Comfortable Stay in Te Anau
We stayed in Te Anau after visiting the Milford Sound. The Distinction Hotel was right on the lake across the street and a good location for walking to other places in this small town. We stayed in a Villa Room which was huge. It would have been great for a longer stay, but we were only there overnight. The room was clean and comfortable although it was detached from the main hotel. Parking was convenient to the Villa but was difficult to navigate to in the darkness of night. We ate at the restaurant in the bar and the food was exceptional. Our server was great and made a perfect suggestion for breakfast the next day on our way out of town continuing our journey. I would stay at this hotel again.

We had a nice stay at the hotel. Beds were comfortable, shower was good, and the breakfast was really good with a lot of options. The staff were really friendly! The one downside is the pool was very cold, so don’t plan on swimming outside of summer time!

The hotel is directly across the street from the lake and convenient to the town centre's shops and restaurants. The facility itself could use updating, including the installation of an elevator, but rooms were otherwise very clean.

The property is in a great location by the waterfront. It is a bit dated but in decent condition. There isn’t an elevator, however, there is staff to help carry luggage to room. We had dinner at the hotel one night and the food was great. Breakfast buffet was ok— probably typical quality of a small town hotel.
