Just taking a moment between jobs around the motel, to stop and appreciate where we live and these stunning views. We love spring in Te Anau.

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.

Did you know that last winter we completed new fit-outs to all the kitchens in all our units? This included adding dishwashers and coffee pod machines. The kitchens now have a modern finish with a contemporary feel.
Every year we set out to refurbish or improve an area of the property ensuring we are always providing the highest quality accommodation to our guests.
