Parklands Motel and Apartments Te Anau — Hotel in Fiordland Community

Their amenities are gold apparently, ask for another roll of the paper - because they only provide one used roll in the room, and it's like asking for a kidney. Same for any extra towels etc. All shampoos, soaps etc. are half used. Hot in the room no AC, no insulation can hear all neighbors, and if you open a window or sliding door be sure you will be seen by everyone. No privacy! Also make sure you read all their fine print, fees galore if you break mom and dad's rules!

Felt harassed by owners constantly watching us through the windows. They come in your room when you are gone, without permission. It's like living with obscene racist overbearing parents.

Oh yes we were brown and felt they were watching us for this reason. Never will I stay here again, and I will make sure I tell my friends...

The motel has a great location and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very large, but quite dated - the interior felt a bit like a large student dormitory, especially the toilet. The walls are also paper thin - we got woken up by our neighbour's phone alarm at 6am, and they had alarms set every 10 minutes just to make sure you'd definitely wake up with them. The wall was vibrating loudly with the vibrations of the phone too so I'm guessing the motel was built before mobile phones were a thing. You also don't quite get a mountain view from the mountain view rooms - more like a view of the tall trees...

Positives: Spacious Rooms, remodeled baths, good kitchenette, heated mattress pads, awesome laundry facilities, xlnt parking, charming playground, trampoline, grassy area for games, bbq, good ventilation, but you show the world your room interior, and security ....well....there isn't any of your room has open windows. Most rooms are pleasant on a summer evening, but 14 is a very sunny corner unit. At 10:00pm my room was 29C or about 80 F. I need A/C under these conditions. They do not clean towels etc. I cannot sleep with the sliding door open. This probably will not...
