Very clean and well looked after. It is like staying in someone's home. The furniture and fittings are old-fashioned but very comfortable, especially the recliner lounge chairs. There is a kitchenette equipped with a bar fridge, toaster, microwave, jug and cooktop. The manager made us feel welcome. Although the rooms do not have water views as they face the side street, the cabins are in a great location directly across the road from the lake. We walked each night beside the lake and just enjoyed the tranquility and beautiful scenery. It is also quite close to the tourist office (Real N.Z.) where you can board the boat to take you on the Glow-worm Cave tour. There is also a seaplane there for flights over Milford or Doubtful Sound. This is a comfortable and affordable place to stay which allows you to prepare some meals and has a laundry with washing machine and dryer which is also handy if you are on an extended holiday.

Great location, good room

We stayed here for one night when visiting Milford Sound. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room itself was a bit dated, which is fine. Overall, our stay here was good. It’s beautifully located on a corner on the lake front, a short walk from the Main Street.

Convenient location for our day trip to Milford Sound, located within walking distance to the town centre. Parking available on-site, right outside your doorstep. Room was spacious and equipped with decent heating. The property itself is a little tired looking and could use some sheer curtains across the main windows to allow some light in while maintaining a level of privacy.
