Marakura Deluxe Motel

What guests think

At Marakura Deluxe Motel, travellers consistently praise the stunning lakefront views and generally clean, spacious units with useful kitchenettes, while noting the walkable location near town; however, experiences vary with room allocation, housekeeping consistency, and occasional maintenance or comfort issues.

Many guests find the rooms modern, comfortable, and quiet, though some mention dated furniture or leaky showers. Service is often friendly with easy check in, but responsiveness and after-hours support can be hit and miss, and refund or room-assignment policies disappointed a few. Some noted ground-floor privacy issues and occasional traffic noise, and on-site leisure facilities or breakfast availability appeared limited or inconsistent. Expect practical, apartment-style comfort in a holiday-park environment.

We had a wonderful stay. Great location to town and main events. A 4 star was given because I had contacted the manager in regards to needing propane for the grill and in our 3 night stay in was not replaced and also about another concern with a ceiling light and never received a response back from manger. Also hot tub was broken??

We stayed here for 2 nights with a family of 5, we had a family suite which had a king bed in 1 room and 3 singles in the other room which was really cute with our 3 kids. We didn’t spend too much time at the hotel with all of our activities but it was fine. I did (try to) cook breakfast one morning and my only advice would be to have a non-stick pan in the rooms. Office staff were very pleasant. Would stay there again.

The property has various types of lodging facilities - from rooms, to cottages to apartments and caravan park. There is no breakfast per se. The location is great - around 5 minutes drive from the city center. You can also walk for around 10-15 mins to be there. The city center has quite a few restaurants and eating options. Self parking withing the property is very convenient and fast. Would stay here again for sure !!

In a beautiful spot with friendly staff. Only thing is, that’s not evident in the advertising, is it sits in a camping ground. Having said that though, I didn’t hear a thing and my room was very close to the camping area.

Room service was poor. You don't get any if you forget to put the green card out. But even if you put the card out and the wind blows it down, you also don't get room service. You get only 4 Kleenex and they are not replenished. You have to go to the office every day to request your coffee. Asian guests walk in front of your private area if you have a ground floor suite, no effort is made to inform guests of proper etiquette. Apart from this, room was spacious and had a kitchenet with electric double burners, fridge and microwave. Foldable outdoor chairs and table was a nice touch. There are better places to stay.

Have stayed here twice, one night before a trip to Milford Sound and then a night on our return. Very nice unit, well equipped kitchen with cook top, mwave and fridge with small freezer. Rather leaky shower door in both units but shower was good, great pressure. Beds were comfortable. Only issue would be the inconsistent cleaning of the rooms, first night was much cleaner and prepped than the second. Would recommend this resort/hotel. It’s close to town and an easy walk.

Rooms were just ok with tired furniture and leaky shower! The service was average and they gave us a room on the ground floor when we had reserved the upstairs w balcony views. The lower floor room is visible to all walking by so you have to keep the sheets on the whole time. They need to ensure they distinguish the room types. Not planning to stay here again.

All of our trips were cancelled by the tour company so coming to Te Anau was redundant. The staff whilst friendly, wouldn’t offer a refund (or partial refund) so we lost all our money. Shame really.

The rooms were clean and check in was simple. My issue was that we booked this place because of the breakfast included. Not only was there no breakfast, I was told there would be no coffee until 8:30. We needed to leave by 8am so we missed out. What hotel or motel waits until 8:30 am to begin to serve coffee or breakfast.
