“ The staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and at ease, especially when we were stressed about whether we'd be able to visit Milford Sound. The room itself was very well appointed, with refreshingly different décor, so tastefully done for the price. The tui birds singing at night made a magical addition.

- Ian

“ We spent two nights at this motel which is located along the Lake Te Anau waterfront road and an easy 5 minute walk into the central area of the township. Our hosts, Paul and Karen, were both most welcoming and hospitable. The interior of our until had a dated colour scheme and fit out but it was delightful, quiet and warm. The bed was particularly comfortable. The bathroom, like our unit, was spotlessly clean with excellent hot water supply and shower pressure. The towel linen was very good. Our unit was well serviced. We would happily stay at Red Tussock Motel on a return trip to Te Anau.
