We loved staying at Leanne and Richard’s place. It was in a beautiful rural setting, with a fantastic garden and close access to both Te Anau and Manapouri. Waking up to the sounds of the birds and bleating sheep (including Clara the Lamb) was truly peaceful.
The breakfast was delicious with bacon, toast and fresh eggs from their hens. We enjoyed visiting with Richard and some of his friends as well as the two new farm worker guests that arrived during our stay.
Their home was an a great jumping off start for getting up to Milford Sound for our 1:30 boat ride. Give yourself a minimum of half and hour more than the GPS estimated drive time: there is a one-way-at-a-time tunnel you have to stop and wait at (it’s on a timer) and plus it’s beautiful and you may want to stop for photos.
Would highly recommend Richard and Leanne’s!
