Stayed for one night at the Distinction Te Anau. The room was clean, but a bit dated. Bathrooms looked recently upgraded/remodeled. The property is right on the lake and we had a nice lakeside view. Staff at the property were friendly and attentive. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from most of the restaurants although there are a few right next door. My stay offered free breakfast, and it was quite a nice breakfast spread. There was toast, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit, eggs (scrambled and boiled eggs), multiple juices, etc. and coffee. There were also decent little pastries. Their coffee was also pretty good. Usually hotel coffee for these types of things is pretty bad. If you are looking to go to Milford Sound a nice option is to stay in Te Anau for 1 or 2 nights and get the tour from here. The tour cost is substantially lower and you don't have to do the entire bus drive (5 hours ish from Queenstown) in one day which is a very long drive. Overall a good experience.

Great location, clean, great views and hotel staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. The only thing to be aware of is the hotel appears to accommodate a lot of bus groups, so if you're looking for a more quaint environment, there are likely better choices.

Room was nice, however, the grounds, pool area, and spa are in need of a major upgrade. Frankly, the landscaping and spa/ hot tub was depressingly forgotten about.

Needs an interior upgrade in the corridors and stairs leading to rooms, very dated and shabby. The bar area was beautiful and the dinner was excellent. Be sure to get the cheese plate for dessert, fantastic! Staff was very helpful and so pleasant.

This is an excellent hotel, we had a villa which was so spacious as we are away for an extended time we have lots of bags. I cannot praise the staff enough, from reception, bar and restaurant to housekeeping, everyone was great, even let me check out late for no cost when our trip plans got changed at the last minute

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.
