Truly a retreat only a tiny bit off the beaten path of Te Anau. It is only a five min peaceful walk to the lake front . So close that my coffee stayed hot as I walked to the lake. This place is immaculate , with crisp clean linens, comfortable beds, with well stocked gourmet utensils . Three of us stayed and acoustically very quiet. Geraldine was able to respond within a few min to our request. We highly recommend.
