Great location; great welcome, with freshly baked break, juice, loaf, with jam and butter along with milk - best ever! Very sad we couldn't stay there again tonight 11 April, as we were evacuated from our Milford Track walk.

We loved our short stay at the chalet - a very comfortable place in a beautiful part of the world. Helen is a fantastic host. We loved the animals and the walks, and the extras Helen provided (fresh bread, date loaf, milk, juice, etc) were very thoughtful.

Incredible property and location for those who love the outdoors! Helen is an outstanding host. We had a warm fire awaiting us in the fire insert when we arrived along with fresh baked bread, butter and juice. Helen also led my wife on a wonderful horse ride. We made fond memories! Thank you!

Wonderful stay in Te Anau
Helen was an amazing host, bringing us home made snacks during our visit and fresh bread and jam, milk and OJ created us on our arrival. The home was very comfortable with perfect location, close to entrance of Keppler Track and Fiordland. Highly recommended with beautiful views of nature and stars at night including the Southern Cross. Very Peaceful.

This was the best place we have ever taken the family to. The house was really nice and warm. The owner was so kind and helpful. Lots of animals for the kids to see and interact with. When we come back to this part of the country we will be coming back to this place without hesitation.

A great place to relax.
This was the ideal location for our stay as it was peaceful and picturesque and yet so close to everywhere we wanted to visit and experience. Helen was very helpful and friendly and was a great host. If you would rather look out over the mountains than stare at the next motel unit, this is your place!

Great place to stay
We had a great time in Te Anau. We've never had such a great host - Helen gave us great suggestions for activities, drove us to pick our car left at one end of a walk, lit the fire for us so it was cosy and warm when we got back from an outing, fresh bread.... Post COVID Te Anau is pretty quiet - even during school holidays. I strongly urge people to visit there - there's never been a better time to see our country. Definitely stay with Helen - just fantastic place. The cottage is cosy, and has spectacular views of mountains, it's a very short drive into town. We found heaps to do and could easily have enjoyed a few more days there.

Wonderful kid-friendly stay
Such a great place to stay with a little one. Plenty of space to play and our son loved feeding the sheep and riding the pony. Helen was lovely and the freshly baked bread every day was amazing. We will recommend to any friends who are staying in the area. Location was excellent, a short drive into town. Beautiful views.

Beautiful relaxing stay with warm hospitality.
We loved our stay so much especially our 18 month old daughter who adored all the animals. The extra touches of freshly baked bread and having the fire lit for you when you returned in the evenings were so thoughtful. The chalet is very homely and it was good to be able to prepare simple meals instead of eating out every day. Thank you Helen, David and family.

Kids like the pony ride much, and Bolt is a beautiful n friendly dog, waiting early and quietly in the morning for us, to play with him. I’m extremely excited to see the “Milky Way “ first time . Unforgettable!
