This is an extraordinary property to book. Kim, our host is just wonderful. We were treated like values friends who came home after a long time away from home. Breakfast is absolutely stunning, we did not want to leave the table because we had such great conversations with other guest and Kim and staff. Would not stay anywhere else!!

This was a highlight of our trip! The property was very interesting and had a lovely setup - a true bed and breakfast. Our host was fantastic, and she provided what was easily the best B&B breakfast I’ve ever had. Our room was clean and felt cozy. I would gladly stay here again. Just an FYI this is a converted convent so there are some catholic symbols and pieces in some places to respect the history, but it’s not overly done in my opinion.

Te Anau is a stopover to Milford Sound for one night B&B. Lodge is a historic place used to be a nun’s convent. Place is well kept but do keep your noise level low and the floor board creaks. Township is less than 10min drive but not many dining options on Mondays.

A beautiful lodge with the most wonderful host
We truly enjoyed our stay at Te Anau Lodge primarily because the manager, Kim who is such a wonderful host. Upon our arrival, Kim great suggestions for us on good restaurants for lunch, activities in town like walking around lakes and scenery movies in Te Anau cinema. She reserved tables in RedCliff Cafe for lodge guests so we were able to had dinner at this famous local restaurant in the evening. In order for us to wonderful experience in Milford sound, she helped us to change our Milford sound cruise booking from afternoon to morning on so that we were able to enjoy peaceful scenery in Milford sound in the morning and hike several beautiful trails in the afternoon on the way back to Te Anau. Since we need to leave the lodge 6 am to catch 8:45 am cruise in Milford Sound, Kim packed breakfast for us the night before. She made us feel so welcome and so cared, we feel like we were staying a close friend’s house. We stayed in the Bishop Retreat the first night and Fiordland Carriage (train) the second night. We enjoyed both accommodations which provided us “back-to-history” experience. We also enjoyed delicious breakfast in the classic dinning room. The library in the lodge provides complimentary drinks and snacks and an opportunity to meet and chat with other guests. We highly recommend the lodge.

We stayed in a railway car (about 35 feet long) and had the whole car to ourselves. We loved it! It was perfect for our needs. We were able to store our food for meals on our own. The included breakfast was substantial. It was a buffet and also made to order. The hostess was very friendly and offered me a coat when she thought that I would be cold on a cruise on the sound. That's going well beyond the norm. Afternoon tea is also offered in a cosy room with a view of the property. PLEASE NOTE - the steps up are a steep and NOT the best for anyone with mobility issues. They have lots of other nice and suitable rooms if you don't want the steps up. We would go back in a flash if returning to the South island and highly recommend this property.
