We had a wonderful stay at the lodge. We only had breakfast there but it was excellent and in a beautiful setting. We played pool every night in the game room and enjoyed the hot tub after our hike. A little pricy but a very nice stay.

Wonderful Stay

The Fiordland Lodge is a wonderful place to relax and feel at home while traveling. The staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, and warm. The Lodge itself is in perfect condition and the included breakfast is a wonderful addition. We hope to stay again in the near future.

This was a luxurious stay. The setting is great, the cabin was clean and comfortable. The shower was odd though, as it only has an on and off setting, meaning you can't control the power of the jet, which resulted in excess water spilling over as there is also no way to control the direction of the shower head.

6/10 Good

A cozy place in Fiordland!

Our stay was really good, but we strongly suggest the hotel makes the correction of many very popular websites where they indicates the availability of elevator which is not correct. We are frecquent travellers of more than 20 years and we always aime for 5* Hotels and this is the first time ever that we have found a closing time for breakfast as early as 9 o’clock.

Bed was very old and tv was from 1990s with 5 channels. Bathroom had no hooks to hang anything up. Lights in room where flashing during the night. Other than that food was amazing and views

overpriced

Was disappointed in the room considering the price we paid. The common area is lovely and huge and themed in mountain log cabin style. We were taken to our room which was a small chain hotel style room and dated on top of that. The bathroom was particularly tired and dated. Not all lights were working and and there was no reading light available and only 2 channels on the tv. Views were lovely and breakfast, which was included was delicious. But having stayed in a $200/ night motel a couple of days prior which was,spacious,up to date,sky movies,modern bathroom, seperate bedrooom,lots of lighting options and also had lovely views. It was super disappointing to be tucked away into a tiny room for 5x the price. Charge $500 NOT $1000.

Little pricy but you get what you pay for. This was the best place we stayed during our 3 weeks New Zealand trip. The location is very nice, close but not too close to town and on the way to the Fiords. The host and staff super friendly and helpful. They noticed I'm a (very) picky eater and eat too little of their set menu (which my wife enjoyed) and had the chef cook one off's for me. (Don't ask for this :) I'm sure this should not become common practice). The trip is now 2 1/2 years ago but I'm still thinking about this place and had to write this review. See it for yourself.

Fantastic unique accommodation. Local timber used to build the lodge makes it warm & homely. Great hospitality by staff helping with general knowledge of area & service to make us feel welcome. All the added extras were appreciated & is what makes a holiday feel relaxing & comfortable. Quiet location from Te Anau but a 5 min drive & your in town. Meals fantastic & changed daily.
