We stayed at Aden Motel just one night after returning from Milford Sound. The apartment was extremely spacious, comfortable and had well appointed amenities. The beds were comfy and my favourite part of the room was the heater that was facing the shower area, when we were in Te Anau it was around 9-10 degrees Celsius so we were freezing and because we had the heater while showering I felt so warm and at home. In the morning we were greeted by resident dog Molly and her friend Rocky who were so friendly my daughter can’t stop gushing about them. Will definitely recommend!

The owners have taken what could have been a very basic spaces and used decorative touches to create a lovely space. The decor was modern but still comfortable and inviting. I did use the on-site laundry (one washer, one dryer available - $4NZ each cycle. Nice bedding. Two USB charging ports in the alarm clock. Our room was exactly as pictured online. Not something you find with every stay! The owners are eco-conscious. Molly is the resident pup and is a very good girl! Very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Response from Irene Benfell-Herron Benfell-Herron, General Manager at Aden Motel
Responded 4 Nov 2022
Great wording thank you "Exactly as Pictured" is what I would expect but even when we go on holiday it is not always as pictured which makes me a bit annoyed as its not hard to take photos of your place and present it as it actually is. The Motel building maybe older but we keep it modern inside Yes we do have an onsite laundry with washer / dryer combo costing $4 per load Molly always gets a mention I think she just loves her job Thank you

Extremely comfortable well appointed room and amenities. Manager Irene was incredibly helpful. Great location in a great little town Short walk to the lake and about 10 minutes to Main Street Couldn’t ask for better at a great price Not surprised it’s got such high reviews on TA

The motel is located about 1.5km from the centre of town and maybe 10 mts walk from the coastline. It is super peaceful, offering good sized, comfortable and well equipped rooms, well set up also for self catering, reasonable sized bathroom, slightly squashy bed mattress but otherwise really ok

Wonderful motel, clean, comfortable, and quiet! Lovely decor, felt like a luxury hotel room! We loved it. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We needed to do laundry, they happily gave us the change needed and showed us the laundry and soap. So convenient. It was a very short walk to the lakefront and downtown. We would heartily recommend to everyone!

Excellent units with comfortable bedroom and complete kitchen. Laundry for guests, but you can put your clothes to dry on the clothes line. Internet is very fast. Irene is very gentil and helpful and she makes everything to make your stay memorable. I would return for sure.

This is a country inn. Warm welcome, spotless accomodation and everything works. New Zealand has certainly bounced back after Covid and it was great to stay somewhere that had a personal touch. Particularly appreciated the car wash bay with everything we needed to clean the bugs off the windscreen!

We had a 3 night stay in one of their super king studios which had a full kitchen. Irene was a great host who we had chats with. Rooms are modern and look to have been refurbished not so long ago. Great base to explore Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and the Fireflies. Its a cute town on the lake with several restaurants located in town. We had an enjoyable stay.

My girlfriend and I booked a room at Aden Motel via trip.com and they did not inform us that we could not check in after 10pm anywhere in the confirmation email and when we arrived at 11pm, Aden did not have any emergency contact information so we weren’t able to stay and were basically stranded for the night. We understand that this is something we could have called about earlier in the day but every other place we had stayed at had the standard practice of setting up a late check in and so we assumed this was not necessary. We had booked two nights and were definitely willing to accept the loss of our first night but when we came to speak to the receptionist the next morning, she was completely hostile to us and made us feel very sour and uncomfortable to continue our second night stay (and I quote “it doesn’t take a brain to know to call ahead”). She also would not allow a refund. We are very disappointed as we were looking forward to Aden but the lack of human kindness and sympathy really showed to us that we would rather stay somewhere else (such as Kingsgate across the road and offered us a discounted room as a result of our situation).…

Stayed for 2 nights in a 2 bedroom in November 2022. It was spacious, well equipped, clean and up to date. The owner was very kind and helpful, she showed use to our room and also came with good recommendations for eating out in town. I can recommend to stay here.
