Hailed by Rudyard Kipling as "the eighth wonder of the world," the breathtaking Milford Sound is the star of glacier-carved Fiordland National Park, providing an emerald-green and waterfall-rich backdrop for hiking, biking and kayaking. Frequent downpours only enhance this South Island beauty, sending numerous waterfalls cascading down the cliffs. Passionate nature lovers book in advance to hike the 33-mile Milford Track, a legendary route through alpine passes and temperate rainforest.

Booked a 1 bedroomed apartment with lake views. There was a road between the motel and the lake, and a lawn so had great views. The apartment could have comfortably slept five. Toilet was separate to the bathroom and both had heated flooring. Very good value for money with friendly hosts.

Disappointing. The thing I was looking forward to most was the food as the reviews and photos looked very good. Also, their sample menu looked amazing. Many choices per course. But this is not the reality, they are only doing a set menu per evening with only one choice per course. We did not like some of the ingredients in two of the courses and therefore did not enjoy them. I feel they need to remove the sample menu from their website, as it is misleading and they should tell people when they book a package deal (accommodation and dinner) that dinner is a set menu with one item per course. Considering there is only one choice I feel they should not be charging $90 per person. Also the eggs benedict my partner ordered in the morning looked like it was a child's portion and had very little salmon. What made this experience worse for me was the fact that it was my 50th birthday so I was hoping for something special. Hopefully when they start serving dinner again in the spring that they will have more choices available. The lodge and the rooms were very comfortable and cozy.

Red Tussock Motel is on Te Anau lakefront but has limited views from the Apartments of the lake as we are only at the beginning of the road but just walk across the road and the lake is an amazing and peaceful place to sit. We currently have 12 Apartments from Studio to a 3 Bedroom Apartment but by 2018/2019 Summer Season we will have 20 Apartments with 8 Apartments under Construction currently. We offer to our guests friendly service with a homely style and great local knowledge of the area plus most places in NZ. Come and stay 2-3 days as we have more than enough to keep you busy in Te Anau NZ
Robin the motel manager couldnt be more helpful- nice guy and obviously loves his job as shows in level of service - very nice well presented motel units- spacious and close to everything John and Steph
