A very peaceful retreat outside of Te Anau, surrounded by bird song and a lovely grove of trees. Claire’s place is a great place if you want to unplug (truly, since there’s no wifi), and enjoy the serenity of the South Island bush. We spent two nights here on our way to Milford Sound and could have spent much longer if our itinerary allowed.
The cabin is very spacious and well appointed with everything you might need including a lovely little kitchen area with a cupboard stocked with breakfast cereal and bread for toast in the morning.
And the stars at night! Granted, if you’re in Otago or the Southlands and this point, you’ve likely already encountered the night sky blanketed with stars but for we city folk it was always a sight to behold.
