The room was comfortable and we had a good night's stay. Altho it is located just across the street from Lake Te Anu the view from our room (& all others?) was of a parking lot, not the lake. Lake views were nice in the restaurant, but breakfast was an additional cost. Staff were flexible in letting us ck out an hour late.

This hotel is right on the front beach strip at the lake. We had a peak of the lake and hills out our window over the roof next door. The staff is lovely and the area is remarkably beautiful! Thanks, Kingsgate!

Great value for what it is. Depending on your room location outside noise can be an issue, but otherwise it's a great price for a clean simple room.

Poor amenities, very bad compared to other properties in Te Anau. Avoid them. Very old and dated rooms, no parking available. Lots of tour companies do block bookings here. No ventilation in rooms. Bathroom much smaller than it appears in photos.
