoyed the playing area. it features a pool table, billiards, and some toys. this made the place especially nice, and i was very pleased.

the entrance looked very shabby and untidy! the grounds needed care. it is such a shame it has been let go and run down, as it has beautiful views.
