We were greated very warmly by the owner, and we received so much advise that we could not do it all in the short time;-) The facilities and furnishing are a little bit old-fashioned but completely sufficient for a short stay. We felt very comfortable. The owners could offer good contact to most of the tour operators at Milford Sound... More

Stayed 4 nights in March and had really good weather so did a lot of walking of some of Kepler track, and Key Summit. The Motel host was very knowledgeable about local activities. The accommodation was very clean and the cooking facilities were fine, including the token electric frying pan which I'm sure is a kiwi icon. I'm seriously thinking... More

While staying in Te Anau with friends, my travel buddy and I wanted to drive to Milford Sound and also hike the Kepler Track, but the weather forecast was rather foul and just downright confusing. We went to the DOC, where the staff was completely unhelpful in providing almost any information or advice. We were standing in their office looking... More

We stayed two days, checking out the glow worms and Milford Road. The host was so very helpful in giving us ideas for activities and sightseeing. He made sure we had everything we needed in our room. The kitchen area was great for fixing our meals.

We stayed 2 nights at the Alpenhorn motel and enjoyed it. When we first drive in we were quite worried, but the unit was surprisingly good for the price. We had a queen bed in the living room which was comfy and the room very spacious. There were also 3 singles in a separate room that was able to be... More

Booked a 2 nights stay and as it was very busy when we wanted to visit so the Alpenhorn was not our first choice to stay. When we arrived the accommodation was not the most inspiring from the outside to say the least. There was another family waiting in a car as there was a note on the office door... More

No frills motel, some facilities could be a bit old, but generally clean and well maintain. the location is walking distance to the lake, which could be great if you got time to look around. not the 'nicest' motel we stayed in NZ, certain things like the 'trampoline for kids' looked really old aged. the deco is so so, garden...

In case you arrive in Te Anau without your agenda mapped out, don’t worry – just ask Tony! His local knowledge is extensive and he freely shares it with his guests. He offered us advice on which cruises to take on Milford & /Doubtful Sound, hiking trails around Lake Manapouri and walks to take around Lake Te Anau and through... More
