We recently spent a night at Radfords on the Lake and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay!
We were greeted by Kerri, the lovely host, who filled us in on what we needed to do the following day. A quick phone call and she had us booked on a cruise of Milford Sound, and then provided sensible and helpful advice regarding getting to and from Milford Sound.
She also offered great advice on where to eat!
Our room was warm, beautifully furnished, and the bed was super comfortable. We were also lucky enough to have a couple of visits from Dexter, the resident Ragdoll cat!
Thank you Kerri - we will be back!!

We spent the night here prior to heading into Doubtful Sounds.
Very comfortable and warm room, (heating was on when we arrived), one of the best beds I have slept in.
Very friendly and helpful hosts when arriving and leaving.
We also enjoyed Mr Rag Doll Cat visiting us too.
Definitely stay here again - thank you.

Dear Antrim46

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are delighted we ticked all the boxes for your time with us. We are in a great location to explore both Milford and Doubtful Sounds. Our guests always appreciate the preheated rooms for their arrival, it can be quite cold outside, nothing like walking into a warm room.

Thanks again for staying with us and we hope we can host you again in the future.

Kindest Regards

Kerri, Steve and Dexter the Ragdoll

Clean, well appointed and comfortable. What more could you need! Very helpful owner on site to make recommendations. Good water pressure in the shower. Everything you could possibly need. Separate bedroom. Lounge area is comfortable and it's lovely and warm. Beautiful views over the lake. Close to town and all amenities.
