We can’t express just how much we enjoyed our stay at the Te Anau Lodge! It is by far the best B&B that we have stayed in. Kym’s hospitality was over the top! We hope that all the passion and kindness that you show to your guests, Kym, comes back to you in an abundance of blessings. We wish you continued success, good health, and much happiness! Thanks for a beautiful stay!

After months of planning and fine-tuning our NZ trip, we spent 4 delightful nights at Te Anau Lodge. Our good experience began long before our arrival; manager Kym took considerable time by email to help us book tours and arrange details ahead of time. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown around the utterly charming converted nunnery. Our room was very well appointed with en suite and terrific lake and mountain views out the windows on two sides. The bed was comfortable, breakfast service was exceptional and delicious, and there were small snacks, soda, beer and wine available throughout. Kym continued her outstanding hospitality by making dinner and spa reservations for us in Te Anau, storing our luggage during our Doubtful Sound overnight cruise (don’t miss this!) and her expert local advice about which hikes would best suit our preferences. Key Summit-Routeburn was perhaps the best hike of our lives, an hour’s drive from the lodge. From the moment we arrived until we left, Te Anau Lodge felt luxurious and comfortable, and the terrific service we received from Kym and her staff was exemplary. Highly recommend.…

A charming building with Nun themed rooms. Or cosy room was on the ground floor, and even though it was next to the kitchen it was not noisy. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The communal room on the first floor was charming, with books, board games, refreshments, and nice views. A special place.

So I could tell all the stories myself on this whole place but I'd really recommend to find this all out yourself when you decide on visiting Te Anau. In all honesty: look no further than what this place has to offer you. Host Kym was hilarious and very helpful. We were not staying in the *spoiler alert* old convent but in the old Mararoa Homestead across the garden. This HUGE place is sort of ab attraction by itself and we were loving it. Would have loved to stay longer but couldn't since our trip was pre-booked but nonetheless we will think back on this quirky place with fondness. Breakfast was in the convent, which is all in good order. Bicycles available to explore the town.

Very quirky but fun place to stay. Breakfast was enjoyable, the staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were a little on the smaller side, but with the space they had, I think they did a good job. Had good snacks in the common room with some games and puzzles to stay entertained. Fairly close to downtown Te Anau

We just loved the atmosphere in this unique, quirky lodge. This is a restored convent converted into a lodge and each room is individually named; we stayed in Mother Superior's Room. Others named The Bishops Retreat, The Vestry .......... Our luxe room was warmed by a radiator, underfloor heating in the bathroom and a heated towel rail. The bed was really comfortable and warm, and, with location away from the town, there was no exterior noise. Management and staff are really friendly and helpful and breakfast, served in The Chapel, was a treat; a great selection of fruits and cereals, together with a hot buffet. On the upper floor is the large guest library with complimentary tea/coffee, wine and beers, and delicious lodge treats. Doors open to the deck with lovely views to the mountains. Wander past reception in the evening and you just may discover a special treat of hand crafted chocolates too. We would happily return for another visit. Thanks Kym, Nick and the outstanding team. …

The lodge was quite unique as it had been a convent. Kim and Nick were most helpful in not only booking our stay but in answering questions as well as booking various day trips. We enjoyed the common living room with freshly baked treats. The lodge was close to the center of town which made it easy to get to restaurants.

What an absolutely delightful place to spend a night or two! We loved the character of this old convent, with all the gorgeous wood panelling and historical tidbits scattered around. The converted confessional is genius as a luggage lift, and the sitting room is a super cosy, comfortable spot to enjoy a glass of (complimentary) wine and meet your fellow guests. Host Kym is lovely and really helpful, with plenty of advice/info/recommendations of places to eat, visit or tramp. We especially appreciated her telling us about the local movie at the Black Dog Bar - a must see for visitors to the town.

We are so glad we discovered the Te Anau Lodge! It was the perfect spot to break up the drive back to Queenstown from the Milford Sound. Kym gave us a fabulous welcome when we arrived and kindly showed us the laundry guests have access to as well as a lovely gathering room where snacks and complimentary drinks are served (a much more personal experience than your standard hotel!). The property is an incredible conversion of a convent with lots of character - the confessional has been turned into a a dumb-waiter to bring up the luggage! After a delicious breakfast included in our fee to stay, we were refreshed for our drive back to Queenstown. Our stay at the Te Anau Lodge and dinner in town at the Redcliff Restaurant was truly a highlight of our trip!
