Great little motel. Large clean rooms with everything you need. Friendly staff, plenty of parking. Ground floor rooms open up onto gardens with lakefront views. You can watch the seaplanes land on the lake. Easy, flat walk into the town centre.

Holiday stay with a view
Very clean and tidy, and spacious Comfortable beds. The under floor heating in bathroom and toilet was lovely. Plus there was a small wardrobe and shelves for suitcases. We had an upstairs unit with great ever changing views of the lake.
Do be aware if you are upstairs you have quite a few stairs to carry your luggage up.

Fantastic stay
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Te Anau itself is lovely and the views over the lake from the property are stunning. Beautiful place and really well run. Clean and good value for money.

Great Location and Walkable to Town and Tours
We enjoyed our 2 nights at the Lakeside Motel in Te Anau with beautiful views of the lake. Check in and out were a breeze and 2nd floor room was clean and met all our needs. Location is convenient for walking to restaurants and tour companies. Parking available on site.

Great
Great hotel, lovely staff that were flexible with check in and check out times. Wonderful location on lake front and close to town. Only negative WiFi was poor, kept disconnecting and flaky logging on, but had exactly same problem in two restaurants, so it’s probably a local provider issue.

Lake front view
Our room has lake front view. Parking lot is cleverly on the back so I think most rooms had lake view. It is easy walking distance to restaurants. There is a walking path along the lake.

Great place to stay
Have stayed here before and loved it, this is a return trip. Close enough to town to walk.
What I think needs improvement is the frying pan is not nonstick. Everything Wales was great.

Nice stay in a nice place!
Our host at reception was excellent — warm, welcoming, friendly and very helpful. While this is a basic motel, it had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay in a wonderful town.
