Silver Birch Cottage was a great base for our two night stay in Te Anau. The location was perfect: an easy walk of just a couple of blocks to the town center, along the lake if you wish. The "cottage" is huge! Fully equipped and very comfortable. View of the mountains from the deck. Only nit to pick is that there is no mirror over the bathroom sink (it is on a wall to the side), so shaving was not possible (for me, anyway, as I have to shave around my beard). Obviously, this is not a big deal, but you might want to know.
