Edgewater Motel

Located just opposite the lake, which is great! Bathroom and furniture look very new, pretty comfortable facilities. The owners work hard and keep the motel very clean and it's really appreciated.

Just one tiny shampoo and shower gel for a big family for 2 days was ridiculous. I would recommend to make the family room available for a family of 3 maximum. Not enough space there, you know. You can get more negative reviews from clients when you sell it as a room for 4. We were ready for a small room but it can be a bad surprise for someone. Good luck in your business anyway) Many thanks, Natalia.

The outside looks dated but the rooms inside have had a beautiful upgrade with everything new and modern looking. The shower was HUGE and had an amazing showerhead! The beds were comfy and 2 out of 3 beds had electric blankets on them. The heat pump was a big help in this cold weather. The kitchenette was small but seemed to work well. The only thing is we had to have the door open (and it was a super cold day) while frying as it kept setting off the smoke alarm.

It would have been good if the 3rd bed had an electric blanket on it. None of the duvets on any of the beds have covers on them and we found hair from other people all over these... managers, please make sure duvet covers are being put on the duvets as this is so unsanitary!

The room was extremely well decorated & comfortable with all the required facilities including good kitchen area with microwave only for cooking but everything else exceptional including plates & cutlery & buffet bar seating. Comfortable easy chairs. Comfortable bed & very good shower & bathroom. Friendly staff when located but they are short of staff & have difficulty recruiting as is common in NZ. It was so good we stayed an extra night.

No reception staff on site until the morning but good directions about how to contact someone if required & they were immediately available & helpful over the phone.

Easy to find and very centrally located to the town centre & 2 mins walk form the gorgeous lake. On check in an envelope on reception door a nice printed letter told us room 2 door would be open keys in unit. Went there, parked up, unpacked car, door not open, back to reception & luckily a lady was there (they had said reception closed during our stay) our room was infact room 4. Anyway, that was sorted. We had a very nice stay, lovely comfy bed, great shower, super clean room, and friendly staff. Very small TV and too far away from chairs and too high on wall, we had to move chairs and table closer but lay out of room doesn't allow to go too close. We used it as a base to go to Milford Sound 2 adults stayed 2 nights in January 2023

TV We go out & about all day, TV is what we do in the evening, so it's important to us. It had Netflix, but the signal kept dropping out, so the film had to be re started 🙄😒

We stayed in room 1 and found it to be modernised and clean, a short walk to everything in the town. Two of us but it can sleep 4 if you don’t mind those in the lounge accessing the bathroom via the main bedroom. No stovetop but had an electric hot plate. Overall we had a comfortable stay.

No staff on-site due to general service labour shortages but that didn’t impact us and they were very responsive when we messaged.

Was near the lake and an easy walk to pick up point for Milford Sound tour. Clean and comfortable. We were able to change our nights when we contacted them a few days ahead.

Initially booked room with lake view which unfortunately wasn't available due to the change of dates, but think I was still charged the slightly higher rate. We didn't see any staff (due to staff shortages apparently). Their were 3 of us, but bathroom access was through bedroom, which wasn't ideal.

The location of this motel was perfect! Right on the lakefront and an easy walk into town to have a meal or to shop. Being able to park directly outside our room was ideal as we didn't have to carry our heavy luggage far. We were extremely pleased with our room. It was updated and very modern and clean, especially the kitchen and bathroom. The linen was good quality and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this motel and would be happy to stay again.

There is nothing we didn't like about the motel.

The location was right near the city center and it was fantastic! We also appreciated the pamphlets that showed activities like the glowworm cave tour and the Te Anau bird sanctuary. These really helped us make the most of our time in Te Anau. It was great that we were able to extend our stay one night with no problem and we got a free upgrade on the room! The laundry service was also super helpful for a pair of sweaty backpackers!

Nothing comes to mind, my boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay.

Easy access to the room, very quiet and great access to the lake. Short walk to town and very comfortable room. The staff were really friendly. We really enjoyed out stay here

I had thought from the pictures that most rooms had a lake view but that wasn't the case. We were in a unit towards the back of the property with views of the neighboring motel. Not a huge deal as we weren't in the room all that much during the day. We were there for 3 nights and the room wasn't serviced in that time. Due to COVID they were limiting staff contact and it looked like we were the only ones there but I was a little surprised about the lack of servicing. Not peak time maybe? We did have plenty of towels and such though. We also found the room a bit cold, despite the heat pump being cranked up - this may have been us though.

Clean, Quiet, Awesome Location and so comfortable. Self Check in was easy as, and the room was perfect. Modern and so clean with a brilliant shower and comfortable beds. Easy walk to the Main Street and the lake is right out the front. Perfect base for our Milford Sound adventures. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to NZ next year to do Doubtful Sound

Nothing it was great!
