We chose Radfords Motel based on Trip Advisor reviews and it exceeds expectations. One of several hotels along the lake shore in Te Anau, Radfords is a typical two-storey small hotel, each apartment with its own car parking space in front. It looks much like the others in the strip, but inside the apartment-style rooms the owners have thought of... More

My wife and I stayed at Radfords for two nights on January 27 and 28, 2012. Our room was clean and comfortable with excellent furnishings and had a great view of the lake from our second floor room. The room was expensive for New Zealand, but Te Anau is a Fiordland gateway resort with limited beds so I think the... More

We stayed for 3 nights and I was a little confused as to why we were in a disabled room, why there was a single bed in the living area and the sofa (which I think was a sofa bed) was not particularly comfortable. However, the view of the lake, the staff's friendliness and the general location with it's proximity... More

We really expected more from this place for the price. Really underwhelming - staff were nice enough but nothing could make up for the horrid beds! They are visually sunken in the centre, when you sit on the couch you almost hit the bottom, they unplugged my phone that was charging while we were out of the room - not... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Lakeview Motel and it was perfect in every way. Clean, comfortable accommodation with excellent facilities. We had great views over the lake and the apartment was convenient for the local restaurants and supermarkets.If you want quality and comfort then this place is fully recommended. Very approachable friendly staff complete the perfect picture. More

We stayed 2 nights in one of the bottom floor spa suites. Very nice accommodation and although expensive compared with elsewhere he stayed in the regions, seemed worthwhile compared with the other accomodation and prices in Te Anau. We had no problems with noise from our upstairs neighbours, but we wanted a spa and the ground floor one was the... More

We had a decent size room (4) with a spa bath on the ground floor. The drawback with this room was that we felt it offered a lack of privacy. The room had a 32" LCD TV. video library $2/film, $2 for the washer, $2 tumble dryer, free wi-fi. Kerri was extremely helpful with local walks, Keplar Track ,Doubful Sound... More

By category this is supposed to be a 4+ star place and the number one place in Te Anau to stay. If it is I wouldn't want to see the other hotels and anywhere else this is a two or three star place. The host iy lovely and friendly and wifi works well and the location gives a lovely view.... More

We liked it here very much. The rooms are very clean and nice. The service was excellent, the reccomendations for things to do were perfect and overall this place deserves its high ranking!! My only caution is that I wish we had stayed upstairs instead of chosing a downstairs room. The family above us woke up EARLY and you could... More

We do try where possible to put large family groups on the ground floor but sometimes this is out of our control and we do very much regret that your sleep... More
