Hi Iain
Thank you for your comment, my house keeper is very efficient so I will let her know there was no tea towel left in the cupboard for you, very sorry about that. As for our request of not cooking strong smelling foods, this is for future guests comfort, as strong smelling foods cooked, linger and is very difficult to remove for guests checking in the following day. We do try our best for all our guests.
Thank you again 😊
Great stay. Property exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Wanted to see Milford Sound, so the town was a good option to stay at for rhat reason. Glad we chose to stay a few days there and explore the area
We loved Renata’s place. It was so spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We loved that each bedroom had its own tv, and also the outdoor dining space. It’s a short walk to the lake where you can get a stunning view.

Thank you Kathy, we love to hear you enjoyed your stay 😊
Despite the entire south end of the South Island not having power, which led to one of our vehicles running out of petrol,and the closure of the Milford Sound Road, we made the most of our stay in Te Anau. This thanks in large part due to the house we stayed in. A large, efficient wood stove, and the woodshed full of dry, split firewood kept us all warm, and the gas stove enabled us to have a delicious, hot supper, Our host, Renata was needlessly apologetic, and concerned that we were ok. It is a wonderful home and we enjoyed our visit, hoping to return to Te Anau and Acheron Way when mother nature is a little less volatile.

Thank you Chris. Despite southland being declared in a State of Emergency during your stay and we had no form of communication, I'm so very happy you enjoyed your stay and you were still warm and comfortable, we hope to host you all again when Mother Nature is a bit kinder 😊
A lovely larger property. Very clean, well equipped and modern. Nice sized garden with children's climbing frame and trampoline for those with kids. A resident hedgehog called in to see us!Very quiet location but just a short walk away from the water front and 15 mins from the shops and restaurants. Lovely views of the surrounding peaks adds to the attraction of this home.
Like many visitors, we were drawn to Te Anau to visit one of the nearby fiords (called sounds here). We knew at this point of the trip we’d need laundry facilities, and we’re happy to have an onsite washer, dryer, ample detergent and a drying rack. The house is big (4 bedrooms), in a quiet neighborhood not far from town and very clean. It’s nice there are online movies available and a large table to play games. Games are available and the kitchen includes everything you need to cook. Small suggestion: It would be lovely to have a small of container of milk in the refrigerator to accompany coffee and tea in the morning. The mini split air conditioner is in the living room and doesn’t reach the bedrooms with the same vigor as it does that room. Even in the summer evenings are chilly making it a non-issue.

Hi Melinda
Thank you for your kind words, we do our best to ensure all our guests are comfortable. We have considered supplying milk as an extra gesture for guests, but have found many guests drink a variety of milk these days, so concluded it's best to leave this to our guests, as they generally get some sort of supplies from the local supermarket for their stay 😊 We hope you enjoyed our majestic fjords.
We love making family memories, if it be fishing on the lake, hunting in the mountains or bike riding around town often ending up at the lake, and we're happy we can share this beautiful spot with our guests.
Why they chose this property
Te anau is a beautiful spot with amazing mountain views while relaxing by the lake. Many great walks and a wide variety of activities for the whole family.
What makes this property unique
Our home is spacious and warm and modern, located in a quiet and very safe area with mountain views from the deck.
