Distinction Te Anau Hotel And Villas

10/10 Excellent
"The property was a little old, but it was comfortable enough for our family to stay for two nights. The bedrooms were cosy, and the best part was the recently renovated toilets and bathroom, which the kids really liked. The location was convenient, with local restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, and a petrol station all nearby. Breakfast was good too, although the same options were repeated every day. Overall, we had a pleasant stay with our family."

"Would highly recommend this property. The view is spectacular. The amenities are wonderful and you have everything you need here. If you just want to sleep there or if you want to have meals, they have thought of everything heated floors in the bathroom spray for the toilet room, ground coffee machine filled reusable water bottles for you to borrow. A great place to stay for a couple of days really appreciated the recommendation from staff on leaving early for Milford sound cruise to beat the traffic."
