Review of Radfords on the Lake
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Oct 2020
It all starts with the booking experience. From your first connection with the Radfords staff, you feel at home. This is not mere friendliness for the sake of doing business. No, you get the feeling that there's a deep love of having people visit their beautiful place.

As always, the cleanliness was top-class. The bed was 5-star quality.

And the view from our room ... well, I'm not enough of a poet to do justice to the amazing natural beauty that lies at the doorstep of Radfords.

This is truly one of the best places we've ever stayed in, which is why we don't even bother to look for alternatives when we want to stay in Te Anau.

Thanks, Kerri, you -- again -- made our stay a very pleasurable one.

Beautiful Lake Views

Enjoyed our stay at Radfords on Lake, beautiful lake views and close to fantastic walks and town centre.
Was disappointed the Milford Road was closed on both days of our stay but Kerri supplied us with plenty of information on great places & things to do.
Kerri's hospitality was amazing.
The apartment was spotless with all the amenities you would need & beds very comfortable (nicely warmed for that winter night)
We still have our boat trip pending so hope to stay at Radfords once again

TOP Class Accommodation

This Award winning motel lives up to it's reputation. Friendly staff and super-clean units, with all mod-cons. We experienced two units upstairs over the week and both had good views of the lake. We left most of our luggage there in safe-keeping while we went on a 3 day/2 night cruise in Doubtful Sound.

Kerri, the owner, arranged a day trip for us to Milford Sound - all went according to plan and was thoroughly enjoyed.

Room tip: All upstairs rooms have good views of the lake.

Perfect Location and Host

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.
