"I stayed in one of the cabins for two nights in October 2026. It was lovely and clean, and quiet. I had everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Mike who I met on arrival. It’s is within walking distance to the shopping area and the lakefront. I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so myself."

"This was one of our favorite stays in New Zealand. The lake view is so beautiful and the grounds were absolutely stunning in March with cherry trees blooming. We appreciated how close we were to the town center and enjoyed eating at the Ranch and watching the movie at the Black Dog. We had an overnight cruise planned to Doubtful Sound so at the staff's suggestion we drove to Milford sound to take in the views. That was a remarkable day that we would have missed out on otherwise. We were able to wash our clothes at their laundry facility for free and drying was a nominal charge. We had a very restful stay and highly recommend this location for your visit to Te Anau."
