A five minute drive (if that) out of Te Anau means you can have a exceptionally quiet nights sleep. Large cottages with cooking facilitates, large bathrooms, comfortable bed and bedding, and numerous tv channels should you just want to blob. You’ll need a car to stay here. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our stay, hosts were very welcoming and the cottage was comfortable and clean. The cottage we stayed in was very private even with other guest either side of us. Fantastic view of the mountains and a peek of the lake.

We were very impressed with our cottage. It was immaculate, contained everything we required for our three night stay, easy distance from Te Anau, with Rachel being a respectful host. Electric blankets and heaters were appreciated as it got to -5°! An extra bonus would be laundry facilities
