Susanna was an incredible host and the location was spectacular. Our favorite accommodations and wish we could have stayed longer. From the hot tub you have a 180 degree view of mountains, Te Anau Lake and the valley. Thank you Susanna for wonderful memories, we hope to visit again in the future.

Amazing Views

Very Clean! Gorgeous view! This place must be new because it is very up- to- date. The pictures are nice must do no justice of the stay here compared to in person! I highly, highly recommend. My husband and I are builders in Florida on the Gulf of America side. This place is eco friendly and very clean and well built. The contemporary feel of the rental is extremely tastefully done! You will not be disappointed! The host is detailed making everything very easy. We travel a lot, and this place was very pleasing, and I am very persnickety.

Star-spangled sky & snow-capped mountains ... LUXURY

Everything about this property and the accommodation experience is 100%. Susanna clearly has a designer's eye & has fitted out this eco-retreat beautifully. Everything is considered * heated floors * separate towels for the hot tub * an extensive portfolio on adventures/guides in the region & local dining options * quality linen * unlimited wifi We couldn't have wished for a better stay. The hot tub on a freezing July night was magical. What a stunning spot. Stay here, you won't be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Susanna

Host profile image
We’re passionate about Fiordland, and love to get out and explore it whenever we get the chance. Having a young son means that we are enjoying a slightly slower pace of life these days, but we’re looking forward to being able to get out and do more hiking, mountain biking and skiing / snowboarding as a family.

Glen is an Ecologist, and has a wealth of knowledge on New Zealand's plants and wildlife, and can help answer any questions that you may have.

I (Susanna) grew up in England, and travelled extensively until I found Te Anau in 2012, which I instantly fell in love with and deemed to be ‘the most beautiful part of the most beautiful country in the world’. I’ve held many tourism-focussed positions since moving here, including a season sharing my knowledge of Fiordland with visitors at the Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre, and two years managing Fiordland Cinema (a definite ‘must see’!). I’ve also spent many years in voluntary community committees, organising internationally-renowned events such as as the ‘Kepler Challenge’, and the ‘Te Anau Tennis Invitational’. I’m now extremely grateful to be able to spend every waking moment with our young son, and to help guests to enjoy our little piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property

We built this property as an extension to our own family home. It's a self-contained unit with private access, but it will eventually become part of our family home. For now, we're loving sharing it with guests!
