Radfords has classy, well designed rooms. Great location on the lake and walking distance to all restaurants in Te Anau! Kerri (owner/manager) maintains a high standard of cleanliness and is willing to share her best tips (food/experiences). Her restaurant and helicopter recommendations were “spot on”! We are going back next year.
Date of stay: February 2023
Room Tip:Front end of the hotel has the best lake views, with a slightly higher tariff.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

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 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.
