So many of the places in Te Anau seem to charge a fortune for a view of the lake - we went for Parklands as a cheaper option that was conveniently situated. It was a large apartment with view over the park across the road. We had a balcony to sit on and the rooms were clean and well equipped.... More

Our group stayed in two different rooms - both were comfortable The first was a double with no cooking facilities. It was towards the back of the motel and clean and comfortable. There was a share kitchen/dining area for these units. The second was a one bedroom apartment towards the front of the motel - this was larger and had... More

I stayed at Parklands twice for a single night before and after hiking the Kepler Track - both times in Unit 7. My choice was largely based on Trip Advisor reviews, since there are a lot of options in Te Anau but nothing that really stood out to me. With that said, I had low expectations going into my visit.... More

We stayed - due to the recommendations of Tripadvisor - at this motel and due to the booking even for 2 nights. Our room was a remembrance of the 70s. Unfortunately, not in the state of the 70s, but with a usage of another 40 years. The only good thing was the clean bed. Whenever I thought during the day... More

This is a very basic but perfectly adequate motel. If you are looking for a clean, central place to crash, this is a fine motel. Our room had a full kitchen, two beds, a couch, a coffee table and kitchen table. If you are looking for any kind of extra luxuries, then you will want to look for another location.... More

The room was clean but furniture is tired and needs replacing. The same goes for the crockery and the kitchen fittings. It's in a good location but there are many others around which present better.

Parklands is located about a 10 min walk from the New World grocery store in town and about 15 min to the Real Journey boat dock for the Glow Worm tour. The path through the park is located to your left as you exit the motel. It is lighted at night. The motel room was a decent size. No kitchenette... More
