Perfect Location and Host

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Sept 2020
Had a lovely 2 night stay at Radfords on the Lake. Kerri is the perfect host and she was so helpful when it came to recommending restaurants and walks in the area. The room was spotlessly clean and warm with lovely views of the lake from upstairs. The town is so close by for restaurants and shops. Unfortunately we were unlucky with visiting Milford Sound as the road was closed which was disappointing but it means we will be back to try again and will certainly be staying at Radfords for sure. Highly recommended.

We are very happy we were able to assist in providing you with a memorable time here in Te Anau, sadly as mentioned you did not get to Milford Sound due to the weather and road closure, however we look forward to welcoming you back again to complete this experience.

My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at Radfords on the Lake in Te Anau which we highly recommend. Kerri was an outstanding host who was very friendly and helpful recommending places to eat, and things to see and do. Our room was spotless, very warm and comfortable, and was equipped with everything we needed. The view of the lake from out room was amazing. Thank you Kerri and your team, you have a beautiful spot and we hope to return again soon

We picked Radfords because of the location, and the absolute waterfront spot did not disappoint. But really it was the hospitality that made the trip special. Our host was just so friendly and helpful the moment we arrived. Perfect recommendations for things to do, places to eat and also for our road trip the next day on to Milford. We felt we were in very good hands. The rooms are spotless, and thoughtfully decorated. And the bed was more comfortable than the one at home! Without a doubt, this is the place to stay in Te Anau. You won't regret it.
