“Distinction is the perfect name for this Hotel”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We arrived early and were given a free upgrade to a lake view room. The room was perfect, we didn't have the curtains drawn at all because the view of the lake was too good to miss. We loved having drinks at the bar, with "that" view. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, especially Dianna, the receptionist. We... More

“Great Bar Food”

We checked in to our room and found that it had two Queens. Not sure how it was booked, but we called down to the front desk and asked for a King. She told me the King rooms had the Lake View and cost $40/night more. I didn't want to spend that much, so she spoke to her mgr and... More

“Nice resort”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Stayed during off season. Hotel is nice for this area. Nice room. Amenities & staff are good. Off season menu is great value. Beautiful lake view and close to shops & restaurants. Only stayed 1 night so we didn't try many services but main restaurant is closed for dinner.

Dear wrok Thanks for your review and I am happy to hear you found the staff good during your stay. Our Restaurant is open in the off season but on quieter nights we use our area with a fireplace as it is more intimate for our guests. Hopefully we will see you back again in the future. We do still... More

We really enjoyed one night's accommodation midweek in the first week of the holidays. Our check-in late afternoon was friendly and welcoming and a voucher for two free glasses of wine was a nice touch - thanks for that! Our room was spacious, beautifully clean with a lovely outlook to Lake Te Anau.

Dear JSouthee It was lovely to meet you and I am encouraged by your warm comments about the friendly and welcoming nature of the team here at the hotel.

It's a big hotel so things can get busy and you can get the bus loads of tourists.
