Jo's place is ideally situated for those who don't want to stay in the much busier town of Te Anau, although the latter is a mere 20 minute drive away. For those going on the Doubtful Sound trip the departure area for that is mere minutes away. Several lovely walks in the immediate area and many others in Te Anau so we were spoilt for choice. The cottage is beautifully situated looking straight out to the mountains in a very quiet setting. Nearly everything one could possibly need is laid on. However, it should be noted that although there is a stove top there is no oven (but microwave did more than simple microwaving). Jo was a delightful host, met us on our arrival and was very helpful with advice. The cottage was comfortable and warm, even an electric blanket on the bed if needed! Would very much recommend a stay here.
