"Located on the shores of Lake Te Anau, this hotel has 14 rooms.
It's a luxury hotel apartment, or more accurately, a high-end motel. Originating in California, USA, it gained popularity with the rise of road trips, similar to American motels, European hostels or inns, and British B&Bs.
In New Zealand, any accommodation where parking is connected to the room falls into this category. This one is adjacent to the lakeside trail, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and water. It's newly renovated and well-equipped, with a two-bedroom room particularly suitable for a family of three. However, compared to similarly priced five-star hotels, the service is less refined.
A two-day stay, my first experience with a motel. It's neither the detached atmosphere of Edward Hopper's paintings, nor the ambiguity of Wim Wenders' writings, nor the gloom of *** Talese's shadows. Simply put, it's a clean and simple place to stay. Overall, it's a good place to stay in the town of Te Anau.
One more thing: the rooms on the first floor are next to the parking lot, so privacy isn't ideal; the second floor is better. However, the first and second floors are randomly assigned upon arrival. Even if you booked the second floor through Ctrip, you may still be assigned to the first floor upon check-in. This was the problem I encountered on this trip."
