If you've ever been curious about living in a tiny house, or you just want stunning waterfront views of Lake Te Anau and the surrounding mountains, this is your place (as long as you're OK climbing a ladder and have a decent sense of balance for the open stairs). The house is cosy and comfortable, with a surprisingly big bathroom, a workable kitchen, and super fun sleeping and lounging lofts. There are views in all directions, and the lakeside walking/running trail is right out front.
The management company that runs the place doesn't seem to be paying attention to details. There was dirt/dust in the corners of the floors where the vacuum doesn't reach and in some of the storage cubbies. The window shade over the front door fell off when we tried to roll it down; the brackets were loose, so it wouldn't stay back up. We wrote to Bachcare but didn't hear back until after our stay ended. Also, the salt shaker and hand soap bottle were almost empty. Need to pay more care about details.
