Very tired facility. Great views and huge potential.

The bathroom was the most disappointing. I could accept that it was dated but the mouldy shower curtain was not acceptable. When I was able to contact casual staff on the scene they did replace it with a new one. Facilities were disappointing; a toaster and jug but only two small cups, one saucer, one mug, two spoons. There were no plates or bowls, knives or forks. There seemed to be no management staff on site, few other guests. Apart from check in time there was no-one manning the office, cafe or bar. There were three Chinese staff, one of whom was able to respond to requests, working on maintenance of rooms. In fact the first room we were offered was in a state of disorder, curtains down, furniture piled up on the bed. There was no coordination from the office of what was going on. We paid for a serviced room but it was not serviced on ANZAC day. We should have been told this was not going to happen and should not have had to pay for it. It is a shame that this facility has been neglected and is now well below expected standards. It needs a decent cash injection and decent management.

The view is wonderful, with a clear sight to the mountains. We had a ground floor room with a ' terrace' but the roof over it leaked so the seating got wet. The bed was ok, sheets nice and fresh and clean. as were the towels. Some renovations seem to have been made, new curtains?

No cutlery nor crockery. Seemed strange there was a toaster but no knives, no plates, nothing to wash the dishes with…

Location, warmth, parking.

Lack of food outlets. Takeaway dinner from the bar was below standard.

Great lakefront location with awesome view. Unit was adequate for our needs. Staff were friendly & helpful.

I did like ,as a no payment required until arrival, the manager or someone had charged my in the morning of our arrival. We pay cash on arrival! So he should not have charged my card

Our room had quite an unpleasant smell and just wasn't the cleanest.

There are beautiful scenic views from the rooms themselves and its great to be able to sit out in the morning with your cup of tea!

Look, staying here was like a blast from the past. It felt like we were in a time warp and in the 80s. Facilities are quite dated and old, not unclean but just very well used and worn. Bed was creaky and soft, floppy flaccid pillows, questionable carpets. Can't wait for the day this little place is redone and meets its potential fully.

Location was brilliant, facing Lake Manapouri, and a short walk down to the lakefront. Good option to stay here instead of Te Anau if needed.

The television signals were snowy and was unusable. The bathroom was outdated, separate fossets for hot & cold water and the shower was difficult to adjust to a usable temperature. There was no heating, so in winter this might be a cold room, if no heater can be supplied. The price was a bit high compared to the state of the room/motel. (But maybe also depending on the area of Fjordland?)

The room and bed were okay, however the general state of the motel is a bit dated. The room was without service, which means no intermediate cleaning. That is fine for me when staying only a couple of nights only and the price is than lower and no unnecessary cleaning/towels is/are wasted. There was a nice view of the lake and mountains from the room.

Appointments were a bit shabby. Not at all impressed with the excessively torn lace curtains!

The view was wonderful and the bed linen was crisp and fresh.

Poor quality of facilities. Looks and feels as if it hasn’t had any love or investment in decades

A 2 star unit in a 5 star location. It was however, all we needed really ! Staff had issues with English, but we worked it out. Very helpful really.

Awesome location. Friendly staff.

Room wasn't made up when we arrived. Bed was just OK. Tea and coffee making facilities lacked a few items. The room definitely needs a make over.

Location and view of the lake was great.

The property is very run down and old. Needs to be renovated.
