Slice of heaven

What a beautiful place with fantastic views of the Lake. Loved the little extra touches and attention to detail. Also all places should have a magnified mirror x 5 for applying make up. Well maintained comfortable and friendly. Highly Recommend .

    Kerry is absolutely helpful, friendly and welcoming. The shower was great, the bedding wonderful with plenty of pillows and blankets. The motel is positioned beside the lake and only a short walk to shops and restaurants.

    We were pleasantly surprised by Radfords on the Lake. The location is great, not too far from the action, and in walking distance from shops, restaurants etc. Kerri, the owner, is great, Shes across all aspects and ensures high standards are met. The hotel grounds and layout are beautiful. The staff were all very pleasant and obliging. Our room was spacious and clean. There was free parking and all in all, a very enjoyable stay

    We spent two nights at Radfords during our South Island trip. It was wonderful. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable. Our favorite of the trip. We finally got a clear night and Kerri provided information on where to stargaze and binoculars. Quick walk to everything in Te Anau. Lovely place to stop.

    Fabulous. Thank you Kerri for taking great care of me! What a wonderful experience and stay. Definitely the number one accommodation provider, with the most comfortable beds and pillows. Give Dexter a cuddle from me :)

    I stayed at Radfords on the Lake, Te Anau, as part of a Hiking group. The place is spotless, and there's a lot of little extras that make all the difference. The laundry facilities were excellent, which is helpful when you're travelling for multiple days.
    The bed and bedding was fabulous, but the real Gem was the owner. She is awesome! Breakfasts were terrific, nothing was a problem and she goes above and beyond in every way. Can't say enough about the place to be honest!
