Ideal location for a trip into the Doubtful Sound, just a 10 minute walk from Pearl Harbour - and with a great view over lake Manapouri. Robert organized the booking of the RealNZ trip for us, and Philippa made us a very early and most delicious breakfast with fresh berries, bacon and eggs in their lovely historic B&B. We had sunny weather, so we could even go for a refreshing swim in Lake Manapouri. The Church is a nice pub just around the corner and Te Anau, with more activities, shops and restaurants, is a 20 minute drive away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The accommodation was spotless and so incredibly comfortable that we ended up oversleeping by 2.5 hours — a testament to how relaxed we felt. Tracey, the host, truly went above and beyond with thoughtful little touches that made the place feel so homely. The variety provided was amazing — from an assortment of creams, shampoos, and conditioners in the bathroom to a delightful breakfast selection of cereals, teas, marmalades, and more. Every detail seemed carefully considered, and it made us feel so welcome. Although we didn’t use it, the grill available for guests is a fantastic option for sunny days. Unfortunately, we had cloudy weather, but it didn’t dampen our experience. Instead, we cozied up in the bedroom and watched Netflix on the smart TV, which allowed us to log into our own account. We can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone passing through Te Anau. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and hospitality — we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Te Anau Lakefront Backpacker offers a pleasant stay for budget-conscious travelers. The combination of its central location, affordable rates, and clean, comfortable rooms makes it an excellent choice for both short and long stays. While it may not offer luxury amenities, it excels in providing the essentials at a great price.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay enjoying the spaciousness of the bedroom, bathroom and living area of this property located in a quiet area of town, a nice 15 - 20 minute walk from most restaurants in Te Anau. Other pluses were the comfy bed and the wide selection of breakfast items provided. The luxurious spa was an added bonus for winding down our day. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The reception staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable with heater which was very nice during the cold and wet weather. The bathroom was small but very clean and neat especially with constant hot water for shower was a plus. The location is superb as is near the heart of the town and close to all eateries. We really enjoyed our stay at Tasman Holiday Parks @ Te Anua.

A beautiful feel good place to stay. From the moment we opened the door it was fabulous. So much to look at. Beautifully decorated and clean. The lolly room was as it said and a delight from the Eskimo lollies on the wall to the luxurious linen bedding. Breakfast was included as well as a little treat bag. The attention to detail is second to none. If staying in Invercargill this is a must. As is Transport World and the newest addition Toot Sweet. Thank you for a memorable stay We highly recommend.

Wonderful new fresh motels. Set up was superb and mirror and lighting in bathroom was the best I have ever found in a motel. Bed was extremely big and comfortable. Set back off the road it was extremely quiet.
