"Nice motel with great of the lake and pretty gardens.
Easy walk to town.
Well equipped kitchen.
There was a mix up with our booking so we only had one bathroom rather than the 2 we asked for.
Bathroom was quite small"
"Nice Lake view, within driving distance of Milford Sound and within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. Roomy and well equipped kitchen area."
"The property was on poor repair and shape. It looked like it was forgotten and just opened for a few weeks. Over grown plants and weeds. The view of the lake and clean sheets and towels were there only saving grace. The staff did the best they could given the condition the the motel. "
"The Kingsgate in Te Anau is conveniently located within reasonable walking distance of downtown. However, there is NO ELEVATOR (we were on 2nd floor!) and NO AIR CONDITIONING!! The hotel appears to be old and, although in fairly good condition, the lack of an Elevator & Air Conditioner were significant inconveniences. Also, their parking spaces are quite limited -- we were advised by the Front Desk Staff that if we drove our vehicle to dinner, we would most likely NOT be able to find a parking spot when we returned and would have to park wherever we could find a space along the street!
If we were to return to Te Anau, I would choose to stay elsewhere!"
