Great location, good room
We stayed here for one night when visiting Milford Sound. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room itself was a bit dated, which is fine. Overall, our stay here was good. It’s beautifully located on a corner on the lake front, a short walk from the Main Street.
Lakefront Lodge was the perfect place to stay for our stopover before heading to Milford Sound. The room was well equipped and clean. Loved the picnic tables provided by each room as well…perfect for morning tea or evening takeaway! The location was great as well with easy access to the lakefront walking/biking path and town. Would stay here again when stopping over in Te Anau!
