Lakeview Living Te Anau

KarenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Sarah’s place! The house was modern, spacious ,and spotless. We had an easy time making dinner because everything we needed was provided. The neighbourhood was lovely—we took an evening walk to the lake, had a nice chat with one of the neighbours, and were greeted by another resident’s friendly dog! Highly recommended to stay at Sarah’s place if you’re visiting Te Anau with family or friends :)

Alpine Lodge

EmelyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
it´s a beautiful house, with lakeviews! It is within walking distance to town. The house is so big, much bigger than how you feel in the photos, and so well designed that when you light the fireplace, it heats up every room in the house. We didn´t feel cold once. The beds had heaters too, very nice. I strongly recommend.

NEW modern home - 250m from Lake Te Anau

DionRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Such a great layout. It was perfect for our family of 4 with private spaces for all of us. We also enjoyed the open layout of the kitchen, living room, & dining room. If the weather had been warmer, we would’ve used the lovely outdoor spaces as well. Well appointed pantry and comfy bedding. Thanks Tessa!

IhabRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had a great stay in Queenstown! The apartment was perfectly located—right by the lake and just a short walk to the town centre, which made everything super convenient. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making the whole experience easy and stress-free. The place was also very family-friendly, with thoughtful touches like a high chair, baby gate, and cot provided, which made a big difference for us. Highly recommend!

Atiru Apartment for 2 Guests

RasulRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing place to spend some time in Te Anau. Not too far from the town centre yet far enough to be disconnected and enjoy the peacedul and lovely surroundings. Pam has been a very lovely host and a kind person. She has been communicating since the day the booking was made and providing all information accurately to ensure a hassle free check in, a pleasant & homely stay. We woke up to a magnificent lake and mountain view both the days we stayed at the Atiru apartments. Location of the property is great for star gazing as well. Kitchen was well equipped with all necessary utensils, while the pantry and fridge was stocked with sufficient items for our tea, coffee and breakfast needs. Pam's place was spotless clean and the heaters kept us warm in the cold nights. Highly recommend the Atiru apartments and look forward to staying again during our next visit to Te Anau.

Private Cottage with Spa & Amazing Lake Views

MiriamRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Jason and Scott are truly Great hosts. Their cottage is amazingly lovely, clean, with a wonderful view and complete amenities. All we need are readily and conveniently available. Instructions are clear, and the place is indeed very guest-friendly. We had a homey and very special experience. The SPA is also a great deal and the view is breathtaking. We will be back, and hopefully longer stay. Thanks to them for sharing their place; we, as a family, just made another priceless memory.

Fern Cottage

AlisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The cottage was the perfect spot for our short visit to Te Anua. It was very clean and free of clutter, well kept and maintained, and had good modern amenities. We were especially thankful for the towel heater and washer/dryer combo for the cold, wet days. The cottage is located only a short walk to the Main Street and lake. Adam provided us with lots of helpful information regarding the accommodation and area before our stay. I’d definitely recommend this cottage for your visit to Te Anua.

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I selected this house for its central location to visit Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo. Location was good for those days of exploring. Twizel is very small, though cute. I took advantage of what the house offers with full kitchen and enjoyed the outdoor bath to star gaze. The house is beautifully built and comfortable. Bed was super comfy, great shower and appreciated being able to do laundry.

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki

PriyaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Beautiful lakefront cottage with incredible views and a quiet and private location. This home is older but clean and well-maintained. There is no central heat or AC but the space heaters were effective. The host provided lots of information about activities. The house is located about 35-45 minutes to Mount Cook National Park and Lake Tekapo, 7 minutes from Lake Pukaki retreat (stargazing) and 15-20 minutes from Twizel with shopping and restaurants. The house was larger than expected with 4 twin and 1 larger (queen or king?) bed. Checkin was easy, kitchen was well-equipped and our stay was great.

Black's Hut - Lakefront Cottage

KathrynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
One of the most spectacular Airbnb's we have ever stayed at. The view is sensational and it is a lovely, peaceful setting. The Airbnb itself was modern, comfy and clean. It was well appointed with a full kitchen and well stocked supplies. Bedrooms were comfy and there were modern, clean bathrooms. Te Anau is a great place to stay as a base for trips to Milford or Doubtful Sound. Black's Hut is around a 30 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer if you take the very scenic route along the lake edge. There are no busses or taxis. All and all it was a fantastic stay and comes highly recommended.
