Very convenient location and ample space
This property was an easy walk to Te Anua Town Center. Lots of space available in this home and so good to have a washer and dryer and a sturdy drying rack. Ample towels and bedding. The beds were a bit hard for our tastes and the sofa a bit lumpy and difficult to get up from. Adding a larger mirror in the bathroom would be helpful or even a full length one somewhere in the house would be nice. Nice safe, secure, quiet location with ample windows and good shades for light control.wo

Quiet well-equipped house
The house is in a nice quiet location but is close to the town. The house is well-equipped with most things that you need for a week; could do with a bit of updating and more crockery/cutlery but it met our needs. Comfortable beds and good shower. It was good to have BBQ, heatpump, outdoor seating, car port, dishwasher and washing line which not always available in other baches. We had a good week of weather in Te Anau and enjoyed our stay.

Very clean, spacious, basic Bach
Very clean, spacious, basic Bach; comfortable seating and beds; lounge heated quickly when cold and was also cooled by breeze when it’s hot. The outdoor space is great. And very convenient for town. We had a comfortable stay there.Just one thing: the local recycling/dump station on the Manipura road didn’t take rubbish although it said it did, so we had to dispose of our rubbish in a waste bin in the town.

Well appointed, clean and well located
Large property with lots of space for everyone to keep their distance in the middle of a long family trip! Good value and location compared to many other private rentals in Te Anau (the town does seem particularly pricey). Furnishings and kitchen outfit feel a little dated but do not detract from the overall comfort, and I think are quite representative of other accommodations in the area. Kitchen was well-appointed with lots of space, everything works and you can cook up a big meal if you wish. A good place to catch your breath for a couple of nights.

Comfortable little house, with a well fenced private section. Was a cold weekend and the house was lovely and warm, with a heat pump and fire available. Great location, across the road from the club, and a short walk into town. House had everything we needed.

Great Layout and Amenities, some updates needed
Owner thought of pretty much everything: kitchen was very well-equipped, laundry room included a clothes dryer and drying rack, which were much appreciated. The bathroom was well-appointed and plenty of towels were provided. Some of the furnishings and one of the queen-size beds need updates and the hallway floor was very creaky.

Great location, very old furnishings
The good news is you are a short walk to the town and lake. The bad news is the furnishings are decades old and desperately need updating. The house is clean and the bedding and towels appear new. It is in a quiet neighborhood so that’s a plus.
