We found the staff very pleasant and helpful. The room was clean but outdated. The location was close to town but the rooms faced the road so there was not much privacy and having the curtains open felt exposed. We found the place rather expensive only because its about the same price as a much newer and nicer place in... More

Thanks for your review. Te Anau is a seasonal town and to be able to stay in business rates are set at peak times to make hay while the sun shine so to speak. Queenstown operates by a set of different rules, as winter is their busy time. If people wish to spend a day of their holiday to include... More

The room was fine,bed pillows etc good. Reception was nice and helpful. As others have said the side street that all the windows and door opens onto can be very busy even early in the morning. Having said that it didnt worry us. There is a nice table out the side where you can sit and have a drink or... More

Stayed here two nights. Room was comfortable and well equipped though basic. All rooms front onto a road and although this is only a side road one felt a bit exposed as there were a large number of pedestrians passing at all hours. If you are sitting in your room or at the outside table this is not ideal. Very... More

Stayed for 4 nights in February. The room was spacious, clean and well-equipped. The large french windows looked out over the road, which got quite busy and loud in the mornings and evenings. We found the windows took away some of our privacy (people often walking by and looking in to the room), but it was not too bad. The... More

Thanks for your review and it has been noted about the privacy problem. Due to the tinted windows it is harder for people to view in your unit as it is for you to view out. We are seriously looking at putting up light voile curtains that guest can use or not at their own discretion. More

Pros: Very good location right in front of the lake Te Anau . Good place to stay for a few days to discover Milford Sound and surrondings. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Cons: In our SPA bath only two nozzles were working. The rooms are looking at the side street and not at the lake itself. Not very convinient for... More

Spent 2 nights in a Studio, bathroom with wet shower and seperate cold/hot sink taps. Good location. Three seconds after you set the water temp in the shower it changed, this happened all thru showering which wasn't fun.

I would highly recommend this hotel. It is clean, well-appointed and in an excellent location for walking to sights, shops and bus tours. After a very pleasant three nights at Lakefront Lodge, we left our Bose headphones and another important item in a drawer in our room. We discovered this the afternoon before we were to leave Queenstown to return... More

Friendly and helpful owners, very comfortable and well equipped room in a good location near the Lake. Lots of choices of restaurants and shops a short walk away in the town. No problems with sand flies this side of the Lake but be prepared if you go into the forest on the opposite side. We went to Milford Sound from... More

We stayed two nights at the Lakefront Lodge in January. The rooms were beautifully appointed and easily accessible due to all being on ground-level. A short walk of under 5 minutes gets you into town, to restaurants, and to the lake. We found the owners very supportive and knowledgeable, and they even generously provided us with a laptop and free... More
