The location was wonderful...walkable to the lake and to town so once we parked in our own carport, we didn’t need the car in Te Anau. The owner Mary was friendly and knowledgeable.

Marcel New Zealand

We had a few rainy days in Te Anau and this room, location and grounds made it easy! Easy walk to town, cozy room to hang out and beautiful grounds as well. Wish we had better weather to enjoy it all! Hosts are lovely and very helpful with information about local destinations - special welcome fruit and treat basket.

Deborah United States of America

The location is very close to Real Journeys Center. Convenient to book for glowworm cave and grocery shopping.

Yi-lin Taiwan

The owners were amazing, so kind and helpful! Great communication when I messed up the booking dates. We had internet issues in our room one night and they were quick to fix it and follow up on if everything was working again. The room was very big and spacious with lots of space to move around. Bathroom was lovely and modern with decent water pressure. Kitchenette was great with enough utensils to cook with. Very easy and quick walk to the town centre - can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Very well appointed studio room. Extremely helpful management--booked trips for us and gave a lot of good advice.

Everything was excellent. The room was actually much nicer than the pics shown. Super clean and hosts Mary and husband were extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. Location is also excellent. Just cross the park and you reach the town center and all its restaurants and shops.

      • • Submitted from a mobile device

      The property was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We were upgraded to a two bedroom apartment so we had a lot of space to spread out and relax. The bed was very comfortable. Mary and Nigel were very helpful especially with advice on the area and trips. The weather was not in our favour so our trips from Te Anau did not go to plan. We will have to return someday and would certainly stay here again.

      Nothing.

      Property is clean and spacious. Facilities were great and has one of the best bed and pillow which allows a really good rest. Property was also close to city centre which provided much convenience. Both owners Nigel and Mary are so helpful and welcoming which makes the stay so much better. It’s really a perfect 10 for rating.

      The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The views back and front were very nice. Mary, the owner was very welcoming and friendly and booked our trips for us. Would recommend highly.

      From the moment we arrived we felt so comfortable. Mary was amazing. She managed to book us on a Doubtful Sound trip for the next day. The owners of this accomodation go above and beyond. The rooms themselves were immaculate. Very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place without question.

      The location was wonderful...walkable to the lake and to town so once we parked in our own carport, we didn’t need the car in Te Anau. The owner Mary was friendly and knowledgeable.
