the Anchorage is a typical 60's-style motel (i.e. park in front of your unit), as seemed to be common in small towns across New Zealand, and the best of the 5 such places I stayed at. The 1-bedroom unit is very spacious, with kitchenette, sky-tv, and wi-fi...all of which worked quite well. It's on a quiet side street, and only... More

We stayed two nights at Te Anu as the jumping off point for a day trip to Doubtful Sound. As we were traveling with our entire family (six of us), a normal hotel wouldn't work. Fortunately, the Anchorage hotel has solved the problem by purchasing a couple houses that adjoin the hotel ground. We were able to rent the 3... More

The rooms were very clean and surprisingly also very modern. We stayed here for 1 night on our way back from MIlford Sound and wished we stayed here longer. The room was very spacious with a kitchenette, sky tv and dvd player. The location was about a 10-15 minute walk from the town centre but only about a minute from... More

A real effort has been made to make this motel look attractive, with flowers in the front and rear of the units. The furnishings are of good quality although one of the drawers needed attention as it was difficult to open. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was generally well equipped however I would question the provision of 6... More

For about AU$125 a night we weren't expecting much so were delighted with this accommodation. I was expecting one of those 70s stlye rooms with an old TV bolted onto the ceiling but that wasn't the case. I shuddred what the 'spa bath' would be like. But overall we were pleasantly surprised. The room was fairly modern (plasma TV, nice... More

I stayed in a standard studio for 1 night. I did not want to spend much money as I needed accommodation just for 1 night on my way to Milford Sound, and travelling solo the studio seemed like a good option. I got what I paid for so I am not complaining. However, when I see the travellers' pictures of... More

We stayed at the Anchorage Motel for 2 nights in a spa unit and found it to be one of the better motels we stayed at in NZ. The room was quite big, comfortable and was equipped with a kitchenette and had a spa. We paid extra to get the spa in the room but it was still excellent value... More

This is what you can expect a motel to be, parking in front of room, small courtyard. We checked in about 8pm and were given 2 bottles of milk. Our room was a studio (NZ$115, Room no.9) in the far corner from the reception. The door and windows were soundproof with thick glass. Inside the room there's one queen bed,... More
