The tea and coffee provided in the room were poor- powdered with creamer and sugar. we'd prefer them unmixed and fresh milk to be available. Otherwise, good and a great outlook of the lake

We loved Te Anau. The loft was great. Comfortable bed. Nice decor. The community kitchen was well stocked with supplies and clean. We appreciated being able to do laundry. The property was well-located and peaceful.

On first arriving you think you’ve checked in to a backpackers, there’s multiple options at this property and each one is satisfactory for the price, we loved our room which was Greenstone room overlooked the lake and was very comfortable, for the price compared to other properties on Lakeside 10 out of 10.

Great location overlooking the lake. Shared kitchen facilities good but cleanliness reliant upon other residents. Also noise at night reliant upon consideration of other residents.

We didnt realize when we booked here that it was also a backpackers property. We were impressed with the thought that had gone into the property. There was a lovely big communal kitchen for everyone to use, a lounge for people to sit in if they wanted to and our rooms were very comfortable and quiet. Was very impressed with the set up

This is not a hotel but rather four remodeled rooms above the reception/kitchen/patio hangout of a backpackers and clamping site. The rooms are nice, but if you are a light sleeper you’ll be kept up by the backpackers drinking and partying just below your front door til way past midnight and then woken up in the early morning as some guests cook and eat breakfast in the kitchen right there.

The room was fine. I would like to have known I was booking a room at a youth hostel at the time I made the booking with through Expedia, though, we didn't realize this until we arrived. It was quiet at night which was good.

My stay at Lakewood Lofts in Te Anau was the highlight of my trip around New Zealand. This place is truly a gem! Situated right on the lake, the location couldn't be more perfect. The experience of watching the snowfall over the lake from the comfort of the Lofts was nothing short of magical. The serene and picturesque setting provided an unforgettable backdrop to our stay. Everything about Lakewood Lofts, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the stunning natural beauty right at our doorstep, was absolutely wonderful. It's a rare find that offers a perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty. I can't recommend it enough to anyone visiting Te Anau.

Overall an ok stay. A bit of noise from the shared kitchen downstairs. The thing I'll remember though is that the shampoo/body wash in the shower was cut with water and almost no shampoo was left. That's super offputting. At that point don't provide any and have people provide their own.

These rooms are part of a a back Packers, right above the kitchen and recreation room hence the noise. You may or may not like the idea of it being part of a back Packers how ever you don't get to choose as the listing actively avoids any mention or photos that would alert you that it was a back Packers, the first you know is when you arrive. That being said it is a recently renovated decent sized room with a good view of the lake, it has a shared balcony, it could do with a fridge and a fan. Our stay was pleasant enough except for the the early banging and crashing from the kitchen below. Despite the great view it's way to expensive for what it is and I wouldn't stay there again.
