At the motel each room is fitted with air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kitchenette, a dining area and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a shower and a hairdryer. At Annies on Milford every room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

We were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of this hotel! The spacious room was immaculate with fantastic natural lighting through the open window. The inclusion of a TV with Netflix was the cherry on top, and the convenience of a kitchenette and fridge for storing food added to the overall positive experience. We regret not extending our stay beyond just one night!

Motel is very well located , 2 min drive from Te Anau Center and right by the lake (5 mins walk). The place was super clean , even cleaned every day we stayed there. It’s a great base to explore the area and visit Milford sound on a day trip. A stove top for cooking would have been the cherry on the cake :-)

    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
