5. Te Anau Lodge

Te Anau

"Unique and quirky property in Te Anau, we loved having the use of the Homestead and the amenities in the main lodge too. The homestead is brilliantly equipped and we had everything we needed and more, and lots of space. Kym was unbelievably helpful too in our stay and went above and beyond to help us organise a last minute trip to Milford Sound when our original booking was cancelled due to the weather - very much appreciated!"
