Lorimers Retreat was a great place to stay in Te Anau for my wife and I. One block walk to the lake shore and 5 blocks to the restaurants and shops. Adam was very helpful with suggestions for enjoying the area, and checked regularly that to be sure we didn't have any problems. Te Anau is not only the best spot to stay for visiting Doubtful and Milford Sounds, it is a very pleasant place to have a relaxing vacation with beautiful scenery and lots to do outside.
