Top The Key Hotel Reviews

Fiordland Lakeview Motel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great place right on the lake. Really helpful & friendly staff. Town centre a 15 min walk. Lots of places to eat."

Parklands Motel

8/10 Good

"The owners checked us in and were extremely helpful with dining options. The room was nice. Ours was small but comfortable, although the furniture was a bit dated. Be sure to bring your wine glasses if you drink the local wines as they are not provided in the kitchen or room. The kitchen is shared with other clients. If you need to store refrigerator items the kitchen refrigerator is bigger than your room. and the freezer is large as well. This was handy. Housekeeping is not daily, but I’m sure the managers are happy to oblige if you need clean towels, etc. The shower was terrific and the bathroom looked newly renovated and was lovely. I would stay again."

Lakefront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lakefront Lodge was a perfect overnight stay for us while in Te Anau. The staff were very helpful and kind. There was no issue leaving a bag overnight while we stayed on Doubtful Sound. The location is great for a lakefront walk and close to the amenities of town. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. There were cooking facilities although we didn't use them. Would stay again."

Tasman Holiday Parks - Te Anau

8/10 Good

"I stayed in one of the cabins for two nights in October 2026. It was lovely and clean, and quiet. I had everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Mike who I met on arrival. It’s is within walking distance to the shopping area and the lakefront. I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so myself."

Distinction Te Anau Hotel And Villas

10/10 Excellent

"El Hotel está muy bien ubicado y creo que es el más bonito de la ciudad tiene un muy buen desayuno, aunque ya se ven un poco viejas las instalaciones el gimnasio está en otro Hotel de la misma cadena y deja mucho que desear las vistas que tiene el Hotel son bonitas"
