My wife and I enjoyed the location of Carolin and Jarrahs place. Not too far from Te Anau so easy to pop into town for coffee or supplies. Also to bike ride across the road to the lake area was amazing. We did encounter a couple of issues that did make the stay not as amazing as we hoped. Normally on arrival there is a black folder that has suggestions from the owners about the local areas and details of the house including remotes, bike lock details etc This was no where to be found on our arrival (we later found it on the last morning 2 days later underneath a bunch of boardgames). When we arrived quite late it had been raining for a few days, and the wood that had been left out for us inside was wet, and the available wood outside was quite damp. When we tried to start a fire we basically smoked the whole house out. There are a couple of small heaters available in the house, but this is a particularly cold house (obviously it is a cold area). So we had to take a drive to Te Anau on our first night to pick up dry fire wood, to start a fire. A bit frustrating. For future guests i would make sure dry wood is available, as you need this fire going as well as the heaters to warm up this place. Also all the TV, dvd system was unplugged at the wall, so i had to work out how to get this hooked up and working (no black folder). I think most of this was due to the cleaner who had not set the place up ready for us to hit the ground running. There were also no toiletries/soap in the shower, while most other airbnbs provide this. Again, not a complaint but good to be aware of this if you are a traveller without toiletries. A cute cottage overall in a pleasant area, but the experience just didn't tick all the boxes for us personally.
