We found this a great base for exploring the Milford Sound area. The house is cozy and we had good communication from the host.

Stephanie United States of America

It’s a lovely house with a newly renovated bathroom.

Alice Macau

The host (Mrs. MJ) is the loveliest we have ever met. The meet & greet was grate. The cottage is pretty furnished, good equiped and very cozy. The hos gave advise for dining and travelling. We got breakfast with homemade yogurt.

Sergey Russia

Clean,comfortable, good location. Good for a family of 4.

Timothy New Zealand

I like every detail of the house, decorations are beautiful.. the lovely smell of shampoo and conditioner also lovely..

Priscilla Indonesia

Well located, Quiet neighborhood which was 3 mins drive away from restaurants, supermarkets and cafes. Clean and comfortable for 4 people, with all the amenities

Anonymous United States of America

The cottage was really clean and comfortable, and in a great location, just a few minutes drive or 15 min walk from centre of Te Anau. It has a lovely garden and was really peaceful. The host was really helpful and communicative at all times, and provided us a travel cot, as well as let us have a late check-out so we could rush a bit less on our last morning and fit in the glow worms - highly recommend that! There were also colouring pencils and toys for our 3 year-old so that kept him happy, all in all would definitely recommend staying here!

Jane United Kingdom

Wet homely clean cottage in a lovely quiet spot. Had a lovely garden with plenty of outside furniture. Shower was nice and warm and bathroom has recently been updated. Everything there you need. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Samantha United Kingdom

It’s a very lovely and tidy cottage! Due to the flooding, we stuck in Te Anau, the owner gave us many useful suggestions, Thanks for her kindness kindness!

Company info

I first fell in love with Fiordland when I came here to work in tourism in 1985, this began a career in the hospitality industry. I moved back to the region in 2012 when I bought a motel business, I have since sold this and now I manage holiday houses. I love meeting new people and helping them to enjoy our beautiful backyard which is Fiordland National Park. Please feel free to ask for suggestions or booking advice on the various trips and things to do in the region. I am happy to send you out some extra info.

Property info

Kea Cottage is a newly refurbished brick town house. It is situated in quiet street close to the town centre. (3 mins drive). It has 2 bedrooms - with a queen sized bed and a single bed in one room and 2 single beds in the other room. The house has a full kitchen with microwave and oven. Open plan kitchen lounge dining room. We offer complimentary tea and coffee facilities. Free unlimited WIFI. The bathroom has been totally renovated in July 2018.

Neighborhood info

Te Anau is a beautiful town situated on the shore of Lake Te Anau, the township is small but very friendly. Te Anau is the gateway to Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound and the walking capital of New Zealand. The Kepler Track leaves from just nearby. There are many lovely walks in the area and an excellent cycle path. Take a cruise on the lake with Cruise Te Anau or visit the glowworm caves as well as a visit to Milford and Doubtful Sound. You must check out our local bird sanctuary, where you will see the Takahe and the cheeky Kaka. We have excellent cafes and restaurants in Te Anau, I am happy to advise on good places to eat and activities to do. TOP TIP: Stay longer definitely for more than 1 night!
