Everything! Mary-Anne, our host, was very welcoming. The property was newly built, spotless and comfortable. It was very easy to get to with only a short walk to town and the lakeside. The kitchen was well-equipped and supplied with some pantry and fridge necessities. Mary-Anne even turned on the heat pump and electric blankets for us knowing we would be arriving late at night. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Everything in the accommodation felt brand new and spotless. Huge credit to Odette and Sam for managing the property so well — they are truly outstanding hosts. From check-in to check-out, they were incredibly helpful and attentive. When we were snowed in, Sam went above and beyond by clearing the path from the accommodation (literally from the sliding door) to the road and even shoveling around our car so we could drive out safely. Truly legends!!! 🙏🙌

Daryl was very accommodating and his response to all my query was very fast! The guide that was provided during the stay was extremely helpful. The location and house is superb! Would totally recommend those with family to book this place. Heated floors during winter is amazing. Even if you were to book this place during summer, fans and aircon are provided. House is totally clean and basic necessities are provided, such as rice cooker (Win!). Beds are comfortable and location is a short 5 mins walk to the supermarket m, restaurant and play area for kids.

All of it was satisfied, nice view from the living room, cozy space and comfortable bed. If the kitchen tools can improve to get fully set and change it new one is better, seems it's looked a dated, cleaning stuff better check the cooking sauce or oil when customer check out, coz some of the sauce expired on 2012.. Other of these, all in good star.

MAGNIFICENT view from Barbara Hay Lodge but note that this lodge has no hot tub (we knew this). The view was definitely worth it. Animal feeding included - absolutely awesome. Kitchen facilities modern + effective. Washing liquid, dishwasher tabs + washing powder all provided. Fireplace lovely. Walking distance to shops, restaurant, the lake and Good Shepherd Church. I’ve rink nearby. Can stay a week.

Fantastic cottage stay in Te Anau. Nice and charming interiors with a rustic look. Wooden interiors with all the facilities and amenities you need including a fully functional fireplace furnace! The hosts were very helpful and responsive even from afar to answer any queries.

A lovely cottage with everything provided. The fireplace and the outdoor bath was a real bonus and made this a standout amongst the many accommodation options available. Good communications and easy access and another bonus of a delicious loaf of what looked (and tasted like) like homemade bread. Good job!

The two bedroom cabin/lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished, had a great layout and a good use of space plus we loved the interior styling. It had views over the lake, a cosy wood burner and was walking distance to town but felt more rural. The beds were very comfortable and everything we loved. The kitchen was well equipped. We really appreciated the tasty loaf of bread provided and the little Whittakers chocolates which was a lovely touch.

Super clean and cozy lodge with two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. They have a shower, an indoor bathtub and even an outside private hot tub for stargazing at night. We tried the fire place which is quite straightforward and this gives a nice vibe of a cabin in the Forrest. They do have electric inverter so the fireplace is just a nice extra. Location wise , perfect! You can walk to the center of the town and only a Little over 1 km drive to the famous church of the good shepherd.

Great little cottage. This was our second stay. We had a poorly child so didn't get to use the hot tub this time or do much adventuring but it was still cozy and nice
