Review of Aden Motel

We stayed at the Aden Motel for 5 nights. Irene and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Outstanding service and exceptional value for money made this a very memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back.

    I stay here when ever I come to Te Anau. Its quiet and very friendly. The rooms are fantastic, nice and warm in the winter and plenty of room. A big plus for me is a good shower and these rooms have very nice bathrooms and great strong showers.

    Steve thanks for a great review and its always nice to host gets on return visits as you are not that far away from home but Te Anau is a lovely place for a mini break away from home.
    Showers in some of our units are far better than others but still better than what I have had when I have stayed in other places myself.
    We will see you again I would like to guess

    A welcoming, relaxing place to stay with amazing facilities and friendly, extremely welcoming staff. As a family with varied aged children from 15 years to 15months this place catered for all ages with the on site playground, extensive knowledge of the area and loads of recommendations on family friendly activities in the area. We will definitely be back. Accomodation had already met our family before I took pictures

    Family and making Memories is what I believe in so we like it when our guest enjoy the same things. There are not many motels now with playgrounds for the kids to burn up some energy but we have kept ours for this very reason plus to give mum and dad a break even for 5-10 minutes from the kids. I am so pleased that the accommodation suited all your needs with us as we work very hard to achieve the best for our guests.

    Delightful motel close to lake edge, with extremely helpful owner. Very well equipped, clean, modern and comfortable. TV in lounger and bedroom, blackout curtains. Quiet location and peaceful ambiance even though the motel was almost fully booked. Would definitely chose this motel again

    Thanks for your review and its sometimes the small things like having a TV in both rooms and blockout curtains that mean a lot when you are staying away from home and yes like you I expect the same when we go on holiday too. And we would really enjoy hosting you again anytime

    There are some Motels that are better than average.
    However to say our stay at the Aden Motel was excellent would be underrating our stay of four nights with Hosts Irene and Dave.
    Without being intrusive, they went the extra mile to make our stay with them a highlight our South Island Trip. Their advice on choosing a Tour to Milford Sound and other activities was invaluable.
    Although this is not a brand new Motel. The studio room was spacious and spotless.

    Wow what a fabulous review on our Motel and we do try to treat all our guest that best we possibly can from the time they arrive to their departure. Local knowledge is always the best information when travelling its something I have always done myself and so I like our guest to enjoy the whole experience and take away wonderful memories of their stay with us here in Te Anau

    What a great find! Affordable, clean, tidy and friendly staff. This motel exceeded my expectations especially at only $70 per night! Large room with everything you need. Staff had turned on our electric blankets and heaters prior to our arrival which was much needed on a cold and rainy day

    Affordable yes we have a variety of rooms at different prices but our Winter rates are very good and you staying in our budget room going by the price of it but it has everything you need with a nice new bathroom and kitchen. Late arrival guests we get your rooms all set up so you are warm and comfortable when you arrive late in the Winter.
    Thanks
