Enjoyed our stay in Te Anau, comfortable warm home with everything we needed and handy to shops.
The home is basic but clean and was great for our group of 5 people. Just one block to the main shopping/restaurant area and 2-3 blocks to the lake. Would recommend if you are spending time in Milford Sound and aren't high maintenance.
Perfect location to walk into town, just a few blocks. House has a nice heater and shower.
Loved our bed. Safe quiet location with a mountain view.

This small, comfortable house was just what we need for our two days in the TeAnau-Milford Sound area. It is convenient to everything, comfortable, and quiet. A real find in an area in high demand during the summer.

Good sized property. Was very clean and had a wel equipped kitchen. Some of the interior is looking a little dated and tired and would benefit from an uplift. Otherwise very please
A great time in Te Anau! In a quiet suburb within 5 minutes walking distance of Te Anau proper; restaurants, shops, the lake, the Real NZ visitor center and other activity providers. Small but clean with comfortable beds and a good heating unit (bathroom too) and fireplace, great for our 5 adult group in early spring. Kitchen got the job done the couple of dinners and breakfasts we cooked. Thanks for having us!
Neat & tidy cottage, very clean, easy to heat. Central to Te Anau's main shopping area & easy walk to the lake front. Older house but more than adequate for our enjoyable stay over the weekend. Very well equipped. Would very happily stay here again.Glenys
Property was perfect. Evrrything we needed was there. The beds were comfy and warm. The heat pump did a great job. We didnt light the fire. The house is so close to all amenities
52 Matai St was everything we needed for our short stay in Te Anau. Warm and inviting right in the heart of town. A short and easy walk to the town centre and the lake.Will definitely be back when we can!!!
Loved this cosy cottage with comfy beds, a lovely view and a generously stocked pantry (which a lot of places overlook). Great communication with our host - we'd definitely day again.
Leigh’s property was fantastic. The house was warm and had everything we needed - and more! The bed was so comfy my partner and I wanted to take it home! Location was great too. Honestly, couldn’t rave about this place enough.
Good place to stay. We stayed a couple of nights. Easily walkable into town. Appreciated the washing machine. Only suggestion; it would have been nice to have some outside chairs to sit on.
Was lovely being able to walk into and around town. Perfect spot to stay to access Milford track and Kepler track.

Improvement Required!
I am surprised that this property has collected so many 10/10s! It's a bit tatty around the edges, and needs some serious repair work and modernisation. Lots of potential improvements required - a shortage of cooking equipment, a distinct damp smell and not even a table in the unkept back garden. You got the impression that a permanent resident left the property ten minutes before we arrived, and would probably return immediately after we left. A great location for the Milford Sound trip - but no other reason for returning..
This was a great location- walking distance to all the stores and restaurants and about a 2 hr drive to Milford sound. It was peaceful and clean and my whole family enjoyed our stay here.
Great location, it was within walking distance to everything: Grocery store and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Also, within walking distance to RealNZ’s departure point for the Glowworm Cave, Milford & Doubtful Sound adventures. Also, if you have a rent car the drive to Milford Sound is worth the trip and if you’re adventuresome then hike to the waterfalls at the Humboldt Falls.Aside from the great location, there were 3 bedrooms so plenty of room and the kitchen was nicely appointed with everything that you’ll need for your adventures.
