If you chose to stay elsewhere during your visit to Te Anau, you made a colossal mistake. Ebel and Maxine are the most kind, comforting and accepting hosts we met during our trek. There are no deeper “salt of the earth” people in all of New Zealand. The room was immaculate, the breakfast was the absolute perfect start to the day and the conversation was exceptional. Quite simply...we did not want to leave. Thank you for providing a truly welcoming home and for teaching us about the local culture and history.
