There was no staff in attendance for check in due to ongoing staff shortages. Room information advertised Mapapouri Power Station Tours which were suspended in 2018.

Compact, refurbished property. Well finished. Lake front and walks across the road. Only downside was that the lounge seating - bucket chairs - was not comfortable. a nice lounge sofa would be better.

Stayed here a few times and this room ( superior / upgraded rooms) was a lot fresher than the Standard one. Te anau is a very seasonal place and so the premium prices in peak hiking season may seem off comparing against property elsewhere. Great thing that it has a nice bed ( I like medium firm), shower, and the location is perfect for a lakefront stroll. Unfortunately the last few nights stayed there had been not reception team on deck but a friendly message that they’re short staffed. I understand, but I hope you find a team one day soon.

Home surrounded by motels

It seems the hotel bought the house next door to rent as a “villa.” It’s a nice place to spread out, especially for two. Washer was especially welcome. It need a few fix-it’s to make it better, but I’d stay here again.

Room was fine, if a little small but was adequate. There was no service at all from the front desk. The laundry facilities for guests appeared to be used for sheets and towels, ie for motel staff to use for their purposes which struck us as odd. There were no outside shared spaces, bbq, etc. We found a small on the grass across the driveway. The motel had EV chargers but only for staff use.
