Hui Hui House - Kiwiana Holiday Home - Gate way to Milford & Fiordland NP

The native garden and outdoor dinning area has a fire pit and BBQ. It creates a private sunny space to socialise with friends and family.
This cosy 3 bedroom house has a full kitchen and includes basic children and infant utilities.

Hui Hui means the gathering or the coming together of people so we have replaced TVs with board and yard games. Free Wifi is provided.

There is a self contained tiny house in the backyard which sometimes Myself our Alicia may stay to do garden maintenance etc. We will always give notice before your stay if we are stopping by but please let us know if you prefer 100% privacy. we are happy to accommodate your requests.

Disappointing
The house was in an excellent location but we felt there were some areas which require improvements in order to justify the cost and the information presented on Stayz. These included:* A squeeky toilet door, which was not only noisy, but difficult to open from the inside. *An oven which was out-of-order (we were not informed of this).* The microwave was placed on top of the fridge and was difficult to reach. It had not been cleaned after the previous occupant.* The kitchen sink was not clean and for the number of people staying, there was not enough cutlery, no handy towels, tissues, gladwrap etc. *A clothes horse which collapsed when clothes were put on it (there was no outside clothes-line).* The fact that therenwas no TV should have been advertised.We did enjoy our stay and we submit this in the hope that the owners will rectify these small issues in order for future guests to have a more comfortable stay at Hui Hui.

Great property
We loved Hui Hui House! It was a comfortably sized property for two adults and three teens. And it was convenient enough for the centre of Te Anau and the lake for our needs. We would hope to be able stay here if we were going to Te Anau again.

We had a great stay. They had toys for the kids, which my kids enjoyed. The only thing which maybe l missed in the listing when booking is that there is no air conditioning or fans in the home. We visited when it was extremely hot, so this

Lovely stay close to the beautiful Sounds
We enjoyed this stay so much. Very calm, peaceful, yet centric, well - equipped house. Mark was a great host, the communication was easy and quick. Very much recommended if you are around for Milford Sounds or Doubtful sounds.

Very relaxing stay, lovely and warm. Very well stocked with kitchen utensils etc. Hosts weren't on site during our stay but do think information should warn propective hirers that they live in a tiny home on the rental property site.
