We found Bernie’s place to be a cosy, clean and cheerful space. The house was easy to locate and a short distance from the city center, with amenities within easy reach (5-10 min walk of a 2 min drive from Fresh Choice supermarket and a number of eateries). Bernie gave us clear instructions on the check-in process, and was responsive to our queries. The apartment runs on a strict energy-efficient / environmentally-friendly policy, which we were supportive of, even if we found it to be a little chilly in the night. A point to note is that (1) the shared toilet and (2) the bathroom (with a sink and standing shower) are in two separate rooms next to each other, a design that not everyone in the group was used to, though this is a relatively minor issue overall. We enjoyed our stay, and would recommend the apartment to visitors to Te Anau.
