From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the wonderful and friendly Kerry we felt at home. The unit was perfect. They have thought of absolutely... More

This was our second stay at Radfords - we were glad to have noted the name and contacts after visiting some 5 years ago. The property is just as good, very well presented, spotlessly clean, and well provisioned. We had a 2 bedroom unit on the ground floor that had heaps of room. Great place to use as a base... More

Probably the best in Te Anau. Lovely, welcoming staff. Very tolerant (as I had stuffed up the booking). Large rooms and very clean.

My husband and I stayed at Radfords for 2 nights in early May during a trip out to Milford Sound. The deluxe room was outstanding and we had beautiful views out over the water. Everything we needed was in our room and it was so thoughtfully decorated, including lit candles when we returned from dinner! Being able to prepare our... More

We only stayed one night because we kept driving, spending each night in a different town. The room was very nice, located within walking distance of restaurants and attractions, clean, comfortable...and a lovely view from the patio we had. Kerri was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She mapped out some routes, gave excellent suggestions, etc. Would stay there again for certain!
