Perfect fit for our travels
Perfect apartment-like hotel room for staying in Te Anu with laundry and nice outdoor area. Also: hotel service was amazing in helping return items that had been left behind when I contacted them. Would stay here again!

A great accommodation option for Te Anau. It is a quick walk to town and on a quiet road/area. Check-in was easy with a warm welcome. Affordable and very comfortable, which was perfect for our overnight stay before heading to Milford Sound.
