Te Anau stay
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.

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..

Walking distance to everything
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.

3 BR house close to City Center
Cozy older home. Heavy scent upon entering...air freshener plug in. 3 BR (twin, queen, king), kitchen/DR and Living space open concept. Separate toilet and small shower. Had some difficulty regulating inside temp. Would be nice to have mirror in everyroom near outlet. Would be better if had bedside lamps and more outlets available for plugging in electronics in everyroom (or extension cords). Generous condiments in fridge and cupboards if you're cooking . Nice backyard for relaxing. Close to City Center.

House was in a nice area that had great mountain views and walkable to the lake. Size was ok for the 4 of us but bedrooms and bathrooms were cold due to the one heater in the living room. The bathrooms also smelled a bit like mold. In general, house was fairly dated. Kitchen was well stocked but lacked sufficient pots for cooking. Overall the house met our needs.

Perfectly located, all that you need
Three good sized bedrooms, we only used 2 but can say they both had comfortable beds.
Heat pump in the lounge area.
Kitchen suitable for simple cooking.
We felt the only way to improve it would be have some outdoor seating to enjoy the backyard space. Thanks Leigh, if we are back in Te Anau we will be back for sure.
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.
