John was a superb host - super quick, friendly responses & a wealth of knowledge of Te Ānau. The way he operates this accommodation is something I resonate with, so it felt really homely. Takahē Nest is super clean, cosy & has everything I needed for my 3 night stay. I was also reassured the cleanliness & protocols around Covid-19 were followed to ensure a safe stay. Definitely recommended to others & if I ever have the opportunity to come back to Te Ānau, I'll be sure to look up Takahē Nest again!
