"A retreat fringed by swaying tussock grass on the edge of Lake Te Anau, Fiordland Lodge is the luxury choice for travelers visiting Fiordland National Park on the South Island. The lodge was designed to magnify the inspiring local environment; that means 36-foot tree trunks for beams in the main lodge, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace laid with river stones, and glass walls that frame Lake Te Anau and the oft snow-capped peaks of Mount Murchison and Kepler Track. The palette is neutral and understated, always putting the emphasis on the exceptional natural beauty of the area. Themain lodge and two private cabins feel like a world unto themselves—a beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing world that is at the gateway to the Milford and Doubtful sounds and all the other Fiordland National Park wonders."

Stayed here for four nights in February for our 30th Anniversary. We were blown away with how great it was. The setting is beautiful, with views over the lake to the mountains. Hospitality was warm and friendly. Food was excellent with enough variety to keep us happy over all four days. We really appreciated that they would do early breakfasts on a couple of the days we had early starts to go to Milford or Doubtful. Hot tub and games room were fun. Truly one of our favorite hotel experiences anywhere.

The Fiordland Lodge was out of this world. The beauty of the location made it so special. The staff were excellent and made every effort to make the stay as stress free as possible. The food was delicious and beautifully presented each day. The entire experience was just outstanding! The hot tubs were such a treat too, cannot rate this location highly enough!

3 things we loved: 1. staff- every single one is thoughtful, kind, warm, welcoming. 2. breathtaking views. 3. Hot tubs- private, surrounded by native grasses, overlooking the lake, easily reserved. ||2 things that made us thoughtful: 1. Food is average. Feels and tastes like it’s been prepared in advance. 2. Rooms in main lodge are not well sound proofed and seemed like we were sharing a room with our neighbors.

We loved our two-night stay at the lodge and were sad to leave our stunning perch overlooking the lake and mountains and starry sky. With just 12 guest room, this property felt like a small luxury lodge for family gatherings (we arrived after four days at the larger and grander Blanket Bay Lodge). Service was relaxed and personalized, with most guests coming or going on some mountain adventure. Rooms were comfortable with lovely patios and nice amenities. Manager Andy was chill and accommodating (even arranging complimentary laundry service), and we loved getting to know outdoorsy waitstaff duo Jazzy and Jimmy. They recommended several hikes between the lodge and Milford Sound. We ended up leaving the hotel at 8 am in our own vehicle, getting to Milford at about 10, taking a 10:45 cruise before the Queenstown tour arrivals, then hiking to beautiful Lake Marian in the afternoon. It would have worked well to hike first and take the 2:45 cruise, but I think we would have had a more crowded experience in the fjord. Come prepared to swim in the refreshing, crystal clear water of Lake Marian after a short but fairly steep and rocky hike up!

Fiordland Lodge was an incredible place to stay. The views over Lake Te Anau were breathtaking, with the lodge’s open design making the most of the scenery. It felt peaceful and secluded, yet still close enough to town for convenience.||The service was outstanding—warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff went out of their way to make the stay special, whether it was helping with activity planning or just adding thoughtful touches throughout.||The lodge itself had a cozy, upscale feel, with beautiful woodwork, comfortable spaces to relax, and a great atmosphere. It was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Fiordland.||Would absolutely recommend and hope to return!

As a party of four, we found the Fiordland Lodge's Lake House extremely underwhelming. Located in a residential area of Te Anau, it was anything but private and secluded. There was a public walkway alongside the property as well as another in front but further away allowing people to look directly into the house, people were camping on the block next door to one side and there were caravans and dumped cars on the other. The views looking out from the house were stunning but negated by the cheap fit-out of the property, including hitting one's head on the ceiling when men stood up from the upstairs toilet, flimsy towels, no hairdryer downstairs, the bedrooms were very basic and lacked a chair to sit on, room service was poor and the breakfast provisions were appalling and inadequate. The Fiordland Lodge was unavailable on our dates and we were led to believe that the Lake House was a luxury retreat. We found it anything but.

It’s all about the view. The suite we had was on the corner of the building and very spacious, with great storage for clothing. I’m a complete “unpacker” and there is nothing more welcome than ample space and coat hangers. The Fiordland Lodge had both.||Staff was pleasant and very responsive to special accommodations. We had to vacate for one evening for an overnight on the Milford sound. Staff picked up and stored our baggage that was waiting for us in the when we returned. Ice buckets were always refreshed.||The heated mirror and floor in the bathroom was wonderful. Plush towels and robes. And ample countertop space. ||The food was good. Two choices for dinner’s entree, main and dessert. Breakfasts are homey and fresh. One itch was the formula of having guests come down to the common room for “canapés” and drinks at 6pm and in so doing, order one’s meal. Forced interaction with other guests. Not something we enjoy doing.||Enjoy a hot tub if you visit… they are immaculate, private and offer an indescribable view, especially at sundown. ||With their close proximity to Te r’s opportunity to go into this small town for a lunch or shopping. Two very fine NZ “souvenir” shops—- more like boutiques offering finely made jewelry, clothing and pottery.

Fantastic Hotel|We stayed for 3 nights whilst in Te Anau. |Everything was wonderful. The room, the staff, the food (breakfast and dinner)……the location, the wine. Couldn’t ask for more. |The staff were so helpful. Early coffees when we had an early start for Milford Sound. Stored our bags while we had an overnight on Doubtful Sound. |It really was fabulous.
