The hotel had a beautiful atmosphere when I arrived, but I was a bit let down by its dated feel. The service was absolutely amazing, with friendly and helpful staff around, though some seemed too busy to approach us. The dining experience was fairly average, with some oily and cold options left out. Overall, a mixed experience with its ups and downs.

The hotel is perfectly situated overlooking the lake and offers easy access to shops and the tourist hub on Lake Te Anau. The rooms are spacious, comfy, and well-equipped, although they can be a bit cold initially. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm welcome and pleasant stay. The dining experience could use some improvements in freshness and variety, but the traditional Marche products are a unique touch. Overall, a great value for the location and amenities provided.

The hotel had a great location for easy access into town and was perfect for a stroll along the lake. The rooms were spacious enough in terms of space but faced the driveway where tour buses passed early in the morning. The service was described as not up to standard, but the staff were super friendly and helpful. The dining experience in the morning buffet was criticized for limited options after busloads left. The place needs a spruce up to match its cost.

The hotel had nice and clean rooms with comfy beds that were serviced daily without us having to ask, although it did get very hot at times. The service was friendly and helpful although there was a mix-up with my booking for the glow worm cave. The location was great, only a short walk from the town center and close to the beautiful Lake Te Anau. The dining experience was somewhat lacking, with limited options and more geared towards Asian guests. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor issues to consider.
