A great locations for exploring Fiordland National park. We kayaked in Milford sound, hiked to Lake Marian and enjoyed good dinners at “home” as well as at Nona’s. The house itself is clean and has most kitchen amenities. It’s very close for a walk to downtown and a very fun playground across the street. The lake is also a short walk away.

Perfect for a family of 5

This house is the perfect base for your Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound adventures, but don't overlook Te Anau itself. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore, and you are only a few blocks from Lake Te Anau and some spectacular views from the marina and Te Anau Terrace.

Great location, nice home

This was a great spot for our time in Te Anau. We used it as home base to explore the region (hiking, Milford Sound, etc.). Location is hard to beat - very close to the lakeshore, business district, city park, Fiordland DOC Visitor Center and multiple very good restaurants (Ditto, Redcliff, Miles Better Pies). We cooked meals multiple times and the kitchen and pantry were well stocked. Beds were comfortable but not posh. If you are looking for a luxury location, this isn't it. It was serviceable and adequate but not luxurious - which was fine for what we needed. Quiet street. Would recommend.
