Hotels on the Lake in Fiordland National Park Area

Nice property, rooms are a little smaller than they appear on the photos but fairly standard size for this kind of place. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and parking was very easy. Only thing to be aware of is the shared bathrooms get very cold at night since they leave the windows open so be prepared if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

The price was good, the rooms were nice and large. Rooms and hotel in general are older, but in reasonable condition. Not really soundproof, as it was at times quite noisy from the hall or adjacent rooms. Fine for a short stay. Apparently, there is a restaurant on site, but only open depending on the number of guests staying at the hotel. Not to matter, plenty of dining options in town.

The staff were great, without them I wouldn’t bother to review. It all looks very very dated…like nothing has been upgraded for about 25 years. Our room had a small double bed and a single so we slept in separate beds…the mattresses were comfy but the single bed was pushed up against the wall and the pillows were terrible, really cheap, flat and thin. Old towels a bit threadbare. There was a cold night so we put the heating on, next morning there were pools of water from condensation dripping off the windowsills in the room. A few slamming doors from other rooms but otherwise ok from 9pm on. It’s not terrible, it’s clean…it’s a decent location for Milford Sound 2 hour drive away unless you’re staying in the limited accommodation actually in Milford Sound.
