Mitchell Corp in Te Anau Hill from NZ$238

"I received a message from the hotel, but they never replied my message for late checkin question. The front desk staff was not friendly. She seems unhappy when dealing with customers. "

"We chose this location as we knew it would be a bit quirky, and it definitely delivered on this. The check in time was chaotic, with only one person and a short time period to arrive, lots of campers without reservations were queueing up to be booked in. Our motel unit had all the amenities we needed, with a full kitchen. The shower was hot, with good water pressure, all good as long as you aren't too tall. The decor was a slice of the Swiss Alps :-) We could park right outside our unit and it had an awesome view of the lake and mountains from the living area. There was no road noise at night, and the location was very convenient for an early morning trip to Doubtful Sound. While the surfaces e.g. kitchen and bathroom in the unit were clean, there was a lot of dust and grime behind furniture, on skirting boards etc. - suggest that these are in need of a deep clean. Washing machines (x2) and dryers (x2) were at the main utilities area; because it was around teatime and people were using microwaves etc. in the same block, the power cut out and we needed to find a staff member to reset the breaker/fuse. You need $2 coins for these - available from reception during check in time."

"Clean rooms, great location, easy check-in check-out."

"Very old and dated. Not even a Smart TV. Dined in the in-house restaurant only to be told that we had to vacate the table in an hour. We were intending to spend the evening there. Would not return and would not recommend. Also, it's very deceiving have 2 Hotels called the Distinction in a small place like Te Anau. "

"Very clean and comfortable room."

"Was very good, not on the main road but close enough. Very nice place."

"Short walking distance to shops and amenities. Easy to park. Fairly spacious room with all the basic utensils you need. Comfy bed and sofa. Ample towels and flannels. Friendly check in staff. Only downside was the wet room style shower. Just not our preference having a permanently wet bathroom floor, even with the fan on constantly."

"Beautiful place to stay. The accommodation was modern and very clean. The gardens were lovely and immaculate and the added bonus was that we could see the lake, perfect. We didn’t want to leave after two nights. I would highly recommend this motel. "

"Clean room. No microwave "
