5 Star plus!

Wow! My husband & I stayed for 3 nights as I was doing business in Fiordland.
We felt so privileged to stay in the incredible Tanara Suites. We had room 14 accessible room as I'm a wheelchair user & it was hands down one of the best rooms we've stayed in.
Usually the accessible rooms are in the crappiest part of a hotel/motel, but we had the exact same experience my work colleagues did.
Incredible views, large room with plenty of space around the bed to get the wheelchair around, huge kitchenette, fire, and the bathroom I couldn't have designed better for a wheelchair user! I could roll under the sink to brush my teeth! (it's the little things).
Our hosts were super accommodating with our late check out.
Great parking, walking distance to restaurants & views to die for.
We'll be back, thank you!

Quiet location overlooking the lake but easy walk to main shopping and restaurant area. Well manicured garden. Small balcony. Friendly host. Clean, comfortable and spacious room with kitchenette. Would stay again. Seaplane trip on the lake just opposite was great.

Absolutely fantastic 😊. Stayed in upstairs room 7 which is very big 2 bedroom apartment with everything you could possibly need. Stunning views across the lake. 2 balconies to enjoy a wine and gaze over the lake with the occasional boat and seaplane passing.

Room tip: Room 7 the best

Absolutely loved our 2 night stay here. The room was very large and had a separate living room equipped with a decent TV and there was a small kitchen with everything you might need. This motel had free laundry services which were very well organised.

Overall this was one of our favourite stays during our time in NZ and the grounds were beautifully kpet however the standout feature was the view of Lake Te Anau, it was absolutely stunning and there is a lovely balcony where we sat out and had breakfast and dinner and just stared out at the view.

The Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments was perfect. There is plenty of parking behind the Motel. Our room was spectacular. It was clean, comfortable, large and quiet with a great view of the lake. Our unit also had a kitchen and washer/dryer. It is a short walk to the town center for restaurants and attractions. We booked a tour to Milford Sound and the tour guide picked us up in front of the Motel. I will definitely return to the Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments when I return.

We had a reservation for 3 nights (February 21st thru 24th) at the Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments. Unfortunately, our son became very ill the day before we were to depart. My husband and I had to cancel our trip in order to stay with him. I was able to cancel all our reservations in time, except this one and one other. My travel company reached out to both properties explaining the situation and the first one
(Harbour View Motel) in Picton, graciously chose to still give us a credit for our room. They were our second night stay so therefore they had almost no time to rebook that room. On the other hand, Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments had 10 days to rebook their room. I have no problem paying the cancellation fee I was made aware of at the time reservation was made. But when a business says they will not make an exception, even if the room was rebooked, then I feel they are more concerned about taking people's money rather than making exceptions when they should be made. We have since rebooked our trip for March, and have chosen other properties for Te Anau.
