Our room was upgraded, and we truly appreciated the amazing staff and delicious breakfast. The newly renovated bathroom was a highlight. The carpet, TV, and hairdryer felt a bit dated. Overall, we would still consider staying again. Many thanks to the reception, room service, and breakfast teams for their excellent service.

We enjoyed this property for its view of the lake, proximity to restaurants and Doubtful Sound tour operators as well as the size of our room. Our room was a two room suite with balconies facing the lake. The buffet breakfast was wonderful. The hotel is large, somewhat dated but well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The RealNZ office, our Doubtful Sound tour operator, was only one block away.

I mostly loved our stay at Distinction Te Anau. The staff were amazing, the food was excellent, and we had beautiful views of the lake. It looks like renovations are underway. The bathrooms felt modern, while the bedrooms were a bit dated.

One important note if you have mobility issues like me: you may be placed at the very end of the hall. I understand why, as there’s parking at the back and a shorter walk from the car, but if your plan is to enjoy the hotel facilities (breakfast, dinner, laundry, etc.), definitely ask for a ground-floor room closer to reception. That long walk had me rethinking my life choices… especially on the way from breakfast 😭.

Accessibility aside, I genuinely loved our stay and would absolutely return! Now that I know exactly what to ask for next time! 🌿🏞️

Stayed for one night at the Distinction Te Anau. The room was clean, but a bit dated. Bathrooms looked recently upgraded/remodeled. The property is right on the lake and we had a nice lakeside view. Staff at the property were friendly and attentive. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from most of the restaurants although there are a few right next door. My stay offered free breakfast, and it was quite a nice breakfast spread. There was toast, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit, eggs (scrambled and boiled eggs), multiple juices, etc. and coffee. There were also decent little pastries. Their coffee was also pretty good. Usually hotel coffee for these types of things is pretty bad. If you are looking to go to Milford Sound a nice option is to stay in Te Anau for 1 or 2 nights and get the tour from here. The tour cost is substantially lower and you don't have to do the entire bus drive (5 hours ish from Queenstown) in one day which is a very long drive. Overall a good experience.

Pros - Excellent check in and checkout, great service and breakfast was superb!! If you go for the buffet breakfast option, it's very good and everything is on there.
Cons - villa was dark and dingey and despite most of the villas being empty we were placed as far away from reception as you could get and right next to a family. Wine glass had a lipstick mark on it.
I expect better than this for the price but everywhere else was booked so this accommodation gets those of us that are desperate and stupid with our money.

The interior space of the Villa Unit was laid out fine. Windows do not open and interior air flow is poor.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom villa.
The bad. There was NO air conditioning. We were provided with 2 fans that did very little to cool down the rooms during the day. The windows only open a couple inches, making it impossible for provide airflow from outside. It was unbearably hot and stuffy until after the sunset around 9pm. Additionally, the room was very run down. The furniture was in need of replacement. The carpet was absolutely disgusting. We were provided with 1 remote for two TVs, but it wasn’t working. After two requests to have the remote fixed, it still did not work on one of the TVs.

The good. The bathroom was updated and clean. The free breakfast was amazing. The hotel provides complimentary use of the sauna, and the pool area is very nice. The location is ideal. Very close to all the shops and restaurants.

Even with the amenities I would not stay at this property again due to how uncomfortable the villa was.

The villa option was a great way to be with family at a better cost that 2 rooms. More comfortable as well. I did 4 stars for condition ONLY because it's a bit older property and parts were a bit worn, but the rooms were impeccable as were the dining and other amenities. Perfect location as well. A great place to stay.

Travelled with the family to stay at Distinction. We were in a villa with 2 bedrooms. Overall the accommodation and breakfast were excellent. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Rooms need to be updated. Views of the lake were nice. Very good shower pressure.

Comfortable Stay in Te Anau

We stayed in Te Anau after visiting the Milford Sound. The Distinction Hotel was right on the lake across the street and a good location for walking to other places in this small town. We stayed in a Villa Room which was huge. It would have been great for a longer stay, but we were only there overnight. The room was clean and comfortable although it was detached from the main hotel. Parking was convenient to the Villa but was difficult to navigate to in the darkness of night. We ate at the restaurant in the bar and the food was exceptional. Our server was great and made a perfect suggestion for breakfast the next day on our way out of town continuing our journey. I would stay at this hotel again.

We had a nice stay at the hotel. Beds were comfortable, shower was good, and the breakfast was really good with a lot of options. The staff were really friendly! The one downside is the pool was very cold, so don’t plan on swimming outside of summer time!

The hotel is directly across the street from the lake and convenient to the town centre's shops and restaurants. The facility itself could use updating, including the installation of an elevator, but rooms were otherwise very clean.

The property is in a great location by the waterfront. It is a bit dated but in decent condition. There isn’t an elevator, however, there is staff to help carry luggage to room.

We had dinner at the hotel one night and the food was great. Breakfast buffet was ok— probably typical quality of a small town hotel.
