Te Anau is a wonderful village and within a few minutes North is the hillside location of Atiru Apartment, a quiet, peaceful and very beautiful location overlooking the lake and mountains.
From here we launched three great trips, one to Doubtful Sound which should not be missed. The second to Milford Sound where we caught the bus from Te Anau so we could enjoy the scenic route and the third, a must do serene lake trip aboard the vintage vessel, the Faith.
Our one-bedroom lodge on the side of our host’s home has two large sliding doors onto to a patio where you can relax and enjoy the amazing view. There is full kitchen with everything you need to prepare delicious meals. The King bed with luxury linen and pillows was extremely comfortable and the place is immaculately clean.
We only have excellent things we can say about Atiru, especially our host, Pam who is the nicest, sweetest person you ever want to meet! She is always there to assist if you have any questions and is very respectful of your privacy.
Our 5 days here were regretfully soon over as there is so much to do around Te Anau.
To omit Atiru Apartment would be missing out on a great experience!
