Had originally booked another (more expensive) hotel in Bluff for the night before we took the ferry to Rakiura Stewart Island, but when I saw that a room had opened up here that wasn't when I originally booked the other place, I jumped on it and I am very glad I did. We loved the Art Deco design of the building and we were very comfortable in our room. It is also within walking distance of the ferry terminal, and several shops, including a supermarket (and there is a fridge for guests to put their cold things in back at the hotel). Pam and Mike are the kindest hosts - not only did they tell us about the local sights, but they also let us park our car in their carpark at no extra charge *and* they gave us a lift to the ferry. Upon our return, when Pam learned we had been seasick on a very rough ferry ride back to Bluff, she was so kind and made us ginger tea so we would feel better before setting off on the next leg of our journey. We are very glad we changed our booking to the Foveaux! We would totally stay here again.

Check-in was nice - we were a bit apprehensive because we were arriving late (by New Zealand standards) but staff were available to greet us and check us in and give us a tour of the facilities. We were also a bit apprehensive about shared bathrooms but there was absolutely no issue with availability. It was a bit of a cold night (for us) but the hotel and the room were well heated. The options for breakfast were satisfactory.

Such a beautiful place - scenic views and great shops, restaurants and cafes. A great place to transit on tours to local attractions or outdoor activities. Family friendly and such a beautifully maintained area - gorgeous gardens and walk ways. So much to see and do. We booked the Milford Sound Cruise and is was so easy to meet the bus and enjoy a fabulous day out. We ate at the Thai restaurant and got great coffee from several different locations. Will definitely visit again.

Manapouri is a lovely little spot with a beautiful lake that’s incredibly peaceful and scenic. There’s a great second-hand variety store worth browsing, along with a small café and eatery for a relaxed bite. Surrounded by stunning farmland and natural landscapes, it’s the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the quiet charm of the area.

Quiet little town between Queenstown and Milford Sound.

Quiet little town between Queenstown and Milford Sound. Room rates are very reasonable; and the attached resturant was very good. The lamb shank was excellent! Fun place to hang with the friendly locals. It is a good 3 hour drive to Milford Sound from here (not the 2:15 the GPS will say) so you need to leave extra time if you have a boat tour scheduled. Mossburn is a good place to gas up your car before leaving for Milford Sound or Queenstown. Our room had a large attached bathroom, and the shower had great water pressure. Secure parking located behind the building gave easy access to the rooms. Don't be afraid to go to Milford Sound if it's raining; the waterfalls are even more spectacular!

Do go sailing on Faith - wonderful hosts, an excellent trip into the fjord in the mist and trek into a hidden lake in the National Park. Our hosts were not only passionate about their wonderful boat, but also the area in which they live as well as being knowledgeable about the ecological environment. Te Anau is a serene place to visit, particularly when the sun is shining. Don’t miss a meal at Redcliff - good food in a charming house not far from the waterfront.
