Outstanding!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Oct 2020
Along with the supurb location and stunning lake view our 2 bedroom apartment was as luxurious as an upmarket hotel room. It is obvious that our hosts have invested and devoted themselves to ensuring their guests have an enjoyable and comfortable stay. It would be hard to find a more charming host than Kerri, we took up her suggestions of stops and time frames for our self-drive to Milford Sound, and also importantly - recommended eating out options. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

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.

Room tip: Unit 7 has the best 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

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.
