Really liked this place for its location, friendliness, garden seats and free internet (well done – one of the very few in NZ). It's located in a quiet part of town yet is only a short walk to the main street of Te Anau where all of the shops and restaurants etc are to be found. There is also a... More

the room allocated to us was very pleasant, opposite the garden and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The bathroom was small but quite adequate and the new owners were extremely friendly and helpful. All in all I would recommend this motel as being good value for money. I wish we had had an extra night in the area.

We spent two nights at the Aden Motel, our greating was friendly and advise where to visit was helpfull,glow worm caves a must.Our room was a good size and clean nice comfy bed. The town was not to far to walk,the lake even closer.We had a problem when we washed our clothes as the people before us washed something fluffy... More

We stayed 3 nights at the aden motel. It's very close to the lake but is very quiete located. The rooms are spacious. On our last evening there was a problem with a heating pump, making noise on the roof of our apartment. The lady from the motel called a plumper to fix it and after 30 minutes everything was... More

We spent only one night at the Aden Motel but wished we had planned for more. Our 2 bedroom family unit was large and well appointed. Nice size rooms, perfectly adequate kitchen and large bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean. The hostess was friendly and very helpful. If you go, enjoy the glow worm cave and the beautiful lake. The town... More

We stayed here before and returned which is a recommendation in itself. It is a short walk to the centre of town and an even shorter walk to the shore. The rooms are clean perhaps a little dated but have modern TVs and free WIFI. For us on a longish trip it's a good place to spend a couple of... More

We were at the Souther Discoveries information centre. Requested some informations and this motel was recommended by Marie . The self contained unit we had, has 2 bedroom 1 lounge and a full equiped kitchen. Beautiful garden at the back of the kitchen. The unit is clean and tidy ( most important). We washed our car direct infront of our... More

We stayed two nights in Te Anau because the town is (very) small and quiet, away from the crowds, as well as close to Milford Sound.  Here, the sky started getting light at 430am, twilight still after 10pm during our trip!  Birds singing at 5am...nature walking until 9pm! We got a one bedroom unit that was well appointed with: a queen sized... More

Irene and Dave had only taken over this motel two weeks before our arrival and were by their own admission still learning. They are naturals and will do very well if their friendly ways continue. The motel is in a group of similar small establishments serving the Milford Sound trade. It is a good stroll from town but in fine... More
