We had a 3 night stay, bed comfortable, room clean, quiet and heating worked well the room had everything we needed. Shower could have had more pressure and water a bit hotter but it did the job. No real view of the lake from our room just a tiny faction which was disappointing specially as we spent a full afternoon in the room as it poured rain all day so would have been nice to look out over the lake. Walking distance to cafes etc, we did drive as it was so wet. Great base to do Milford sound. Would stay again, staff were very friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

Basic accommodation, with a great host

Basic accommodation in a fairly old building, Like most of the prices we saw for Te Anau rentals, it was not good value for the money when compared to all the other places we had stayed on South Island. The room also lacked air conditioning and with a wall of west facing non insulated windows, it made for an very hot room that was difficult to cool down or create a flow of air as you needed to leave the door open to achieve this. There was a fan available, but this had little effect. Interne was poor and kicked us off every time we left the building.The host on the other hand offered great service and was very sweet and accommodating. She made us feel very welcom.

First I would like to say that we almost missed out check in time due to an accident blocking the main road from Queenstown the Te Anau. We left messages for the staff and they made accommodations for us to be able to get into the room very late at night and well after check in. They were incredibly courteous and hospitable. The lady we talked to in the morning was super nice and understanding of our situation.
The place itself was nice and clean, but a tad outdated. That said, it was comfortable and spacious. Over all, this is a wonderful place to stay.

A great place to stay just across from the lake. Perfect for our trip to Doubtful Sound. Very clean, with great comfy beds and lounge furniture. Everything we needed.

Nice place for a 2 night stay while visiting Milford. Comfortable place. 5 min drive to restaurants and grocery. Morning walks around the lake and star gazing were lovely. No view of lake from the room. Room faces the road so not ideal for opening the curtains in the room.

We immediately were happy with our choosing this lodge to stay in after our great check in experience with Kim. She was personable and helpful with suggesting beautiful sunset view walks and other hikes. We stayed so we could drive into Milford sound the next day for hiking. Close to walk to grocery store and town center. Big room! We would recommend this to friends and family, we would also stay here again ourselves. Thank you Kim and team!

Nice stay for Milford Sound and Fiordland

Great spot, loved the sunny afternoon picnic table lanai!
Walk along the lake from, and just away from the busy town intersection!
We spent 2 nights and enjoyed the area and unbelievable Milford Sound drive/cruise. Got great tips for rainy time from Host best was the video on the Fiordland at the local cinema!

We stayed for two nights at Lakefront Lodge and used as our base to visit Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound (both incredible!). Our hosts were lovely, just so helpful and so knowledgeable. Our room was terrific - spotlessly clean, super comfortable and we loved the lavender bags and chocolate on the pillows. A great stay and would recommend wholeheartedly.

Super cozy but spacious. The jet tub was amazing.
Only thing I would say that could have made this place even better was if the beds were a little more comfortable (they weren’t bad but not what I would call ideal.
But we loved this place and the staff was super nice. Definitely recommend and we would definitely go back!

Amazing location and such a beautiful place. We had the deluxe studio and the bed was very comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome. We had unit 1 and each unit had a lovely front patio which we got to enjoy the sunshine in.
I’d stay here again, it was lovely!
