    Our motel was immaculately clean & we loved the separate living area, which meant we could spread out. Kitchen had all that we needed, bathroom was well equipped. The weather was lovely so we appreciated the outdoor seating so we could enjoy the afternoon sunshine. We were able to walk to the main street for meals along the lakefront. The guest laundry was also a bonus.

    We had a great stay at Alpine View Motel. The room was very clean (even the sheets and towels smelt clean), the location was quiet and it was very comfortable for our family of five. We were given a generous bottle of milk upon arrival and the kitchen had all the key things we needed to make breakfast each morning. My children particularly enjoyed the on-site playground and it was a very easy walk to both the lake and into town. Thank you for a great stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay - would highly recommend ! The cottage is beautifully and considerately decorated and so comfy. Made a lovely change from motels - would have loved to stay longer ! The location is great, just a five minute walk from the waterfront and ten minutes from the shops. We were able to properly relax and enjoy the space. The only improvement we could think of is if there was a stove top for cooking (but we knew in advance that the property didn't have that so it's not a criticism).

    The private lake view room we had was perfect - like a hotel room with all the usual amenities, but with a really reasonable price. Good location close to town and you could also use the common facilities if you wanted to. We got a parking spot most of the time, but if not, there was free parking on the road.

    The hostel was conveniently located and on the waterfront. The staff were really polite and helpful. The room and bed were comfortable. There is free parking on site or on the roads at the front and back. There isn't a lot going on in Te Anau so for me it was a place to pass through on the way to Milford Sound
