A Lake Front Retreat

JohnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Perfect place to stay and explore the Fiordlands! Beautiful home with expansive view of Lake Te Anau and easy walk to restaurants, shops, etc. Truly memorable experience and we are all looking forward to returning. The fireplaces were a huge bonus - it was great to wake up and have a coffee while sitting next to them. Also, we very much appreciated the welcoming groceries - what a wonderful touch. I would rank this at the very top of any airBnB I’ve ever stayed at.

Great house, Great location, Great Views.

SteveRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Beautiful home that is both spacious and perfectly situated as a bascamp for all the nearby attractions (e.g., Milford Sound and many miles of gorgeous hiking). The beds were incredibly comfortable and we loved having the cozy fireplace in the living room. Leana was a fantastic host, even practively suggesting the restaurants to reserve for the nights of our stay (and she was right since other guests were turned away). Awesome home, fantastic host, lovely memories ... we can't wait till we visit again.

Villa on the Lake - spectacular lake views

ThereseRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was just like the pictures—cozy, clean, and super comfortable. The instructions were clear and helpful, especially the tips for walks. We loved playing board games in the evenings—it felt just like home. Beds were comfy, and it was the perfect little getaway. Would definitely come back!

Joanne’s place was the perfect spot for our stay- centrally located to city center and 7 minutes to beach. It was super clean and well appointed and Joanne was very responsive to anything we needed. Highly recommend!

Great House Close to Everything

TollyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Excellent location close to town, easy walking distance to everything. We loved having a fire to warm ourselves after tramping for several days. Beautiful garden, spacious and relaxing kitchen/dining/lounge. Top notch AirBnB.

Beautiful views, style and comfort

CrystalRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Stayed here for a week and it was perfect. Amazing views all day long with a feeder to watch the local Tui drink. The kitchen is nice and big. Plenty of heaters to keep you cozy. Diary and beach very close to have a stroll and pick up some treats. Beds are very comfortable. Overall just a great stay, I can't think of any negatives.

The view!!! Oh my goodness, 2 large windows in the lounge/dining looking out to the ocean and big sky...it was mesmerising! This was a highlight and added to the whole relaxing experience. Large house with heaps of space. And quiet?...so peaceful you don't even hear cars passing. Thank you Penny for the lovely stay. I hope I have the opportunity again sometime. 😊

Spacious Beach Retreat - Catlins

JanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is an older home with the quirky features of one, but most importantly it was CLEAN! The linens clean and fresh, kitchen and the rest of the home as well. Lots of room to spread out, lots of wood to keep us warm, many games, books and magazines. The puzzle coffee table was great and the evening found the family gathered around it. Location was good view o and close to the water. Highly recommend.
