Great home and location
52 Matai St was everything we needed for our short stay in Te Anau. Warm and inviting right in the heart of town. A short and easy walk to the town centre and the lake.Will definitely be back when we can!!!

Loved this cosy cottage with comfy beds, a lovely view and a generously stocked pantry (which a lot of places overlook). Great communication with our host - we'd definitely day again.

Great location!
The home is basic but clean and was great for our group of 5 people. Just one block to the main shopping/restaurant area and 2-3 blocks to the lake. Would recommend if you are spending time in Milford Sound and aren't high maintenance.

Great place to stay for our trip to Milford Sound. Walking distance to the lake front and shops. The view from the bedroom in the morning was a treat.
Enjoyed our stay in Te Anau, comfortable warm home with everything we needed and handy to shops.

Te Anau stay
Good place to stay. We stayed a couple of nights. Easily walkable into town. Appreciated the washing machine. Only suggestion; it would have been nice to have some outside chairs to sit on.

Lovely place to stay
Was lovely being able to walk into and around town. Perfect spot to stay to access Milford track and Kepler track.
Good sized property. Was very clean and had a wel equipped kitchen. Some of the interior is looking a little dated and tired and would benefit from an uplift. Otherwise very please

Improvement Required!
I am surprised that this property has collected so many 10/10s! It's a bit tatty around the edges, and needs some serious repair work and modernisation. Lots of potential improvements required - a shortage of cooking equipment, a distinct damp smell and not even a table in the unkept back garden. You got the impression that a permanent resident left the property ten minutes before we arrived, and would probably return immediately after we left. A great location for the Milford Sound trip - but no other reason for returning..

Walking distance to everything
Great location, it was within walking distance to everything: Grocery store and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Also, within walking distance to RealNZ’s departure point for the Glowworm Cave, Milford & Doubtful Sound adventures. Also, if you have a rent car the drive to Milford Sound is worth the trip and if you’re adventuresome then hike to the waterfalls at the Humboldt Falls.Aside from the great location, there were 3 bedrooms so plenty of room and the kitchen was nicely appointed with everything that you’ll need for your adventures.

3 BR house close to City Center
Cozy older home. Heavy scent upon entering...air freshener plug in. 3 BR (twin, queen, king), kitchen/DR and Living space open concept. Separate toilet and small shower. Had some difficulty regulating inside temp. Would be nice to have mirror in everyroom near outlet. Would be better if had bedside lamps and more outlets available for plugging in electronics in everyroom (or extension cords). Generous condiments in fridge and cupboards if you're cooking . Nice backyard for relaxing. Close to City Center.
