It is easy to see why The Radfords rates tops year after year. Modern accommodation with comfortable, spacious rooms and quality throughout. Amazing attention to the little things that often means so much: Like switching on the heating an hour before we arrived, and the use of a 'loan laptop' when ours were left at home. Excellent value for money!... More

The owners of this beautiful hotel have done a remarkable job of making this location, the rooms, and the atmosphere perfect for exploring TeAnau.

The employees were fantastic, loved the renovations, very cozy ambience. We stayed on the ground floor and we were right in front of the water. Spacious rooms with attention to detail, down to the chocolate mints. Thank you for a fantastic experience. We left a postcard in the room, and Kerry at the front desk mailed it back to us!
