Location: The hotel is located across from Lake Te Anau which also leads to Manapouri which is our intended destination for Doubtful Sound cruise.
Parking: The 2 BR cabin was conveniently located at the front of the park (which is huge) and parked right in front of the cabin.
Rooms: The cabin is split into 3 distinct areas - 1 large bedroom with queen bed, 1 bathroom in center of cabin, 1 bedroom with 2 single beds - since I was with family we had the whole cabin with the bathroom in center of the 2 cabins.
Facilities: It was nice that they have fast Wifi and laundry rooms across the park. Used the laundry facilities and it was well maintained. We also rented their lockers to store our luggage as we had to take an overnight cruise at Doubtful Sound.
High cost performance, parking space is very convenient. But the exhaust fan can't be turned on and it's a bit stuffy. The surrounding is very convenient, go to the supermarket and take the fjord bus.
I can absolutely recommend this place..it was delightful and very reasonably priced, possibly because it is not on the waterfront, but the cabin and service well and truly makes up for it's less than prime position. Could have stayed there for much longer.
We spent one night, having driven down from Wanaka and intending to continue to the Milford Sound tour the following day. Donna was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The history of the building was fascinating, and the antique decor and trinkets added to the charm. Breakfast the following morning was great- wonderful scrambled eggs. Thank you!

The reception staff were very warm and friendly and even gave us a bottle of milk. We had requested a family room with a tower view, and the location was perfect – we could see the tower directly from our living room. Queen's Park is also just across the street. The only downside was the cooktop in the kitchenette; it was either too fast or very slow to heat up, quite old-fashioned, and difficult to use. Additionally, the motel requires guests to park their car directly outside their own room, and parking in other spots is not permitted.

Parking is very convenient, you can park at the door of your room, and it is free, very suitable for self-driving tour.

GGuest UserThe room details stated that children were welcome, but when we checked in, we were told that if we added a child, we would not be able to book the room (because the child slept in the middle and did not need an extra bed, so only 2 adults were added during the reservation) and we had to cancel our reservation. They said the hotel didn't want so many guests and that the law didn't allow it. Finally, we were asked to pay an additional 30 dollars and were given the key. They originally added a $30 child fee (which would be completely understandable if they had told us directly), and we got the feeling that this hotel hated children and discriminated against Asians. The whole check-in process was very unpleasant. Overall facilities are acceptable and the location is good. But due to the bad check-in experience, I was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Negotiations to cancel the stay were made throughout the evening, but to no avail. The manager had a tough attitude and did not apologize from beginning to end, which ruined my good mood for the whole day.
圣圣代千层雪A motel run by a Chinese mother and daughter is 3 kilometers away from Invercargill city center. There are fast food restaurants and two large home appliances cities. The room itself is not large, but the bed is a good size. We only stayed for one night, so Yes, you need to take a bath or detergent at night

SSh3NI really like this place as it is cosy. Not too big and not too small. Just the perfect size. The amenities provided are all nice , proper and very useful.

GGuest UserThe 4-person room with bathroom, a big bed, a high and low bed, the bedding does not look white enough, people with cleanliness may not adapt, but there is no problem sleeping all night, no smell, no uncomfortable atmosphere, it does not look very clean. The camp is small, but there are facilities.
The management staff is very good and very enthusiastic. There is no problem in the pursuit of cost-effectiveness.
