The hotel is conveniently located by the Te Anau lake, offering a stunning view and easy parking. The staff was incredibly helpful in recommending and making reservations for the Milford Sound tour. Despite its simplicity, the hotel is comfortable and well-placed.

We had a lovely stay. The room was very clean, and the kitchenette was stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. The front receptionist gave us a perfect recommendation for dinner and encouraged us to see a short film at the local theater before. It was marvelous.

We absolutely loved our stay at Radfords on the Lake in Te Anau. From the moment we arrived, it was the finer details that really stood out and made the experience special. The rooms were immaculate, beautifully presented and incredibly comfortable, with stunning lake views to wake up to each morning. The little touches throughout the apartment showed how much care and thought has gone into making guests feel welcome and relaxed. Perfectly located, peaceful and luxurious without feeling pretentious. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Great location across from Lake Te Anu within walking distance of the town center (restaurants, market, souvenir shops, etc.). Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Spacious apartment with nice dining and living room area. Appreciate the little box of milk for coffee. Bathroom is dated and can be updated... ours had a bad smell. Other than that, great stay.
