Enjoyed a lovely overnight stay here. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout. A great stay overall — would happily come back. 😊
Raymond
Great location opposite the lake.
Mamata
My room looked recently renovated. It was clean. It was equipped with taster, har dryer etc. Beds were comfortable.
Property location is great.

Rowena
Our room had the quietest door between ensuite and bedroom that I have ever encountered. It was great as I am a night riser.
They kindly made up our room each day, but without making the beds.
It was great being within walking distance of eateries/town.

Mary-Angela
Motel is well situated for lake view, and fairly priced in comparison to neighbouring properties. Spa bath was a welcome addition for weary muscles. Ammenities adequate with plenty of kitchen utensils. However layout made cooking and dish-washing tricky. No kitchen table indoor or outdoor so had to use coffee table. While spacious, this aging property is overdue for a refresh.
While our information sheet said the units were serviced daily, ours was not, even though we displayed the housekeeping sign - which made our return after a long day not as relaxing as we would have expected.
The office person was friendly when we arrived.

Shireesh
Clean room, good amenities, overall happy and would recommend
Louise
Very close to town and all dining and amenities. On the lake but the rooms do not face the lake, ie. the design is end on. Very clean room with good amenities
Vikas
The property was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There was no staff for check-in apparently due to a NZ wide staff shortage. A written note was left for me about changing the method of payment but no one responded via the Expedia messaging app. A staff member did show up in the evening eventually just to process the payment.
Alan
The room was clean, no staff on sight apart from cleaners for duration due to being short staffed throughout the country. Didn't have a mountain view. Didn't stay long enough to use the laundry but it all was clearly marked out.
Tony
Beds were of the old style springs, not comfortable for two with regards to partner disturbance, lucky there was a single bed in the room too, otherwise we both would have had minimal sleep. The rooms were very clean tidy and looked like had a recent refurbish, comfortable arm chairs in the mini seating area. There was a portable induction cooktop supplied to use on the bench, but there was not enough ventilation for cooking anything, there was a standard bathroom type extraction fan in the ceiling but it was in no way strong or sufficient enough to get rid of cooking smells, we only cooked once due to this. Surely a proper cooking extractor fan over the cooking area would be a requirement? The air conditioner was great kept our rooms nicely cool at night and warmed us well when needed in the morning. Friendly cleaning staff.
Maggie
Although there were no staff to meet us, checking in was seamless. Everything about the room was well organised and it was very comfortable. We recommend this hotel as it is one of the best we've ever stayed in.
Dennis
Nice Lake view, within driving distance of Milford Sound and within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. Roomy and well equipped kitchen area.
Tanya
Yes, room was very nice and clean.
Anne
It is time for a remodel. A bit of black mold in the shower, beatup carpet and linoleum, and peeling paint on the banister all tell the story. Location, view, and only staff person we saw (cleaner) were lovely.
D
Accommodation was ok and functional but somewhat tired. Had a 2 bedded apartment with outside sitting area and a distant view of the lake. Perfectly adequate for just the two of us but of course put up the price. There were laundry facilities but we did not use them. Couple of hot plate rings and a microwave allowed for some simple cooking.
Carol
Clean
Neil
Basic but very comfortable and very clean. Would definitely recommend. Communication was terrific. Great base for exploring the area.
Terry
It was all great
Alberto
Great location, easy parking in front of room, large clean units, easy Walt to lake and restaurants
Linda
Clean room, spacious 2 bedroom villa. We arrived later in the day, keys and instructions were left and easy to follow. Closed to the lake, peaceful and quiet
Bettina
Spotless great shower. And owner loaned me her coat
Ben
Clean room, easy check in and check out processes. Good location
Paul
Everything in the villa at this location is faultless.
James
Nice, clean, well-appointed room with an absolutely spectacular view of the lake.
Phillip
Location was perfect! Walkable distance to most things. Very spacious and plenty of room to sleep a big family. No locks on toilet or bathroom, but we stayed with our little family so wasn’t that big of a deal. Easy check in and check out. Would definitely stay here again.
mike
very good
Julie
We've been staying here for 4 years now and although the rooms are still good, the facilities are dwindling, ie. No nice chairs in garden area, cannot connect to Netflix, only basic satellite tv. Rooms are not serviced at weekends.
Also, price has jump NZ$100 in 2 years.

Paul
The photos grossly misrepresent the quality of the rooms. Very tired rooms, no views at all. Not even anyone staffing it. Especially at $350/night.
Joan
An older, very basic motel. Rooms need renovation. They are clean, but not up-to-date or attractive. The location is great, right across the street from the beautiful lake.
Jean
Room was fine, clean, adequately furnished. However the pictures were very misleading.
Joanne
There were no staff onsite. A beautiful town and a good stopping point to experience Milford Sound.
Ross
Clean room, great location, no problem parking. Close to the lake.
Amanda
Clean room & good
Gillian
Clean room, kids beds were not amazing. A small space if more than a couple staying. Lovely bathroom, but no staff to be seen.
Damion
The unit was clean and well furnished it had a very functional kitchenette for its size.
Maria
Cute, clean little apartment. Is very modern and looks newly renovated.
Karen
There was no staff in attendance for check in due to ongoing staff shortages.
Room information advertised Mapapouri Power Station Tours which were suspended in 2018.

Ian
Compact, refurbished property. Well finished. Lake front and walks across the road. Only downside was that the lounge seating - bucket chairs - was not comfortable. a nice lounge sofa would be better.
Corlia van
Good location, roomy, a shame no office staff, in need of some maintennace
Gail
Arrived to freezing cold room, no one at check in ,,just envelope with details on how to get to room. 3 floors outdoor stairs, no lighting . Heating could have been put on to warm area.
Maria
convenient location, clean room
Warren
staff shortages meant nobody was there at reception - but a envelope with key is perfectly fine for me
Michelle
Stayed here a few times and this room ( superior / upgraded rooms) was a lot fresher than the Standard one. Te anau is a very seasonal place and so the premium prices in peak hiking season may seem off comparing against property elsewhere. Great thing that it has a nice bed ( I like medium firm), shower, and the location is perfect for a lakefront stroll.
Unfortunately the last few nights stayed there had been not reception team on deck but a friendly message that they’re short staffed. I understand, but I hope you find a team one day soon.

Grae
Spacious
Margaret
Lovely hotel, spacious, new bathroom. Very pleasant staff. Will most likely stay again on another trip.
Verified traveler
Home surrounded by motels
It seems the hotel bought the house next door to rent as a “villa.” It’s a nice place to spread out, especially for two. Washer was especially welcome. It need a few fix-it’s to make it better, but I’d stay here again.
Adam
Good, affordable and close proximity to all.
James
Newly renovated -- walk to town and restaurants.
Peg
Great location beautiful place, lovely view
Kenneth
New Zealand adventure
Stayed 2 nights very clean comfortable motel near all amenities
Conrad
Room was fine, if a little small but was adequate. There was no service at all from the front desk. The laundry facilities for guests appeared to be used for sheets and towels, ie for motel staff to use for their purposes which struck us as odd. There were no outside shared spaces, bbq, etc. We found a small on the grass across the driveway. The motel had EV chargers but only for staff use.
Darko
Amazing property, close to town center and lake walkways.
Xiongzhe
A bit difficult to cook a meal because the cooking bench and sink/water are located at different locations of the room.
Sabine
Very noisy aircon unit positioned outside straight behind the main bedroom. Made terrible noise. Uou need earplugs to sleep at night
Adrian
Great…..
Sara
Great Motel and Great Price
Very clean, well appointed kitchen, friendly staff!
Lydia
Very convenient location.
Yafen
Overall decent basic accommodations. The one thing that wasn't great is that the bathroom was in the bedroom, so when the people sleeping out in living room need the bathroom. They had to go through the bedroom. They are a little short-handed so some of the procedures are a little less formal than they usually are. They left an envelope with my name and room number on the office door because it wasn't manned.
Roddena
Last minute stay, friendly staff and very comfortable room.
Jan
The family room we had is the only room with views out over the lake and the mountains. Walkable distance to town, and all activity's on the lake.
Brian
Excellent value
Roland
Property location is good but all the utensil is not clean properly. Tiolet and bath have not locks.
Christina
Location was perfect
Nikki
Great clean property close to everything.
Carolyn
The property had all the amenities we were looking for. Adequate cooking, spacious, easy acvess with front and rear entry/ exit. It was within walking distance of many restaurants.
Keri
Easy to find and easy check in. Within walking distance of town for dinner and right along the lake for a nice walk.
Vera
Great location
Ralf
There are many good things to say about this property. Sadly the internet and tv are not among them. We had no internet for most of our stay. The few tv channels are at best abysmal. Parking can be tricky if the motel is full. We had a one bedroom unit which we really liked. It had a very nice modern bathroom with a large walk in shower. The kitchen although smallish was well kitted out. Also a comfortable sitting area including chairs outside the unit. Not much of a view of the lake but we were steps away from the lake which had a terrific esplanade that went for miles. It was an easy walk into town for shopping. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Lots of fresh towels if needed. The bed was comfortable and the electric blanket was an added bonus for a comfortable sleep. We liked our stay in spite of the other nuisance stuff which shouldn’t be. This is the age of technology and crappy internet and tv is no longer the norm or acceptable.
Shailesh
Great location
Great location, right across from Te Anau Lake. The rooms were spacious and well maintained. Good facilities.
Rex
Room 6 ( unrenovated) was very tired and ordinary. Admitally it was clean and functional. However, carpets worn, shower mat frayed, no bedside power points and bedroom light so dull, reading was not possible. Sorry, not worth the asking price.
Michael
Great location. Updated rooms.
We stayed one night at the Edgewater Motel on our way to visit Milford Sound in March 2024. At the time we were at the hotel, we saw no one in reception. An envelope taped to the door of the office explained how to find the key. (We had prepaid an internet booking.) However, we got into our rooms and were quite pleased.
Our unit appeared to have been very recently update. Although the basic layout is a little odd--the only door is a sliding glass door that opens onto the parking lot/driveway.
Very nice decor. Loved the chic bathroom. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchenette was wonderful, although it lacked a stovetop. There was, however, an electric fry pan, which we used to prepare breakfast.
The location is great--close to the center of town and right on the lake, as the name suggests.

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. One bedroom suites were nicely upgraded. Two bedroom suite had great privacy and lovely windows but is in dire need of an upgrade.

Plenty of space, separate bedroom, comfy bed, lounge, dining setting. All good.
Linda
No staff, very very old bathroom
Wayne
Comfortable and great location!
Service was great, location great and nice modern bathroom! Very comfortable…
Margaret
Amazing view, generous rooms and bath amenities. Could have stayed a week
Phillip
Awesome location. There was no staff available on site. The locks on one of the windows was broken. Shower pressure was weak. Bathroom fixtures were old.

No staff on site when we checked in but they had made arrangements for us to get into our room. Luckily we had no issues that required help from staff. The one thing that should be addressed is a plumbing issue that creates a bad smell in the room (the kitchenette sink did not have a p-trap so smells from the pipes were escaping into the room when the drain stopper was removed.

The room was excellent and had all facilities wanted. Rooms well modernised. Exterior not so much but that wasn’t a problem.

The property was fine and basic. Had all the conveniences but has definitely seen better days. Floor was less than clean with a few spiders. Fine for a day or two especially if you’re not hanging out in the hotel but if you want something a bit more updated look elsewhere.

I reminded Hotels.com so many times that Edgewater didn’t fulfil the stay.
They cancelled our booking with the reason that the villa wasn’t in a good state.
Then we were transferred twice abd ended up in lakeview, which in my opinion was a downgrade
I had been asking hotels.com for a cost delta
No body, nobody from Hotels.com or Edgewater responded to me

I had low expectations of this motel having stayed at a Queenstown hotel the night before, but couldn’t believe how fantastic this place was! Great layout and facilities and immaculately clean! We didn’t meet any staff but they left us very friendly notes to explain why they weren’t available and to ensure we had everything we needed

We had a seamless check in even though the office was unattended.
Our unit was perfect, clean and comfortable. It totally met our needs for an overnight stay on our way to Milford Sound

Unfortunately we must have been in an old unit, definitely not up to scratch in any way although the bed was comfortable.
James
An ideal location, close to dining options and looking out on the lake. Not pretentious, and very friendly.

Clean, easy check-in, spacious, would definitely stay here again.

We had a nice stay at the Edgewater. The room was very clean and comfortable. The kitchenette was very well stocked and in good working order. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I recommend staying at the Edgewater!

Close to town and right on the water.

A used towel was left bathroom. No hot plate. No milk. Motel was short staffed. Otherwise very nice location.

Great little motel on the lake shore. Easy walk to town, restaurants and tours. We really loved this spot. Such a cool vibe.

Great view facing the lake

What's not to like about Edgewater Motel and Te Anau?
We were the only residents for our 3 night stay so was very quiet but very relaxing. The unit was well equiped, warm and clean.

It was close to town easy walking distance, close to the bus for a tour. Very convenient
Julie
Comfortable and friendly
This was such a lovely motel that had style and comfort. No lake view from room but a 30 second walk to the lake. There was a wonderful garden with a lounge suite under the trees, pure luxury

On arrival, looked like an old 1960/70's motel, but had been completely refurbished inside. Great bathroom. Straight across from the lake and short walk to town center. Would stay again.

Fine for one night - quite central.
OK - no problems. Small bathroom !!
Greg
Great Place
We spent three nights in one of the refurbished units. The standard was excellent and we would not hesitate to return. Very good location and very helpful staff.

A Solid stay in an older style Motel
Room # 12 - 2 x Night Stay
As for Value for money - I think it was fair.
Motel room had been recently painted so looked presentable.
Underneath it is still an old Motel, and has not been modernised.
No Mixer Taps, old Style Metal Kiwi shower box etc
We moved the Heater in the bedroom and much Fluff and Dust underneath - so cleaners need to do a better job!!
It was SO Quiet at night - Awesome.
Very convenient to get to Milford Sound Crusies.
Also situated right next to Lake Te Anau and 2 minute drive to Town Centre
We ate at The Ranch in town and although a little expensive, portions were massive and expertly cooked.
If back in the area we would stay here again.
