Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The private lake view room we had was perfect - like a hotel room with all the usual amenities, but with a really reasonable price. Good location close to town and you could also use the common facilities if you wanted to. We got a parking spot most of the time, but if not, there was free parking on the road.

    The hostel was conveniently located and on the waterfront. The staff were really polite and helpful. The room and bed were comfortable. There is free parking on site or on the roads at the front and back. There isn't a lot going on in Te Anau so for me it was a place to pass through on the way to Milford Sound
