The Clearwater Cottage - Te Anau Holiday Home
Bright and charming with WiFi - just what you need this trip. Welcome to The Clearwater Cottage.
This neat little cottage, located only 10-minutes from the main street, is filled with pops of colour, light and airy spaces and decorated with an eye for relaxation and comfort. Wake up each morning and make a plan for the day with your family or group.
Equipped with everything you might need, no matter the time of year. In summer, the sundeck and BBQ are ready to host classic kiwi dinners fresh of the grill. Then come winter, you and family will be able to keep toasty warm in front of the fireplace.
With 3 bedrooms sleeping up to 6 guests and your choice of two separate lounges, you won't be short on space. Each lounge is fitted with a TV and bifold doors out onto their own decks, you and the kids will love having your own space to chill out at the end of a busy day exploring this stunning part of New Zealand.
Considered to be "The Gateway to Fiordland", Te Anau is surrounded by stunning wilderness regions and wildlife. Head to the lakeside, or up to one of the three great walks, Milford, Routeburn and Kepler tracks. If you're keen for an adventure, head over to the Milford Sound, unofficially the eighth wonder of the world. The sights and experiences here are truly magical.
Be ready to immerse yourself with all the natural beauty this place has to offer - The Clearwater Cottage awaits! Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Nice property, well presented, lovely spaces. Clean and today. Kids loved all the toys. Mattress on the bunk bed needs replacing as bottom is disintegrating and falling onto bed below.

Te Anau was a cute little town. Enjoyed the downtown area for dinner. This house served as a great location for us to stay for spending 2 days in Milford Sound with our 2 kids and inlaws. Lawn and bushes needed upkeep. This made us a little worried when we pulled in. But the inside was spacious and comfortable.
