We chose this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews. Again, the reviews were spot on! These apartments were immaculately clean, extremely comfortable with everything you need to be self contained. Close to the main street shops with beautiful views across the lake and to the alps. A great base to visit Milford and Doubtful Sounds or to go walking (tramping) and come back to a comfortable well appointed and warm room....we went in May 2018 so it was pretty chilly. Free washing machines available for guests in the laundry , they even provide the washing detergent! Free wifi, kitchen is well set up, it has been recently renovated and is modern, clean with a very comfortable super king size bed. We booked one night then were going on the overnight Doubtful Sound cruise and then returning for two more nights. The owner/manager said that as they were not fully booked out we could stay in the same room and leave our belongings there for the night of the cruise!!! This was amazing and I must complement him on this service and the friendliness in which he offered it. Totally unexpected and made our trip and stay at the Lakeside unforgettable. I would highly recommend this accommodation if you want a comfortable, clean, modern apartment and like to feel welcome! Wonderful experience and many thanks!
