We absolutely loved our stay at Radfords on the Lake in Te Anau. From the moment we arrived, it was the finer details that really stood out and made the experience special. The rooms were immaculate, beautifully presented and incredibly comfortable, with stunning lake views to wake up to each morning. The little touches throughout the apartment showed how much care and thought has gone into making guests feel welcome and relaxed. Perfectly located, peaceful and luxurious without feeling pretentious. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

The room was spotless, view of the lake & park are awesome, co-owner was wonderful with excellent recommendations for things to do, landscaping is beautiful, location is excellent with the lake right in front of you as well as trails, and downtown was an easy 5 minute walk on sidewalks or through the park. Highly recommend the Radford.

Room was nice albeit we heard folks coming going when positioned in front unit given side stairs to get to 2nd floor unit. Staff (Kerry) was very helpful (restaurants and tour suggestions) but I missed a few details that are a bit unique: - safe is keyed to your room key which has a dedicated code written on it. I missed instructions on safe given this was not what I have been used to - coffee pods are not marked however inside a kitchen cabinet door there is a display indicating which pod is which type of coffee. - jetted tub has candles (nice touch) but took us awhile to find matches. Also there is separate power switch for tub. - if you do not want your room changed you have to put out do not disturb tag (found in a closed drawer) which requires hanging tag on open window latch since sliding doors do not have a knob to hang tags. Accommodations were lovely, and location is easy walk into town. Plus most tour operators recognize the hotel as a pick up stop.

Special appreciation for Kerri who was incredibly kind to allow us to check in early. I had been battling food poisoning and needed to get to a bed earlier than normal check in. Not only did she get us in early, she also had recommendations on what to take to feel better and personally checked on my health the next day. That’s the kind of incredible customer service and human kindness that will make our stay at Radfords on the Lake unforgettable. Thank you Kerri!!

The rooms were designed so beautifully. The bathroom was a bathroom of dreams with heated floors and a rainfall showerhead.

This is the best one night stop if visiting Te Anau for a short stay! All the bells and whistles for a luxury stay. On the lakefront, walkable to the village and has a knowledgeable hostess with so many tips for the best places to eat and play! Thank you ☺️

We were here only one night, but loved our stay! First, the staff is amazingly nice and kind! The location cannot be beat! It's legit right on the lake! We walked everywhere and the rooms are great! Highly recommend and was kind of sad we didn't have longer! We made our own dinner and sat outside at the table looking at the lake!
