Family-friendly Hotels 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.

Lovely views from our rooms (we booked 2 rooms) Clean and spacious. We also dined it Bailiez Cafe Bar. (Which is attached) Beautiful food and great service with a few Gluten-free options superb 😀 👏👏👍

Hotel location is good, open the balcony door, through the lawn, the road, straight to the lake, very quiet town.

Compared with other cities in New Zealand, the price/performance ratio is not high. It feels that the hotels in Te Anau are a bit expensive, but the overall room is still satisfactory, and the cheaper is better.

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.

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 rooms are not bad, that is, the first room has no water when taking a bath at night, and the room is a bit tossed. Everything else is fine, Wi-Fi is not good. There is a kitchen, but you have to bring your own pot, rent a set of pots and bowls is about 5 knives.

We travel very often and can honestly say we have never been welcomed so friendly and treated so great. Although an older building, it was very clean and welcoming. Room was very spacious with a small living area. Coffee station and toiletries was very good. We had a room with a reasonable lake view. We had to do some laundry while there. It was so easy in huge machines. We stayed there on by birthday and was treated with a lovely breakfast. Although a small selection, it was extremely tasty and freshly made. We wanted to stay for breakfasts on other mornings but could not as we had to leave early. Thank you so much for an awesome stay. Will be back again.

I stayed here for about a week over late December 2021 and early January 2022. New Zealand was still largely closed to international tourists due to COVID-19 border restrictions and a number of accomodation providers were't open. There was good availability with accomodation providers that were open. Te Anau was busy without being crowded, very pleasant. In many ways the Bella Vista Motel is a delightful place to stay. The owners are friendly, welcoming and helpful. It's only five minutes walk from the town which has a good supermarket and some excellent cafes, restaurants and food caravans. The bed was incredibly luxurious with a comfortable mattress and 5 star hotel quality sheets and linen. However, the room was small. There wasn't a lot of additional space apart from the bed. One of the reasons I choose a motel rather than a hotel was because of cooking facilities. Most motel units have a kitchen or kitchenette. The Bella Vista has different kinds of rooms, some with full kitchen facilities and others with more limited cooking options, and their online reservation system did specify these. Moreover, due to browser issues I found booking online to be quite complicated. When I checked into my room I found that the kitchen facilities were extremely limited, almost non existent. I could make coffee and tea and prepare toast in the morning on the extremely small bench space and that was it. There might have been a microwave, but I don't use microwaves so it wasn't an option. I ended up getting most of my meals for dinner at the amazing Bao Now caravan, some of the best street food I've ever had anywhere. The kitchenette area, a small bench above a fridge also did not have its own tap, water or sink. I had to get water and wash dishes in the bathroom sink, just along from the toilet, which wasn't particularly pleasant. The other aspect about the rooms were that, at least surrounding the room I was staying in, there was virtually no soundproofing. I could hear almost everything in other rooms - conversations (even when people were speaking quietly), television, showers and flushing toilets. This was not generally a problem as fellow guests were quiet and respectful and lights seemed to be out by 10pm. The limited soundproofing (at least in the room I was staying in) didn't cause any major problems sleeping, but it could if the rooms were occupied by guests who like to stay up late. Generally the lack of full kitchen facilities, small room size and limited soundproofing didn't cause any problems as I was out everyday hiking, cycling, and going on float plane and helicopter trips. However, when staying for a reasonable amount of time in a place (such as a week) I sometimes like to have a break mid-week and relax for a day where I'm staying. This wasn't really that possible here. Admittedly I did get the smallest and cheapest room. I would have paid more for a larger room with full kitchen facilities (these are availa

We had a 3 night stay in one of their super king studios which had a full kitchen. Irene was a great host who we had chats with. Rooms are modern and look to have been refurbished not so long ago. Great base to explore Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and the Fireflies. Its a cute town on the lake with several restaurants located in town. We had an enjoyable stay.
