We had a great time at Chris's house in Te Anau. Lovely setting with views to the mountains and lake. The house is very modern, clean and all amenities are available . Great for 2 couples as the bedrooms are at separate ends of the house.
Approx 2 hour drive to Milford Sound, and Te Anau is a nice little place to wander around.
A lovely place to stay and relax and will recommend it to all travellers.
