Guests can relax and enjoy the views and surrounding lovely gardens. Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments are 10 minutes’ walk from Te Anau Town Centre.

We loved this hotel. We booked last minute and didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be one of the nicest places that we stayed in New Zealand. Our room seemed brand new and incredibly well thought out. Heated floors, great kitchen, electronic shades, and a view from the shower out thru the living room on to the lake. There are 2 buildings. One is new and the other is older so not sure if you can expect the same type of room in the older building. Location is close the main street with shops and restaurants.

Free Wi-Fi, free BBQ facilities and free parking are on offer at Lakeside Motel & Apartments. It is located 5 minutes’ walk from Te Anau Wildlife Park and features accommodation with lake or garden views.

The view is excellent, and the balcony is nice though windy and chilly in winter but at least we took nice pictures from the balcony. The wifi is good and the heater worked well. The location is good, nice to walk along the lake and not far from the central city.

Amber Court Motel offers modern accommodation in a quiet location, just 2 minutes’ walk from Lake Te Anau. All units include kitchenette facilities, satellite TV and electric blankets. Guest enjoy free Wi-Fi access daily.

This review covers all my stays here totaling a little over a week, as I was in town for an extended period doing both the Kepler Track and Milford Track. The staff here really went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible and to make planning for the Great Walks as easy as possible. When my car had a flat tire, they offered to drive me to the service station if needed. When they saw me changing the tire myself, they offered to help and offered their tools. They also made sure my car was safe during both Great Walks. When I returned from my first Great Walk, they even remembered my pillow preference and had the room already set up that way. The room itself was great. Everything was very clean. Decent sized living room to hang out in. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and modern. Great shower; both the shower head and the water pressure. The motel is less than a five minute walk to the DOC Visitor Center, making it very convenient for Great Walk transportation. It's a short ten minute walk to all the restaurants and shops.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    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
