When you pay for a Deluxe 2 bedroom villa, you do not expect to be in a very tired looking, very marked with bits of paint and paper missing and black mould around the overflow in the vanity sinks. We were however appreciative that the heating was on before we arrived and the room was warm.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. appreciated being offered quiet location in the restaurant bar for dinner and area for breakfast due to the tours going through at the same time. Easily walkable to anywhere in Te Anau Villa was a bit dated, but bathroom had been totally renovated and was clean and quiet. Bed was only a double was soft and had roll together, probably time to replace.

We enjoyed our villa stay. Room was dated but the bathroom was nice and the room was clean. The pool and shared areas were a bit run down but we hadn’t planned to use them anyway. The breakfast was nice! Would stay here again

Stayed in one of the villas. The place was decently clean although we did find some utensils that had been left dirty from the previous person. Beds are comfortable enough but worn. Really nice new bathroom. Only a couple minute walk to the main road with all the stores and restaurants. Very friendly staff. Buffet is great and worth it.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa, which was in the back of the hotel. We had no lake view, but the villa was quiet, clean and comfy.

The Distinction Te Anau Hotel and Villa was located in a great location. The rooms were a bit outdated but they were very clean. There was no a/c but we did get a fan that was great and could cool us down at night. We used the laundry facilities. The food both breakfast and dinner was really good.

Pros - Excellent check in and checkout, great service and breakfast was superb!! If you go for the buffet breakfast option, it's very good and everything is on there. Cons - villa was dark and dingey and despite most of the villas being empty we were placed as far away from reception as you could get and right next to a family. Wine glass had a lipstick mark on it. I expect better than this for the price but everywhere else was booked so this accommodation gets those of us that are desperate and stupid with our money.

Old and musky room yet spacious and comfortable. Mattress was springy! Bathroom is tiny and very outdated. Sauna was good but spa was filthy! Breakfast was lovely, appreciated the egg station. Location is great, overlooking the lake. Overall, not worth the super expensive price tag.
