We had a great stay at this lovely hotel on the lakeside at Te Anau. We booked a lake view upstairs room and it was perfect! Comfortable bedroom, spacious lounge with kitchen area and a little terrace to enjoy the view. We were welcomed warmly and given a helpful map and some recommendations for supper and breakfast all of which were excellent. We were able to park the car for the time we were there and enjoy our trips to Milford Sound and the Glowworm caves. So a very relaxing time in our tour of New Zealand. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel in Te Anau – just book it! – Rhodes February 2026 Read Reviews
Best place we have stayed in New Zealand. We had a lovely one bedroom ground floor apartment. After travelling for 3 weeks it was lovely to have space and kitchen amenities. The property is obviously very well maintained and is very modern. Staff were very nice and helpful. The bedroom had a very large king bed and single and great big walk in shower with lovely large towels. Don’t hesitate to book Radfords on the Lake.

Great modern well maintained accommodation. Tops our list in New Zealand – LUVITX February 2026 Read Reviews
We loved the comfort, modern style and lake views of the Radford. We had a suite with a kitchen, living room and bedroom. Being on the second floor was a plus for the views. Kerri, the receptionist at check in office, was extremely helpful before the trip and while we stayed at Radford. She goes out her way to help you book excursions, find good restaurants, anything you need.

Great place. Highly recommend – Susanejo, March 2026 Read Reviews
We are on our 11th day of our New Zealand tour and this is by far the best place we have stayed a night during our trip. The presentation of the facilities from the outside is absolutely fantastic. Excellent parking! Checking in was a breeze. Our room is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful views of the lake. Tonight was blue skies and wonderful sunset. I was so delighted to see cold water in the fridge…..I live off cold water so it just made my day. Cannot go wrong staying here….just absolutely fantastic

Beautiful Hotel and views – Dennis L March 2026 Read Reviews
Wonderful place to stay. Spacious and spotless suite with nice views of the lake. Good location, a short walk from town centre. Kerri was very helpful recommending things to do/places to eat. Service/support was fabulous during a power outage. Kerri brought candles, flashlight and thermos of hot water so we could make hot drinks and then invited us to a barbecue for dinner that night. A truly amazing place.

Our stay was a 10 out of 5 – Traveller376 November 2026 Read Reviews
