Hostels in Southland, New Zealand

Wonder stay! The room is very clean and the staff is super friendly! This is a family run hotel, and they are nice people. The location is perfect-short walk to the lake and away from the hustle and bustle of the main road and town. We got good sleep in Aden .

The hotel is conveniently located near Real NZ, making it easy to join various local tours. Parking is right outside the room, and there's a kitchen where you can easily cook noodles. It's also just a few minutes' drive to the large supermarket, Fresh Choice, which is really handy.

Super good view that facing Te Anau Lake, a big garden balcony where you can spend your time for sunrise / sunset, friendly staff & the washing machine is free to use (free detergent as well!), dryer with a fee (coin). Walking distance to RealNZ info center/restaurant/shops

I would have given this a 5-star rating. However, I deducted one star due to staff behaviour and a fire alarm that went off at 5:00 a.m., requiring guests to evacuate the hotel. Additionally, the staff could benefit from some customer service training, particularly in showing warmth and empathy toward guests. When we visited the front desk at 12:30 p.m. to enquire about an early check-in, the staff member was not at all understanding or accommodating. She bluntly say “No” and kept looking at her monitor without any reason.

There is a parking space, no extra bed, no breakfast, the hotel is located in the park.

A small apartment with privacy and parking in front of the door. Not the newest but very well equipped, especially the kitchen. There were various cooking utensils and coffee, tea and hot chocolate. It is very spacious and you can sit comfortably at a table or work because the WiFi is reliable and stable. You can wash and dry laundry. The motel is right on the main road and therefore it is a bit noisy when there is a lot of traffic. It is also a bit outside the city center. However, shops are within walking distance.

Although the equipment is relatively old, the price is relatively low. As long as the hygiene and service are good, you are basically satisfied.

Couldn t had been any better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our 2 rooms had everything we needed , very cosy and warm . Very easy check in and check out ; I had emergency business to attend to , an the Lady at reception was ever so helpful....great shower pressure. great beds .....Washing machines very easy to use and located . Thank you All was great .....

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.

If you are getting the ground floor unit, it ca be quite warm (June). The windows can be fully open widely , missing a latch where you can open decent gap for winds to come in without opening too wide. The room is spacious. Clean washroom. Missing a heater iinside the bathroom.
