Radfords on the Lake

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Radfords on the Lake stands out for spotless, comfortable rooms with beautiful lake views, a walkable lakeside location, and exceptionally warm, proactive staff who offer thoughtful recommendations and assistance that elevate short and longer stays.

Spacious layouts, modern finishes, and handy kitchenettes are frequently highlighted. A few mention limited privacy on shared patios and occasional quirks such as a low showerhead or a less-comfy mattress, and some felt pricing was high for the offering. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a calm, well-run base for Te Anau and Fiordland activities.

You couldn’t find a better place to stay. Beautiful lake front property with a view, spotlessly clean, very friendly property manager, extremely comfortable and quiet property. I loved the heater in the bathroom for chilly mornings and the heated towel rack. Also, I mistakenly left behind a backpack with important contents and the property manager has been extremely helpful in getting the items shipped to me. So grateful!

This place was phenomenal!! Wonderfully situated on the lake with an ideal view and convenient (walking distance) to literally everything. Clean, comfy, and well-appointed. An excellent hostess who gave wonderful advice, booked all experiences, made reservations for dinner, you name it; this cannot be under-rated, as the weather conditions change rapidly in Fjordland and having someone who can help with bookings, advice, and changes of plans was immeasurably helpful! The little touches were amazing - water on hand to refill bottles, great laundry facilities, ease of parking, etc...Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

We had a lovely stay here, as we were touring on a Harley Davidson, Kerrie really looked after us and let us use the garage to keep the bike dry. The facilities here are superb, ask for room 14 which has one of the best lake views. Kerrie was an excellent host and really looks after the Customers. Breakfast in the room was great as well.

We were here only one night, but loved our stay! First, the staff is amazingly nice and kind! The location cannot be beat! It's legit right on the lake! We walked everywhere and the rooms are great! Highly recommend and was kind of sad we didn't have longer! We made our own dinner and sat outside at the table looking at the lake!

Amazing stop over in a lovely lakeside village. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Room and property were immaculate. Hotel offered beautiful views and walking proximity to all the town center has to offer. The kitchenette allowed us to grab some pasta at the grocery store and have a relaxed “home cooked” meal.

Highly recommend the Radford.

Fue el hotel más caro que pagamos en NZ y por mucho fue el que menos valor nos dió por nuestro dinero , es un motel de dos niveles sin elevador con el estacionamiento enfrente de las habitaciones , no tiene aviso socio ador en el baño , ni caja de seguridad , la ubicación igual q todos los hoteles frente al lago , hay muchas opciones iguales o mejores , con más onda para la zona y con mejores precios , el servicio de recepción muy amable , la regadera es para enanos hay q h agacharse para poder bañarse

A lovely apartment style Lodging... looked very new and was immaculate. Spacious, not over the top fancy, but very nicely decorated and top tier linens. One of the better places we've stayed in several weeks across NZ, beating out some 5 star places. Lovely view of the lake, but do note that your patio is the front door of your room and acts as a walkway connecting all the rooms so no privacy outside (you can pull the curtains Inside for total privacy). Would happily stay here again.

Special appreciation for Kerri who was incredibly kind to allow us to check in early. I had been battling food poisoning and needed to get to a bed earlier than normal check in. Not only did she get us in early, she also had recommendations on what to take to feel better and personally checked on my health the next day. That’s the kind of incredible customer service and human kindness that will make our stay at Radfords on the Lake unforgettable. Thank you Kerri!!
