Lakefront Lodge was the perfect place to stay for our stopover before heading to Milford Sound. The room was well equipped and clean. Loved the picnic tables provided by each room as well…perfect for morning tea or evening takeaway! The location was great as well with easy access to the lakefront walking/biking path and town. Would stay here again when stopping over in Te Anau!

Family of 4 with 2 small children. We enjoyed the large jet tub and separate bedroom/door so that we could sleep in two different areas. Only complaint is the room is hot in the summer months (you have to leave windows open and get bugs, or use two very small fans to cool the rooms). Otherwise, it's within easy walking distance to the center of town/food and just feet away from the lake. Would definitely stay again.

Basic accommodation, with a great host

Basic accommodation in a fairly old building, Like most of the prices we saw for Te Anau rentals, it was not good value for the money when compared to all the other places we had stayed on South Island. The room also lacked air conditioning and with a wall of west facing non insulated windows, it made for an very hot room that was difficult to cool down or create a flow of air as you needed to leave the door open to achieve this. There was a fan available, but this had little effect. Interne was poor and kicked us off every time we left the building.The host on the other hand offered great service and was very sweet and accommodating. She made us feel very welcom.

Comfy but not a modern hotel

Comfy & spacious. Looked out onto the road rather than “lake view”. No net curtains so lacked privacy. Close to town & lake. Friendly welcome.

Beautifully attended, clean, comfortable place. The lake is just steps away across a street. Restaurants and grocery stores are within walking distance. Picnic tables outside each room are perfect for a relaxing bleakfast or even working on laptop. We'll stay again at Lakefront Lodge if we can go back to Te Anau!

Our second night stay was the same as the first, it was pretty wonderful. We were originally booked in two separate rooms for each of our nights there, but the property management switched it so that we were in the same room both nights, which was absolutely amazing to us. This place is worth it!

First I would like to say that we almost missed out check in time due to an accident blocking the main road from Queenstown the Te Anau. We left messages for the staff and they made accommodations for us to be able to get into the room very late at night and well after check in. They were incredibly courteous and hospitable. The lady we talked to in the morning was super nice and understanding of our situation. The place itself was nice and clean, but a tad outdated. That said, it was comfortable and spacious. Over all, this is a wonderful place to stay.
