Very pleasant experience. Very central, but pleasantly quiet. Very dog-friendly--she is now a big fan of Te Anau. Would certainly return.

Well appointed, clean and well located
Large property with lots of space for everyone to keep their distance in the middle of a long family trip! Good value and location compared to many other private rentals in Te Anau (the town does seem particularly pricey). Furnishings and kitchen outfit feel a little dated but do not detract from the overall comfort, and I think are quite representative of other accommodations in the area. Kitchen was well-appointed with lots of space, everything works and you can cook up a big meal if you wish. A good place to catch your breath for a couple of nights.

Clean and Warm
Comfortable little house, with a well fenced private section. Was a cold weekend and the house was lovely and warm, with a heat pump and fire available. Great location, across the road from the club, and a short walk into town. House had everything we needed.

Great Layout and Amenities, some updates needed
Owner thought of pretty much everything: kitchen was very well-equipped, laundry room included a clothes dryer and drying rack, which were much appreciated. The bathroom was well-appointed and plenty of towels were provided. Some of the furnishings and one of the queen-size beds need updates and the hallway floor was very creaky.

All the amenities in the home were great but felt the appearance of the internal decor looked a little tired.

Great location, very old furnishings
The good news is you are a short walk to the town and lake. The bad news is the furnishings are decades old and desperately need updating. The house is clean and the bedding and towels appear new. It is in a quiet neighborhood so that’s a plus.

Im Urlaub wie ein Einheimischer
Wir fühlten uns wohl in dem zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommenen, aber mit allem ausgerüsteteten Einfamilienhaus in guter Lage zum Ortszentrum.
