Te Anau Downs, Southland hotel rooms at the Independent

"This is a gorgeous apartment style hotel on the lake with a stunning view, close to town and really comfortable. The host at reception was lovely and made a superb recommendation for dinner. The Fat Duck makes the best duck wontons!!! The room has the comfiest recliner chairs and was warm and cosy when we arrived later in the afternoon on a cold winters day. Definitely a great location and very nice place to stay. I also recommend the walk along the lake early morning to watch the boats go out."

"Very friendly, helpfull and generous staff. Clean well kept facilities and rooms. Would easily reccomend. Ps could have had a can opener in our studio tho (we got caught out)"

"This is the best one night stop if visiting Te Anau for a short stay! All the bells and whistles for a luxury stay. On the lakefront, walkable to the village and has a knowledgeable hostess with so many tips for the best places to eat and play! Thank you ☺️ "
