Visiting from Australia. Spent 3 nights in this wonderful town taking in the sights of Lake Te Anau and the fabulous Milford Sound. Hosts Selby and Janelle are amazing! We were greeted with fresh home cooked (Janelle) muffins on our arrival and again early this morning as we set out for the day! Superb! The motel is spotlessly clean, quiet,... More

We could not have wished for a more helpful and informative guide to the attractions in the local area. The welcome was exceptionally warm and the accommodation was very clean and practical. Location was very good and was great value for money. Loved the area surrounding and would love to go back again!

We were a group of 16 and stayed for 2 nights while visiting Milford Sound. A good choice as it happened. Whilst some units may be small this is made up for by quiet location, cleanliness of the motel and the extra cosy beds. Add to that the attention and thoughtfulness of the wonderful hosts - Janelle and Selby. Not... More

When arriving at Bella Vista, one is struck by the attractiveness of the modern design, in bright and simple colours. Location next to a quiet park suited us, away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. We were warmly welcomed by Janelle with the home-prepared muffins which she prepares daily for new guests, a nice touch. We were... More

We have stayed in a lot of Bella Vistas over the years and Janelle and Selby most definately win the award for best hosts. Friendly and welcoming with muffins for all when we arrived. Great car parking, handy to town, clean and tidy.
