Rooms feature kitchenettes, outdoor picnic tables, on-site parking and a guest laundry; some include jet tubs. Common drawbacks include no air conditioning leading to warm rooms in summer, dated or tired decor in places, and limited lake views from rooms. Expect a simple, comfortable motel-style stay.

Lakefront Lodge was the perfect place to stay for our stopover before heading to Milford Sound. The room was well equipped and clean. Loved the picnic tables provided by each room as well…perfect for morning tea or evening takeaway! The location was great as well with easy access to the lakefront walking/biking path and town. Would stay here again when stopping over in Te Anau!

Family of 4 with 2 small children. We enjoyed the large jet tub and separate bedroom/door so that we could sleep in two different areas. Only complaint is the room is hot in the summer months (you have to leave windows open and get bugs, or use two very small fans to cool the rooms). Otherwise, it's within easy walking distance to the center of town/food and just feet away from the lake. Would definitely stay again.

Very clean and well looked after. It is like staying in someone's home. The furniture and fittings are old-fashioned but very comfortable, especially the recliner lounge chairs. There is a kitchenette equipped with a bar fridge, toaster, microwave, jug and cooktop. The manager made us feel welcome. Although the rooms do not have water views as they face the side street, the cabins are in a great location directly across the road from the lake. We walked each night beside the lake and just enjoyed the tranquility and beautiful scenery. It is also quite close to the tourist office (Real N.Z.) where you can board the boat to take you on the Glow-worm Cave tour. There is also a seaplane there for flights over Milford or Doubtful Sound. This is a comfortable and affordable place to stay which allows you to prepare some meals and has a laundry with washing machine and dryer which is also handy if you are on an extended holiday.

Convenient location for our day trip to Milford Sound, located within walking distance to the town centre. Parking available on-site, right outside your doorstep. Room was spacious and equipped with decent heating. The property itself is a little tired looking and could use some sheer curtains across the main windows to allow some light in while maintaining a level of privacy.

The staff were very helpful in advice and booking tours. The Lodge is close to town and very central to adventure into either Doubtful Sound or Milford Sound. The area is spectacular.

Lakefront Lodge was a perfect overnight stay for us while in Te Anau. The staff were very helpful and kind. There was no issue leaving a bag overnight while we stayed on Doubtful Sound. The location is great for a lakefront walk and close to the amenities of town. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. There were cooking facilities although we didn't use them. Would stay again.
Lakefront Lodge was a perfect overnight stay for us while in Te Anau. The staff were very helpful and kind. There was no issue leaving a bag overnight while we stayed on Doubtful Sound. The location is great for a lakefront walk and close to the amenities of town. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. There were cooking facilities although we didn't use them. Would stay again.

Nice warm room, comfortable furniture and bed made for a great night sleep. Location is a easy stroll to town and the bus pickup point for Milford.
