Mike and Pam were absolutely brilliant hosts: knowledgeable, attentive (without being intrusive). They gave us the feeling that nothing was too much trouble and were helpful, friendly and wonderful from start to finish. The hotel is right next to the Ferry Terminal (literally across the road if you’re going to Stewart Island, Rakiura), there’s a little Four Square Supermarket a couple of doors down for all the essentials and some great choices for dinner if you’re around in the evening. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Linen was immaculate and excellent quality and the hotel has some brilliant original Art Deco features and character, plus a bar and lounge to relax after an days adventuring!

unbelievable location right at the tip of Lands end. the view from our window with the sunrise was spectacular. great view for breakfast too. standards of cleanliness and comfort were exceptional.

One of the best stays of our two week drive around on the South Island. Room was great and staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. In room breakfast was great and delivered hot and right on time. Would recommend to anyone as a great place to stay. Buster Crabs restaurant was right across the street which made for a great addition to the stay.

Great little town with great food.

Great little town with great food. Lots of scenic opportunities to enjoy, walks for the adventurous and for those who want a stroll. My elderly parents loved the Lower Kepler walk - we just did 40min in, turned and 40min out each spare day. This is also very sheltered in the wind or rain, so is a good wet day option. Remember to walk around the Little Lake Te Anau in the village park, then you can tell your friends you walked around the whole lake! Miles Pies or Fish & Chips by the lake!

Tranquil town away from the touristy hubbub of Te Anau but within range to catch the tour to Milford Sound. The Church restaurant served excellent meals at a reasonable price. Probably best suited to tours to Doubtful Sounds, but we did not mind the 20 minute drive to Te Anau.

You don't need to spend money on tours if you don't have it (I never do), as there are plenty of beautiful walks to discover for yourself. Ulva Island is a must, though!!! The bird life is amazing, and even though at home we have plenty of kereru, piwakawaka, bellbirds, the song and sight of these guys over there is next level. Kereru, walking or sitting on the ground, is not seen in cities. Do take sandfly spray as these wee guys are also very friendly 😉

This is a warm, well-appointed and charming but unpretentious accommodation that suited our needs as 'passing-through" visitors. It was ideally placed in our swing through Southland and Central Otago to catch up with friends in various locations over this region. I should add that we booked here because we had few other options brought about by changes in itinerary that meant we were searching for somewhere suitable with only a day's advance notice! All in all, we were very happy with our choice. We cooked our own meals on perfectly adequate facilities.
