My husband and friends stayed at this B & B for only one night-much too short! George, the host, and his staff do a wonderful job. The lodge itself is so lovely and interesting, being a convent in a previous life. It is set on a lovely property that is so well maintained. You will feel so at home when... More

We only stayed one night on our self-drive holiday in New Zealand. We stayed in Te Anau having left Queenstown and wanting accommodation handy to Manipouri where we were taking a Doubtful Sound cruise. Te Anau is a charming small town with a number of interesting restaurants and Te Anau Lodge is equally charming and interesting. It is situated just... More

We spent 2 nights in the upstairs deluxe room and although expensive, it was worth every penny! The room was spacious and beautifully decorated but it was the views of the lake that really wowed us. Our two hosts were so helpful and made us feel very welcome - they were more than happy to assist with washing and direction... More

This was a great B&B in Te Anau and the host - George - was incredibly welcoming during our short stay. We stayed in the Cathedral room which had wonderful views across the lake. I can't find fault with the rooms, the location, the lodge itself or the service, but the price is on the high side...compared to similar quality... More

We found Te Anau Lodge using a mobile phone app and made the call from Dunedin. Even on the phone I knew this place was different - George the owner was so friendly and welcoming. We actually traveled to Te Anau 6 hours early since we had such lovely accommodation. On arrival we were greeted by George and shown around... More

Te Anau Lodge was a delightful place to stay! The snow and rain did not hamper a wonderful few days. We did not get to Milford Sound but we discovered the wonders of Doubtful sound. George was a most hospitable host - not only is he a good cook, a reliable guide and a great taxi driver but also an... More

The Te Anau Lodge is a lovely spot from which to base your stay in the southern part of the South Island, New Zealand. The hotel is well-situated close to to Lake Te Anau, from which you can easily get to Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound. The hotel is very quiet with spacious grounds. It was originally a monastery built... More

It's been one of ther best B&B of our trip. Both George and Margaret are really noce and make your stay really easy and confortable. Really close to town centre, but at the same time really quite and full of peace. The best choice in Te Anau!

I only stayed one night. Clean, charming accommodation. George was a very kind, friendly host with lots of helpful tips about touring Fiordland. You pretty much need a car to get to the lake/downtown. From what I saw of the other hotels in town, Te Anau Lodge is one of the best places to stay in the area.
