We really enjoyed the beautiful place. It is super classy, clean, spacious and sense of good taste throughout. Everything you need is there. The location is also excellent, very easy and short walk to the lake, yet it is very quiet and private for peaceful time of rest and relaxation.

    MAGNIFICENT view from Barbara Hay Lodge but note that this lodge has no hot tub (we knew this). The view was definitely worth it. Animal feeding included - absolutely awesome. Kitchen facilities modern + effective. Washing liquid, dishwasher tabs + washing powder all provided. Fireplace lovely. Walking distance to shops, restaurant, the lake and Good Shepherd Church. I’ve rink nearby. Can stay a week.

    Fantastic cottage stay in Te Anau. Nice and charming interiors with a rustic look. Wooden interiors with all the facilities and amenities you need including a fully functional fireplace furnace! The hosts were very helpful and responsive even from afar to answer any queries.

    A lovely cottage with everything provided. The fireplace and the outdoor bath was a real bonus and made this a standout amongst the many accommodation options available. Good communications and easy access and another bonus of a delicious loaf of what looked (and tasted like) like homemade bread. Good job!

    The two bedroom cabin/lodge we stayed in was beautifully furnished, had a great layout and a good use of space plus we loved the interior styling. It had views over the lake, a cosy wood burner and was walking distance to town but felt more rural. The beds were very comfortable and everything we loved. The kitchen was well equipped. We really appreciated the tasty loaf of bread provided and the little Whittakers chocolates which was a lovely touch.

    Super clean and cozy lodge with two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. They have a shower, an indoor bathtub and even an outside private hot tub for stargazing at night. We tried the fire place which is quite straightforward and this gives a nice vibe of a cabin in the Forrest. They do have electric inverter so the fireplace is just a nice extra. Location wise , perfect! You can walk to the center of the town and only a Little over 1 km drive to the famous church of the good shepherd.
