Excellent bach, basic but very well cared for. We arrived late on a cold wet night and found the house warm and welcoming, with the heat pump on for us and the fire laid, ready to light. Thank-you!Very handy to the main street, cafes and lakefront yet quiet. A great base.

Te Anau stay

Clean and tidy older style house that was perfect for our family visit to Te Anau. The house is located very close to the town centre and other central attractions and good base to explore Milford Sound and access to many trout fishing rivers.

Quiet well-equipped house

The house is in a nice quiet location but is close to the town. The house is well-equipped with most things that you need for a week; could do with a bit of updating and more crockery/cutlery but it met our needs. Comfortable beds and good shower. It was good to have BBQ, heatpump, outdoor seating, car port, dishwasher and washing line which not always available in other baches. We had a good week of weather in Te Anau and enjoyed our stay.
