Donna and Mike are wonderful hosts - they were around to answer all of our questions and they provided an exceptionally useful map of the road to Milford Sound, along with helpful tips and recommendations. The location is a perfect starting point for the journey to Milford Sound - without stopping its ~2hours. We left early (8am) and took our time to stop and take pictures and hike/tramp along the way and got into Milford Sound in time for an afternoon cruise of the fiord. We loved having access to a kitchen and laundry. Donna and Mike have provided heated blankets as it was chilly at night. They had everything we needed and I highly recommend staying in Te Anau with them!
