Susan's place was a comfortable stay for my extended whanau (total of 6 with my parents, partner, and tamariki). We have two small children and could easily have walked down to the launch point for Doubtful Sound cruises from Susan's home. There's also a petrol station and charming café just around the corner. We didn't spend much time in the home itself outside of meal time and slowing down for the evenings, but the kitchen had what we needed. Susan's place is easy to recommend for anyone interested in the Doubtful Sound cruises or Te Anau glow worm cave tours (departing from Te Anau, ~20 mins North)
