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.

Clean Unit

This VRBO was the cleanest I have ever stayed at. I commend the cleaners. It was a great stay. The only nitpick I have is that wifi is slow if more than one person is using it. I still give this place five stars.

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

New clean and relaxing

This made a wonderful place to stay for all there is to see in the area. The location is a quiet neighborhood that’s an easy walk to town for dinner and supplies. The house is modern and clean. It was just the two of us, but it could easily fit a large family or a couple groups.

Perfect Family Getaway with Comfort and Convenience

We had a fantastic experience at this property! The house was a perfect size and layout for our family, with a separate lounge that provided great space for everyone to relax. The kitchen was well-equipped, making meals a breeze. We loved the comfy living area—it was warm and cozy, especially with the two heat pumps keeping us comfortable over the cool weekend. The location was also very handy, just a short distance from town. Overall, we highly recommend this place for families looking for a welcoming and convenient stay!

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
