The only real downside side was the construction going on right in front of the view. It was very loud and really ruined my experience. I booked a room with a patio lake view because I envisioned sitting out and enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning while being completely relaxed and mesmerized by the view, but instead it was loud jack hammer sounds! I was also excited to sit in the soaker tubs with that view, but the view was also a big crane with construction workers moving about, not as intimate as I envisioned. Once the construction is over, it's a perfect place, until then, not worth the amount I paid for a view. I gave it 4 stars because it's a quality place just not a great time to have chosen it.

We stayed in a studio which has some pretty rad views, it's clean, and friendly service. If you have stayed next door in the lakeside apartments you will be disappointed in the quality, but hey it's half the price! The only drawback for me was the lower quality build means there is some traffic noise from the road out front. Wanaka has become a super busy tourist destination over the past decade, which has unfortunately brings crowds of people. Overall The Moorings is a decent value for money place to stay. But if your not so worried about what comes out of the wallet, hit up lakeside apartments... best place in town for sure!!

We had an excellent view of the lake and a large patio. We especially enjoyed the convenience of the mini-bar and the prices were reasonable.

There is a free shuttle to downtown but it's best to confirm as some of the set times are only available by request. Rooms: We had the superior 2 bedroom. We had a lovely mountain view from the patio. The fireplace is warm and cozy, even if it's not real wood. The master bedroom opens to the view but the second bedroom is on the smaller side. Kitchen and living room were spacious and everything was very clean. There are heated floors in the bathroom and heated towel racks. The washer and dryer were very good. Service: Front desk service was hit or miss. We checked in twice after spending one night in Te Anau. Some of the staff were friendly and some were stoic. We were unable to eat at the restaurant because it was booked up but the bar menu was delicious and we were able to enjoy the view while eating. They held our luggage for us several times. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I ever come back. The view is gorgeous and the spacious apartment was lovely.

The staff was all very friendly and helpful. Kerri checked us in gave us maps and great tips about where to eat and things to do while in Te Anau as well as for our trip to Milford Sound. It's on the pricier side for Te Anau but this is a great option if you appreciate a nice suite, a convenient location, want a kitchenette AND a great view of Te Anau right from your room!

Hubs and I enjoyed having our own apartment like space and shopped at the local "dairy" (grocery store) where we were good citizens and returned our "trundler" (cart) (I digress, but I love all the new vocab we've been exposed to in NZ); after many meals out, it was nice to enjoy some low key time and slightly healthier food at home. The staff is very thoughtful and made recommendations about places to go and things to do while we were in Te Anau. We took most of the recommendations (Milford Sound with Real Journeys, the Fiorjdlands Movie, Redcliff and the Kepler Track) and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the little touches such as finding a mint on our bedside tables each night and the way the tub included candles and scented bath water sachets. We made use of the DVD lending library in the lobby and caught up on some New Zealand based films ("The Fastest Indian" was adorable). Finally, free wifi was a wonderful thing as well! Location wise, the Radfords is great and is an easy walk to town. It's a little spendy at $200/night even during the off season, but we truly enjoyed our stay!
