This place was phenomenal!! Wonderfully situated on the lake with an ideal view and convenient (walking distance) to literally everything. Clean, comfy, and well-appointed. An excellent hostess who gave wonderful advice, booked all experiences, made reservations for dinner, you name it; this cannot be under-rated, as the weather conditions change rapidly in Fjordland and having someone who can help with bookings, advice, and changes of plans was immeasurably helpful! The little touches were amazing - water on hand to refill bottles, great laundry facilities, ease of parking, etc...Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Radfords is so much more then a Motel. The service we received from the moment we walked in the door was first class. The room and furnishings were first class. Having never stayed in Te Anau before we came really under dressed. Not a problem says our wonderful hostess. Here are coats for you all as you will need them on your cruise on Milford sounds. I spoke about my new love. Cheese rolls. Here is the recipe for you she said Absolutely nothing was to much trouble. We will most differently be back. Thank you for a wonderful couple of days. Merry Christmas to you and your staff.

I can’t say enough good things about Radfords and also the manager, Kerri. She is extremely helpful and welcoming! By my own mistake, I booked a “1 bedroom with access”, which in NZ means handicapped. Yikes. Our bathroom “shower” had a curtain in the corner, and a drain close to the middle of the floor. It could not keep up with the shower flow. Our 1st morning here, our bathroom floor was soaked and a mess. As soon as I asked Kerri for a different room she obliged willingly, and even helped us move our belongings while we were out on a tour. We happened to be at the front desk on Halloween afternoon, and she was truly lovely greeting the little trick-or-treaters! As far as the room, it was thoughtfully equipped with just about everything we would need for our stay in Te Anau. We were able to make breakfasts and coffee in our kitchenette, and took advantage of the washer and dryer onsite. The location is absolutely perfect, on the lake and a short walk into the center of town for restaurants and shopping. Our Milford Sound cruise tour bus even picked us up in front of the hotel! Just a lovely place to stay while exploring Te Anau and the Fiordland National Park. Highly recommend Radfords!

This is probably the best place to stay in Te Anau especially because Mrs Kerri. She knows her stuff and makes sure your stay has all that you need. Comfy bed, air conditioning, toiletries and hot water, heated towel rack and splendid little breakfast. We loved our stay here and is a perfect get away! Also right on the water and is the best location for walking through the town or around the lake!

Berkley – November 2024 Read Reviews
The facilities, location, cleanliness were all fabulous but what really stood out was Kerri and her hospitality. She expressed genuine care for us and the success of our trip. Not only did she get us scheduled on the best local day trips to optimize our short stay, she but she also ensured that we were being charged reasonably and even provided warm outer wear for us to wear during an unseasonably cold spring week. I’ve never experienced such a caring host at any accommodation / hotel, and she was the reason we were able to make the most of our trip and our excursions. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Radfords with Kerri!

Did you know that Fiordland is a great place to explore the night sky? There are some great spots along the Milford Road perfect for some stargazing. Chat to our team before you head off and we can provide you with ‘Star Charts’ and a ‘planisphere’ and instructions on how to use them. Along with binoculars so you can get a closer look.
