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.
