Hotels near Kepler Track in Te Anau

We stayed in our hired campervan for 3 nights. It is a very clean and well maintained site with nice views over the lake, a 15 minute walk from the facilities of Te Anau. The shower blocks are very clean and warm and well equipped with hairdryers etc. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, for example for our walk to the Kepler Track nearby, and in booking a Milford Sound Cruise for us at no extra cost.

When booking accommodation at a holiday park we weren’t sure whether it could be something we would regret. We are a couple in older age group doing a trip to Doubtful Sound. We were delighted to find Tasman Holiday Park on the beach front, adjacent to the cruises and town ship. Our motel units were modern and set as a small cluster . A separate modern kitchen and family dining was available to all the units . A good set up for family groups . Reception was prompt and very pleasant. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

The hotel is not by the lake, at the corner of the road, about 5 minutes walk to the lake. It was opened by a Chinese couple. After so many days, there was a Chinese-speaking front desk. The owner was very friendly. Cars are parked in the hotel for free. Milk was delivered upon check-in. The room is large and has a kitchen, so you can fry and cook your own food. The bed is 1.8 meters, bath products, hair dryer, kettle, microwave oven, stove, towels, no slippers, toothpaste and toothbrush, the room is clean, there is a heater, you can turn on your own heating. Not far from the supermarket by car, not far from the visitor center, the freshchoise supermarket here is quite large and has a wide variety The hotel does not include breakfast, you will leave after you eat bread and check out at 10 o’clock on time

The room is not big, the location is excellent, facing the lake view, the snow-capped mountains against the Manapuri Lake is like a fairyland. Stayed for four days, reluctant to leave. The pier to Doubtful Sound is nearby, and walking along the lake is the ultimate enjoyment. Wan Lai was all quiet, except for the sound of the lake beating against the shore. Personally, I think this place is better than Queenstown because there are few people and the commercial atmosphere is not so obvious. Driving to Lake Te Anau is only over 20 kilometers.

When you a stay at Possum Lodge in Manapouri, you'll be near the beach, just steps from Lake Manapouri and Te Wahipounamu.

Clean. Well appointed. Water in showers was like a raging river! Town just 2 minutes walk away with a variety of reasonably priced restaurants. The Ranch - you need to book at that restaurant. Other restaurants were fine but customer service was fair - very very slow at some places. This doesn't really matter if you are on holiday though. Doubtful Sound was recommended over Milford Sound as it is evidentlly more beautiful according to a local tour guide. The road to Milford Sound is clogged with campervans, cars and motorcycles - worst of all - large motor coaches with diesel engines. Consider Doubtful Sound instead. Staying at a holiday park is a very budget way to travel - you can bring and cook all your food, do a load of washing, and relax at your sight. Many European visitors were present here unlike other destinations where more Asian tourists are present - doesn't matter really as a tourist is a tourist - just an observation. Most attractions are free includng the Salmon Display, the bird sanctuary where you can see the flightles and endangered Takahe and other birds. The Department of Conservation visitors center has a wealth of information and is worth a stop on your first day. Also - the Milford and Doubtful Cruises are often fully booked so it is highly recommended you book this in advance. Hope this is helpful!

I have been to Te Anau on two prior trips (early January 2017 and 2020) and always wanted to stay here given its reviews. However, lodging in the town is often nearly fully booked more than a month out. On my first trip, I had to use Airbnb. On this trip, I was excited when I was able to book a room in Radfords on the Lake. However, the day before my flight, Air New Zealand cancelled our flight from North America making our road trip impossible given ferry reservations. Kerri, the owner, graciously cancelled my reservation without fee despite being just inside the non-refundable 14-day window. We did manage to book a new trip to New Zealand a couple months later months in March and were happy to stay at Radfords. Kerri was very personable and remembered us from prior phone calls. Our one bedroom suite was nice and comfortable after a somewhat long drive from Wanaka. The hotel has laundry facilities, which we took advantage of. The hotel is located right next to the lake with the town center a few blocks away. Most people are passing through Te Anau to visit Milford Sound and it’s a good stop for two nights to break up the drive. This gives you more time to enjoy the area around Milford Sound, potential to wait for better weather and do some hikes along the way, such as Key Summit. On my first trip, I caught the first cruise of the day on Milford sound and followed it up in the afternoon with a kayak trip the length of the sound. My second trip was a night between completing the Routeburn Track and starting the Milford Track. Of the four days, I spent in Milford Sound one was raining and you could only briefly see the peaks. This also roughly aligns with my four days on the Milford track where one day it poured rain and another day was cloudy obstructing peaks. In summary, if going to Milford Sound spend a night or two in Te Anau to have a better chance at having a good experience when visiting Milford Sound. When I return to Te Anau (likely winter to see the classic snow on Mitre Peak), the first place I would look to stay would be Radfords on the Lake.

Built in 1970 to a very high standard, the Luxmore reminds me of the L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown (Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice video) & the Ahwahnee Hotel (The Shining movie)! Perfectly positioned in the main street of Te Anau and a short walk to the Glow worms cave tour boat pier. Plenty of free parking and a quiet location. The rooms are spacious, excellent pressure and stable hot water temperature. We booked the package deal of Glow Worms tour and breakfast. The hot breakfast menu was extensive in the Bailiez Cafe & Bar. Special mention to ”Yana” on the front desk for excellent service.

Because this brand hotel selected in Wanaka was very satisfied, I chose this brand in Te Anau. Very good location, on the edge of Lake Te Anau, very close to the Firefly Cave, 5 minutes to the supermarket; the room is large, clean, can sleep 6 people, pre-heated, rice cooker and hot pot, is the facility A little old, one room has electric blankets, the other is not; the toilet is a hard wound. In the middle of the two rooms, the sound of the toilet is very large, and the whole house will wake up. There are two cats in the yard, not afraid of people, will take the initiative to get close to you.

The room is particularly large, and the floor-to-ceiling window is a large lawn, which is comfortable and cozy. The host was very nice and helpful. Then we were told to go to Millford to fill up first, because there is no gas station over there. The greening of Te Anau is great, and it is quite good as a transit point to millford.
