Good basic efficiency accomodation

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jan 2023
Our room at the Anchorage was small but met all our needs. The kitchen seemed sufficient to putting together meals (but we enjoyed dinners out since Te Anau has lots of good restaurants). The bed was comfortable. A big drawback was that the shower water temperature was entirely unreliable - without any reason we could determine (we didn't run the water, etc.). While the motel doesn't have a lake view, it is conveniently located to access the lake, shops, and restaurants.

Don’t know what the negative reviews are about. Family of 5 in this two bedroom motel room, which was clean and neat. Hot showers with lovely heated towel rails, fantastic toiletries. Kitchenette was very well equipped and pans/pots and cutlery in very good and useable condition. Even provided ground coffee for French press, I love that! Hot chocolate sachets and lots of tea.
Bedrooms are comfortable and clean. Black our curtains very much appreciated in long summer days. Just all very nicely set up for a stay with children — I like the space and all. Will 100% recommend and stay again if we ever visit Te Anau again.

Room tip: Early check out possible — key box

Well maintained property with comfy beds, ample storage and a good range of kitchen equipment. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a studio with a wood fired hot tub in our yard which the staff had prepared for us so ready to plunge into whenever we wanted and wood to reheat it the following day.

Room tip: Well worth booking the superior unit with hot tub

Thus is the place to stay overnight if your doing the milford sound cruises.

The sheets are crisp and the complentry toilteries are not typical of the usual places and smell divine.

Ensure if your driving to milford sound, allow 2 hrs min.....

The owners are courteous and lovely people.

Room tip: 2 hrs to milford sound to travel. The Ranch is good to eat at.

We were disappointed with our stay at Anchorage. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. It was very small & basic. It was clean & tidy but the beds were so uncomfortable we barely got any sleep. It also wasn’t cheap & for the cost I would expect more but this was a very basic motel in my opinion.

We stayed here 2 nights, making it our base for exploring the local area and lakes. we had a room with one of the outdoor hot tubs but it was impossible to maintain a temperture warm enough to really enjoy it - we gave up completely on the 2nd night and didn't venture as far as getting in. A friend who was travelling with us was upgraded to a spa room
A bit tired and in need of an upgrade, but still open and helpful in the Covid era,
