About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Panoramic Fiordland lake views from sunny rooms. Fresh wind blown Linen ! 😀!
Come and enjoy what Te Anau has to offer, peace and quiet, grand mountain views and beautiful bush walks. Day and overnight boat trips in stunning mountain and bush terrain. The Glow worm cave trip is excellent for everyone in the family. Thrills can still be found blasting down the Waiau River where some of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings film was made. A challenging 18 hole golf course awaits and the tennis club is gaining international recognition. Our stunning holiday home is only a short walk to the lake front, restaurants and 3 world class walking tracks but far enough away from any traffic to feel lost in the views. Backing onto a reserve there is plenty of space for children to play. The indoor outdoor flow makes this home easy living, you stay sheltered from the elements at all time and can still absorb the view. The table tennis room is proving very popular with all ages and is a welcome activity if the weather has turned ! But even then the moody backdrop of the mountains is awesome ! We have put in a small sandpit to keep the toddlers amused ! There are 3 queen sized beds and two king singles in one bedroom which are also suitable for adults . We do have a 3 bedroom property at 27 Jackson street if you have a larger group looking for quality accomodation. Special conditions: Pets only by arrangements. Extras: cleaning ( NZ$75.00 per stay); Come and Visit Invercargill as part of your trip enjoying a stunning drive from TE ANAU on the Southern Scenic route through stunning scenery including breath taking views travelling alongside the sea fromTuatapere to Riverton . We also have houses at Riverton and Invercargill so ask us for information and availability.

Good Stay
This was a very nice place to stay while visiting the Milford Sound. We loved having 4-bedrooms, and washing equipment. The main level was very nice and met our needs. We did a lot of our own cooking, and would have appreciated a better skillet/knives and access to a corkscrew.

Inconvenient upstairs toilet
Location is great, close to town and unit was clean. Although the cookware and knives need to be replaced, the unit received a lower rating because you had to walk from toilet room to other end of the unit to wash your hands!

Te Anu visit
House was in a pretty, residential neighborhood. It was better than we expected from the pics of it. We thought it a bit unusual that the owner showed up before our checkout time on the last day. Without identification or notice it made us nervous as to who was walking in the house . Otherwise , great stay.

Lovely place in a beautiful location
I stayed here for 3 nights with my wife and sister in law and 10 year old. It was absolutely amazing value. Spacious and sunny, and just a few minutes walk to the lake and main town centre. I would 100% stay here again. Thank you!
