It was a nice run that was close to town and to the adventures around the town
Buzz
I only stayed for one night after going to Milford Sound, but this place was so nice, I wish I stayed for another night. It was super clean and the room was amazing with 2 beds and a couch. I loved the balcony as well, it definitely made the morning a lot better.

Lovely host. Excellent service. Located close to the town centre and lake.
Cindy
Short walking distance to shops and amenities. Easy to park. Fairly spacious room with all the basic utensils you need. Comfy bed and sofa. Ample towels and flannels. Friendly check in staff.
Only downside was the wet room style shower. Just not our preference having a permanently wet bathroom floor, even with the fan on constantly.

5 min across park to main st shops and cafes. Spacious
Jeff
Perfect spot
What a great place to stay. It was close enough to town to walk and yet far enough away to keep it nice and quiet. We will definitely come back next time we are lucky enough to travel to New Zealand.
Joanne
This stay was part of a long trip around Nww Zealand. This property was ideal for us as we had booked a trip to Milford Sound, the pick up was a short 7 minute walk away. We were within walking distance of the town’s amenities. The accommodation was comfortable and we felt very safe. All the staff we met were lovely and helpful, they made getting our bearings very easy. Thank you.

Lim C
Nice clean and comfortable. Great reception servic
Check in was smooth and quick. The key was waiting for us when we arrived a few hours after check in time. We were also given an upgrade to a larger room. Receptionist who handed us the key was Completely relaxed and friendly with giving us some helpful tips and directions.
The room was clean and roomy. I appreciated that there ia a full length mirror in the room besides the bathroom mirror. Very practical.
Only niggly issue we felt was the extractir fan in the bathroom is noisy and can't be switched off. We kept the bathroom door closed to dampen the noise. The hallway heater was also a bit rattly and noisy. We are greatful thatvthey stored our luggage for us after we checked out when we went on an overnight cruise.

A great accommodation option for Te Anau. It is a quick walk to town and on a quiet road/area. Check-in was easy with a warm welcome. Affordable and very comfortable, which was perfect for our overnight stay before heading to Milford Sound.
Melanie
The ASURE at Te Anau was stunning! Set only a block back from the town centre and the waterfront, it was delightfully convenient to walk everywhere. The rooms are beyond spacious. The beds comfortable. And the shower hot! Our room even had a little balcony which we very much enjoyed for some wine and cheese in the evening. Would absolutely stay again!!
Kent
Great place with an easy walk to everything.
MArk and Sarah
All round great experience. Very well presented

Karen
Great place to stay, I would highly recommend it.
Jocelyn
Front Desk was warm, welcoming and helpful. Laundry was handy. Room amenities were updated and modern. Love the kitchen, too! Room was clean and tidy. I also love how they presented all the restaurant menus around the area in one folder, so it was easy to select food options. Happy to recommend this cute motel.
B
Comfortable, clean and calm
Nice comy accommodation, easy check in process and nice facilities, including kitchen, bathroom, reading areas and of course beautiful views of the snow laden mountains. I enjoyed my short stay there.
Ashlee
On our trip to New Zealand, we stayed at expensive resort and spa chains, golf course lake hotels … and Asure Motel was by far our favourite stay. The management is amazing and go out of their way to help and provide a friendly service. Amenities are fantastic and it is clear management have gone above and beyond to think of the little things to accommodate their guests. Rooms are large and spacious and beds are very comfortable. Could not recommend this accommodation highly enough! Thanks for being one of the highlights of our trip.
Helen
Lovely motel and I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, quiet, spacious room within easy walking distance to the center of Te Anau as well as to the lake. Convenient to have a kitchenette and the complimentary bottle of milk was a welcomed touch. Perfect base for our excursion into the Milford Sound / Fiordland area.

Nice large room
Office manager was friendly and very helpful regarding the area. Room was very large and pleasant with a kitchen. We were in walking distance from all dining options.
Daniel
Quiet little hotel. All conveniences
Miki
Good location to get everywhere in Te Anau, the guy at the reception was very nice, they give every guest a small bottle of milk and when he heard I’m vegan he brought me almond milk. The room is renovated and so clean ! Enjoyed my stay very much !
YEO JU
Heater in rooms. Beds were comfortable.
Steven
Good size rooms and only a few hundred metres for town centre.
Sasha
Lovely place to stay with plenty of space. The bathroom was very clean and seemed recently updated. There was a much-appreciated heater in the bathroom. The kitchenette was nice although we didn't need to use it. Beds and pillows were comfortable and we loved the heated blankets! Wifi was okay, clearly affected by how many people are on it. The hotel is a short 3-5 min walk from downtown and very close to the lake.
Andrew
Huge studio with well equipped kitchenette. Nice garden with a great bbq area. An easy walk across the park to the main street in town with lots of restaurants and two supermarket options.
I would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Great welcoming at reception and friendly staff. Our unit was immaculate, spacious grounds so so close to the lakefront and dining and shopping areas. Only drawback was one interior bedroom without an exterior window....so got quite hot at night a fan would've been great.
Loved our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Verified traveler
A perfect place to stay on our travels around the South Is. Clean, modern and very spacious room; clean and well-equipped cooking facility. Added bonus was free parking outside our door and location - easy walking distance to city center. Peaceful surroundings with nice lawn/gardens. The manager/host was very courteous and helpful. A little on the expensive side, but was worth it.
