Ryokans in Fiordland National Park

"Room was clean and spacious - also nice and warm. Kitchen was fully equipped and free use of washing machines. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Easy walking to town centre and a beautiful view of Lake Te Anau. "

"Nice property, rooms are a little smaller than they appear on the photos but fairly standard size for this kind of place. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and parking was very easy. Only thing to be aware of is the shared bathrooms get very cold at night since they leave the windows open so be prepared if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night."

"The price was good, the rooms were nice and large. Rooms and hotel in general are older, but in reasonable condition. Not really soundproof, as it was at times quite noisy from the hall or adjacent rooms. Fine for a short stay. Apparently, there is a restaurant on site, but only open depending on the number of guests staying at the hotel. Not to matter, plenty of dining options in town."

"The staff were great, without them I wouldn’t bother to review. It all looks very very dated…like nothing has been upgraded for about 25 years. Our room had a small double bed and a single so we slept in separate beds…the mattresses were comfy but the single bed was pushed up against the wall and the pillows were terrible, really cheap, flat and thin. Old towels a bit threadbare. There was a cold night so we put the heating on, next morning there were pools of water from condensation dripping off the windowsills in the room. A few slamming doors from other rooms but otherwise ok from 9pm on. It’s not terrible, it’s clean…it’s a decent location for Milford Sound 2 hour drive away unless you’re staying in the limited accommodation actually in Milford Sound."

"Loved our stay with Top Ten Te Anau. Quite peaceful and close proximity to lake, cafes and restaurants. "

"The laundry service was good, very clean and efficient washing machines and driers. The bed mattress, in our room was very uncomfortable, a suggestion would be to consider replacing it. The end unit was under an external stairwell leading to units above, when the stairs were in use it was noisey. Lovely motel overall. Suggestion; Book for units upstairs and/ or not end units on lower floor."

"We stayed in the refurbished train car and it was pretty funky . The shower was an old tub with a Gerry rigged shower head and the toilet was in a very small room( original bathroom) with a sink with broken fixtures. However it was definitely one of the most unique places we have stayed at and everything did work ok . Just felt like we were camping indoors. It was cozy I must admit. Very nice staff good breakfast "

"This is a two star hotel parading as four. The rooms are OK but the hotel is basically a tour group sleep-over for Milford Sound. The pricing is outrageous for the quality. The buffet breakfast simply awful. Parking is convenient, although open air and good location to the only EV charger anywhere between Queenstown and Milford."

"Our room was very clean. The hotel manager gave us excellent restaurant recommendations."
