I mostly loved our stay at Distinction Te Anau. The staff were amazing, the food was excellent, and we had beautiful views of the lake. It looks like renovations are underway. The bathrooms felt modern, while the bedrooms were a bit dated. One important note if you have mobility issues like me: you may be placed at the very end of the hall. I understand why, as there’s parking at the back and a shorter walk from the car, but if your plan is to enjoy the hotel facilities (breakfast, dinner, laundry, etc.), definitely ask for a ground-floor room closer to reception. That long walk had me rethinking my life choices… especially on the way from breakfast 😭. Accessibility aside, I genuinely loved our stay and would absolutely return! Now that I know exactly what to ask for next time! 🌿🏞️

This is an excellent hotel, we had a villa which was so spacious as we are away for an extended time we have lots of bags. I cannot praise the staff enough, from reception, bar and restaurant to housekeeping, everyone was great, even let me check out late for no cost when our trip plans got changed at the last minute

When you pay for a Deluxe 2 bedroom villa, you do not expect to be in a very tired looking, very marked with bits of paint and paper missing and black mould around the overflow in the vanity sinks. We were however appreciative that the heating was on before we arrived and the room was warm.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. appreciated being offered quiet location in the restaurant bar for dinner and area for breakfast due to the tours going through at the same time. Easily walkable to anywhere in Te Anau Villa was a bit dated, but bathroom had been totally renovated and was clean and quiet. Bed was only a double was soft and had roll together, probably time to replace.

Stayed in one of the villas. The place was decently clean although we did find some utensils that had been left dirty from the previous person. Beds are comfortable enough but worn. Really nice new bathroom. Only a couple minute walk to the main road with all the stores and restaurants. Very friendly staff. Buffet is great and worth it.
