Really enjoyed our stay at this property. Amazing views and yet convenient to town. Modern and very clean with hosts that were personable and super helpful. Would recommend this place to others without reservations.
The room was so comfortable and beautifully setup. We loved taking in the lake and mountains and using this place as a stop on the way to Milford Sound.
The environment is very quiet and so nice. The room is very nice and the breakfast is included, it is in the frigde. We loved our stay there. Russell is very kind. Thank you for hosting us!
Pleasant stay. Nice private apartment attached to house. Very clean with a comfortable bed. Great views of the mountains. Easy check in and check out. I would highly recommend. Great place to stay coming to and from Milford sound or doubtful sound
Pollys accommondation was so beautiful! We had a good time there. Everything was perfect. It‘s a really clean Appartement with a great view! And the beds at the Appartement were very comfortable! Thanks for the hospitality!
Our stay with Polly was just perfect for our couple of days in Te Anau. Comfortable and beautifully furnished with everything we needed. Communication including check in was seamless. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Polly.
Amazing place - very comfy with amazing views. The bikes were an unexpected bonus. We enjoyed cycling around the lake and makes heading to town easier without needing to drive. We hope to be back one day
This is a fabulous place to stay! We couldn’t get over the spectacular views in every direction, including our bedroom window! We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and private place that was very convenient to town, too! Polly was a gracious host who even did our laundry for us! Outstanding place that we hope to stay again someday!
A relaxing stay in modern apartment near mountains
This apartment is located near Te Anau, overlooking the mountains. It is very well-equipped and comfortable and the the hosts are kind and helpful. It is an excellent "home base" for those wanting to take day trips to places such as Milford Sound and the southern coast (Bluff, Curio Bay) and hike in the mountains nearby.
Just minutes outside of the town center but so peaceful with spectacular views of the lake and mountains
Polly and Russell were super friendly the studio had everything that we needed for a great stay
Thank you
My wife and I honeymooned in New Zealand and this was our favourite stay of the whole trip. The place is just very nice. It’s visually appealing, everything is good quality, it’s clean, spacious and the property you are on is absolutely stunning.We were greeted by Russell who was very pleasant and friendly. Really just treated us like we were friends. Very welcoming. Highly recommend staying here. Wish we could have been here for longer.
Superb. We’ll be back. Te Anau was an awesome wee town, beautiful in its own right but also and good commute to Milford Sound and Queenstown. The hosts at this property were lovely and it’s beautifully set up. We’ll be back!
This property was absolutely immaculate, had everything we needed, including all that was required for a delicious breakfast.
This was the first leg of our journey through South Island, if the remaining properties are any where near this good we will be extremely fortunate.
Thanks Polly and Russell for wonderful stay in this piece of paradise.
This lovely guesthouse is located close to town within a 10 minute drive to most restaurants. It is a short walk to the lakefront. The host was welcoming and stocked the kitchen with breakfast items such as toast, jam and yogurt. Please note that there is only one bed; I was expecting two based on the listing. This didn’t pose much of an issue for my friend and I, and the bed was very comfortable. The house itself was very clean, well-decorated and in a quiet neighborhood. We had a great stay!
This property is perfect! It has the most wonderful view, interior and host! Polly and Russell were so kind and gave me their seasick tablets for my boat trips as the pharmacy was closed. Luckily I didn’t need to use them.The interior had everything you need and was so comfortable and quiet. To wake up to their view of the mountains was breathtaking. Highly recommend! Thank you Polly.

Beautiful peaceful place
The room, kitchenette and bathroom were clean and beautifully finished and equipped. The location is gorgeous and peaceful. Lovely views. And at night it is dark enough to see the Milky Way. Breakfast was self catered - the owner provided 3 cereals, milk, butter, a bag of sliced bread and preserves in a dish ( uncovered) in the refrigerator. There was almost no communication with the owner. There are no screens on the windows and doors, so we couldn’t leave the windows open because of mosquitoes, black flies , etc. I recommend this property.
