We stayed at Te Anau gardens and loved it. Nicky was a warm and welcoming host, excellent communicator, the house was spotless, spacious, super comfy and the location was ideal. It’s right next to a park, just a 2 minute walk to the lake and to Te Anau’s main street with all the cafes and shops, yet it was quiet and private.
A tip for anyone going to Te Anau, we went in peak season early January, the town is very busy, and it is necessary to book restaurants ahead of time, ideally before you come to Te Anau, and definitely do the Milford Sound cruise, a highlight of our Southland tour (and book ahead for this too, especially if you want to go on the lovely Milford Haven).
Thanks Nicky!
