I mostly loved our stay at Distinction Te Anau. The staff were amazing, the food was excellent, and we had beautiful views of the lake. It looks like renovations are underway. The bathrooms felt modern, while the bedrooms were a bit dated. One important note if you have mobility issues like me: you may be placed at the very end of the hall. I understand why, as there’s parking at the back and a shorter walk from the car, but if your plan is to enjoy the hotel facilities (breakfast, dinner, laundry, etc.), definitely ask for a ground-floor room closer to reception. That long walk had me rethinking my life choices… especially on the way from breakfast 😭. Accessibility aside, I genuinely loved our stay and would absolutely return! Now that I know exactly what to ask for next time! 🌿🏞️

The room was clean, roomy and well stocked. The staff was efficient and friendly. The hotel location is great! The decor is a little bit dated, and the use of bright white lightbulbs is a little uncomfortable. Overall, this is a great and comfortable place to base your activity in the region from!

Good option for stay, great sauna on site. Rooms are a bit unique, but do the job if you are dropping in to get to Milford. We preferred food in town but had breakfast at the hotel and that had a great assortment of options. Super clean rooms and super helpful staff for requests and concerns. This is not a place I would vacation persay, but a great place to get a good nights rest!

Stayed for one night at the Distinction Te Anau. The room was clean, but a bit dated. Bathrooms looked recently upgraded/remodeled. The property is right on the lake and we had a nice lakeside view. Staff at the property were friendly and attentive. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from most of the restaurants although there are a few right next door. My stay offered free breakfast, and it was quite a nice breakfast spread. There was toast, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit, eggs (scrambled and boiled eggs), multiple juices, etc. and coffee. There were also decent little pastries. Their coffee was also pretty good. Usually hotel coffee for these types of things is pretty bad. If you are looking to go to Milford Sound a nice option is to stay in Te Anau for 1 or 2 nights and get the tour from here. The tour cost is substantially lower and you don't have to do the entire bus drive (5 hours ish from Queenstown) in one day which is a very long drive. Overall a good experience.

Great location, clean, great views and hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. The only thing to be aware of is the hotel appears to accommodate a lot of bus groups, so if you're looking for a more quaint environment, there are likely better choices.

This is an excellent hotel, we had a villa which was so spacious as we are away for an extended time we have lots of bags. I cannot praise the staff enough, from reception, bar and restaurant to housekeeping, everyone was great, even let me check out late for no cost when our trip plans got changed at the last minute
