Te Anau Hotels with Wifi

Located on the shores of Lake Te Anau, this hotel has 14 rooms. It's a luxury hotel apartment, or more accurately, a high-end motel. Originating in California, USA, it gained popularity with the rise of road trips, similar to American motels, European hostels or inns, and British B&Bs. In New Zealand, any accommodation where parking is connected to the room falls into this category. This one is adjacent to the lakeside trail, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and water. It's newly renovated and well-equipped, with a two-bedroom room particularly suitable for a family of three. However, compared to similarly priced five-star hotels, the service is less refined. A two-day stay, my first experience with a motel. It's neither the detached atmosphere of Edward Hopper's paintings, nor the ambiguity of Wim Wenders' writings, nor the gloom of *** Talese's shadows. Simply put, it's a clean and simple place to stay. Overall, it's a good place to stay in the town of Te Anau. One more thing: the rooms on the first floor are next to the parking lot, so privacy isn't ideal; the second floor is better. However, the first and second floors are randomly assigned upon arrival. Even if you booked the second floor through Ctrip, you may still be assigned to the first floor upon check-in. This was the problem I encountered on this trip.

This hotel was a perfect place to stay the night before heading to Milford Sound. The owner is Chinese, and in the quiet town of Te Anau, he felt incredibly friendly. We departed from Queenstown that evening and arrived after our 8 PM check-in time. After contacting Ctrip customer service, the front desk responded quickly. Upon arrival, the owner had thoughtfully printed a note on the desk, and the room was immaculately clean. The drive to the sound takes two hours, and there's a self-service gas station nearby, making it very convenient for refueling before departure and back in Queenstown. Overall, the stay was excellent.

I would have given this a 5-star rating. However, I deducted one star due to staff behaviour and a fire alarm that went off at 5:00 a.m., requiring guests to evacuate the hotel. Additionally, the staff could benefit from some customer service training, particularly in showing warmth and empathy toward guests. When we visited the front desk at 12:30 p.m. to enquire about an early check-in, the staff member was not at all understanding or accommodating. She bluntly say “No” and kept looking at her monitor without any reason.

Love this place very much. Very clean and spacious room, there were elderly friendly toilet & bathroom ( we had another bathroom with bathtub). The kitchen is well equipped. The view overlooking the lake was superb. Jetty to glowworms just in walking distance (1km). Numerous restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance as well (1-1.5km). You can just park your car in the apartment and walk slowly along the lake to enjoy the stunning scenery.

Really clean, comfortable stay, with everything you could need for a pleasurable stay in Te Anau. Receptionist was super helpful

The worst hotel in a 10-day trip. It's called a motel, but there are no kitchen facilities, and there is no public kitchen. The sanitary facilities are in poor condition, the faucet splashes, and the shower gel in the shower room is damaged. It usually receives Chinese group tourists, not suitable for self-driving tourists. The restaurant serves group dishes, and the price of a la carte dishes is very expensive. The chef is from Hebei, and the dishes are salty. The only good thing is that the guy at the front desk is very enthusiastic.

Lovely warm clean comfortable motel. Fantastic shower and lots warm bedding. Just a teeny disappointed we didn’t see any staff or management our entire stay of three nights. Obviously staffing shortages in the area but would have appreciated a friendly face at some stage.

This hotel is not recommended: 1. As a hotel located in Ti'anau, the entire hotel has more than ten parking spaces. The parking spaces have to be grabbed. I don't know if I thought it was in Queenstown. 2. The door lock is very old and difficult to open. At the beginning, I couldn't open the door after taking the key. I must open the lock at the same time + the door to push inside to open it. 3. The price is not cheap, the price is more than 900, the village inn next door is less than 800, and the so-called lake view room is also covered by the roof on the first floor of their house.

The door lock to the bathroom is not working. Light in bathroom is flickering. Need some maintenance. But good thing is it is very clean despite the old hotel. Location is good too.

There is basically no service in foreign hotels. No one at the front desk left the key in the envelope and searched for it for a while. It would be better to specify the method of collecting the key when booking, especially on rainy days.
