Amazing lake views, comfortable room with a big tub which was needed after hiking - and Kerri treated us like friends as soon as we arrived. There was champagne for my birthday and she even brought us some Vicks as we were under the weather! Memorable stay. Thank you!
Dear Sally
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. We are absolutely delighted to know you enjoyed your stay. I hope your Birthday will be one to remember for years to come and we look forward to welcoming you back to discover more of Fiordland. Safes travels and I hope you are feeling better too Sally.. Kindest Regards Kerri and Steve.
If you’re staying in Te Anau to explore Milford Sound, you have to stay here at Radfords on the Lake! Not only do you have beautiful views of Lake Te Anau but the rooms are extremely spacious and have modern furnishings and decor.
In terms of bedding, the mattress is extremely comfortable and they use the softest bedding that is also sustainable! There are thoughtful small touches such as lavender for sleeping and the scent spray in the bathroom. In addition, there is a great outdoor BBQ and garden area at the back for guests to use.
Most importantly, the host Kerri is super welcoming and provided great recommendations for things to do and dining options in the area. You can instantly feel how much she and the rest of the Radford's team care about their guests. We will definitely be back!
Hi and thank you for taking the time to place your review of your time with us. We are delighted that you found your accommodation, comfort and great bedding added to your experience of your time with us. We love what we do and enjoying sharing our local insights of things to see, do and places to eat. We look forward to hosting you both again, there is so much more to see and do! Travel safe and Kindest Regards Kerri and Steve
The place was well maintained, very spacious and was in tip top condition. Kerri greeted us and gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and activities. It made our stay at Te Anau a very pleasant one.
Thank you for staying with us and delighted you found your accommodation and experience staying with us a positive one. We hope we can host you again in the future. Travel safe and Kindest Regards Kerri and Steve
Occasionally, amongst a group of good hotels, you find a great hotel. This is one. We booked online after having read good reviews. Sat right on the front with views over the lake, and only a few steps from town we really enjoyed our two night stay. The welcome was fabulous, lots of good advice of where to go (Milford Sound)!! How long it would take us to get there and where we should stop en route. Then suggestions of where we should go to eat and drink. The room was superb, a separate living area and bedroom. A comfy big sofa, looking out towards the lake and a more than extremely comfortable bed. A great effort has been made to make Radfords stand out above others, and it shows. I would suggest that in a three week visit to NZ, this was the nicest place we stayed.
Dear Paul
Thank you so much for your kind review, and for taking the time to let us know you enjoyed your stay - we very much appreciate it. You both were a delight to host . Isn't MIlford a great day out...it is all the stops that make this trip equally as great a Milford itself, we always recommend taking the whole day... you get so much more from the experience. We would love to welcome you back to show off more of what Fiordland has to offer.
Take care and Kindest Regards Kerri and Steve
I had the pleasure to stay at Radfords on the Lake for 2 nights, and highly recommended it
First of all, the location is excellent, in central Te Anau, with a view over the lake
The surroundings are really beautiful, and I would suggest staying a day more than what one would have planned for Milford Sound to be able to explore the surroundings
Then, the accommodation by itself is really good, it's not a hotel room, but actually a small apartment, with a kitchenette so you can cook (with induction plates, microwave, toaster...), and even including a dish washer
There's also a washing machine that is free to use in the shared laundry room, with echo friendly laundry powder provided too (and a dryer for just 2 NZD, coins needed)
The apartments are very comfortable, stylish & modern (there's even a heating above your head, first time I see that, very efficient)
There's a free parking dedicated to their guests right in front
Mountain bikes can be borrowed free of charge (upon availability indeed)
A breakfast can be ordered, one that is both substantial & healthy, with fruits (I had kiwi, orange & grape), toasts, butter, jam, muesli, yogurt, chocolate, milk, fruit juice (that come on top of the coffee/tea/chocolate powder that are offered to everyone)
And the last but not the least, the team in charge: It's a multi-generational family business, and I got to meet Kerri, who's extremely friendly, smiling, and flexible. She also loves to give recommendations for places to eat at, things to do, etc. And that is thanks to her that I learned about & got to watch 'Ata Whenua - Shadowland' (Fiordland on Film), an award-winning documentary showing the area from above (from an helicopter), and the reason why Fiordland Cinema (movie theater) was built in town as I was told by its owner
Oh and when talking about the team I shouldn't forget to mention Dexter the cat, who was there to welcome me late at night :D Such a lovely one
I warmly recommend Radfords on the Lake!
Dear David
Thank you for staying and taking the time to place your comprehensive and thorough review of your stay with us. As you checked in late, I am pleased the welcome party was there to meet you, aka Dexter our Ragdoll cat. We enjoy spending time with all our guests to make the most of the time spent in Te Anau, so pleased you enjoy Ata Whenua, Fiordland on Film, we are so proud of this, it show cases Fiordland from a completely different angle, being a Boutique Bar and Movie theatre, it is great to be able to take your wine or beer in and relax.
Safe travels David and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Kindest Regards
Kerri and Steve
