I am sure it depends on which room you get assigned but my room was extremely quiet and newly renovated. Breakfast was surprisingly wonderful with good variety of food and drinks. Room itself was very clean and comfortable with nice fluffy towels. Location was quite central yet not noisy.

Everything is perfect. Stuffs are nice. I arrived later than planned and lady in reception organised my late check-in. The room is enormous large than I imagine, clean and in good condition, living room is cosy with sofa, kitchen is well equipped with pans, knives and scissors, bedroom is big and the bed is comfortable. Bathroom is also large with bathtub, toilette is separed. I am lucky to have a room face to the lovely backyard garden, very relaxing.

We love coming here, though perhaps not during the height of the summer holiday season. We have been to Te Anau many, many times (including during the closed borders, which we loved, to be honest...). Te Anau is one of those small towns that predominantly caters for tourists. But there are two types of tourists: those who take the well-known trips to Milford and/or Doubtful Sound, whether guided or unguided, and, of course, the many hikers. Fiordland, as a rule, offers some of the best hiking in the country, and the town definitely caters to both groups. Unlike Queenstown, however, Te Anau does have an "off season" as most of the overnight hikes (Milford, Routeburn in particular) are closed during the winter months, and the Milford Road might also be closed periodically during snow events. That would be our preferred time to visit—fewer People. Also, Te Anau recently hosted the famous South Sea Spray festival. As Southlanders ourselves, we are familiar with this and travelled there especially to see all the fantastic new murals. It is a nice distraction to "hunt" for them.

Invercargill is one of those places people like to think that they wouldn't miss anything if they didn't go, but I'd offer a different view. I've made more than 30 trips to New Zealand in my lifetime so far, both North and South islands. This was my first time in Invercargill. First, if you're a foodie, you have got to come here. Restaurants abound, you will find everything here from traditional to fusion, and boy is it good! I had some of the best Thai food here I've ever encountered. Second, if you're an avid motorcyclist like me, you must go and see Burt Munroe's machine at E Hayes & Sons Hardware store, then, check out Motorcycle Mecca and the Cafe' there. It's every bikers dream to have a garage like this. Third, take a day trip out to Bluff and take in the view (not much else is going on there unfortunately), but after that take the long road through the Catlins Coast rain forrest from there up to Dunedin, and you'll find some unique places and views along the way that you'll take with you forever.

Beautiful spot, excellent walks & good meals at The Church. Come prepared for cold weather and rain and bring your own supplies from Te Anau. The Doubtful Sound cruise is, of course, not to be missed.

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 😉

Yummy meals in the local pub bistro, great beach down the road and a well stocked superette ( small supermarket) Funny and slightly rude t shirts and other souvenirs on sale worth a sausage theme!

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.

Quiet little town between Queenstown and Milford Sound.

Quiet little town between Queenstown and Milford Sound. Room rates are very reasonable; and the attached resturant was very good. The lamb shank was excellent! Fun place to hang with the friendly locals. It is a good 3 hour drive to Milford Sound from here (not the 2:15 the GPS will say) so you need to leave extra time if you have a boat tour scheduled. Mossburn is a good place to gas up your car before leaving for Milford Sound or Queenstown. Our room had a large attached bathroom, and the shower had great water pressure. Secure parking located behind the building gave easy access to the rooms. Don't be afraid to go to Milford Sound if it's raining; the waterfalls are even more spectacular!
