Perfect base to explore Te Anau and surrounds

The house was very modern and well equipped for our stay. We stayed for three nights and there was just three of us but the house could accomodate larger families easily. Easy walking distance down to the Main Street and shops and restaurants

We had an amazing stay, the house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed.

The house was spacious and clean for 7 adults and 2 kids. It had everything we needed to cook our own meals and Bbq. The best part was having the kids outdoor trampoline, swing and sandpit. Also, the kids room with toys and books. We felt so relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Just wished we stayed a few more nights. Thank you.

Staying in Te Anau

This was a beautiful house which was clean, comfortable and catered perfectly for our stay. It snowed very heavily whilst we were there but the house was.so well insulated, we were warm and cosy at all times. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants an experience to remember.

Te Anau feedback

Only three sets of sheets were left for four people. The sheets didn’t fit the beds properly, some did not have fitted sheets and the sheets smelt musty like they had been in grandmas attic for years. The wifi cut out around 9-10 pm and did not work again for the rest of the stay. Other than those two issues the property was spacious, clean and comfortable.

Comfortable, well taken care of home

This home was clean, spacious, and comfortable for our stay. We were in the area hiking and enjoyed coming back here after a long day. The backyard area was very nice and the kitchen had all the necessary cooking utensils for a home cooked meal. While here we cooked on the provided grill and were able to wash a couple loads of laundry. Everything was provided to allow us to easily do both of those things. The beds were clean and comfy and the living area gave us lots of room to spread out. We would recommend this home to stay in.

Hi
My husband and I have 2 young children. We both grew up holidaying in Te Anau as kids, and wanted the same for our own children and the rest of our family, so we decided to build in Te Anau. We are very proud of our holiday home and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do!
We hope you enjoy exploring this beautiful part of the world

Regards Chantelle and Bradon
