10/10 Excellent
"Would definitely stay here again but cirst off theres no microwave and thats fine honestly. Wasnt a huge hassle tbh but could be something that would turn people off. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. Main issues were definitely just the amenities, the fridge freezer was a little broken so it slushied all our drinks since the cold leaked from it. Shower was also a little wonky, despite wanting warm water, it would go very cold to very hot for a second which can be unpleasant at times. However its a comfy stay, lots of parking and room, convenient location to explore the central town."

"This was one of our favorite stays in New Zealand. The lake view is so beautiful and the grounds were absolutely stunning in March with cherry trees blooming. We appreciated how close we were to the town center and enjoyed eating at the Ranch and watching the movie at the Black Dog. We had an overnight cruise planned to Doubtful Sound so at the staff's suggestion we drove to Milford sound to take in the views. That was a remarkable day that we would have missed out on otherwise. We were able to wash our clothes at their laundry facility for free and drying was a nominal charge. We had a very restful stay and highly recommend this location for your visit to Te Anau."
