Beautiful location with amazing views of the lake. A simple breakfast, but the view while eating made it feel elegant. Phil was very helpful with our planning and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. This was a great location for those heading to Milford Sound. We would definitely stay there again. He had lots of brochures and maps to help you find your way.

The only suggestion I would make would be to add a little more decoration to the bedrooms to make them stand out a little more. Perhaps a picture above the bed. The rest of the spaces were decorated well, and the room had everything we needed and was clean, so it didn’t affect our stay in any way - just something we noticed.

Host Tim was incredibly warm and welcoming, even staying up until 10pm to welcome us after we got held up in Milford Sound. The facilities were lovely and clean and the lake views were gorgeous. We felt wonderfully attended to in the morning with the breakfast provided- yoghurt, fruits, toast with butter and jam, coffee, tea, you name it. Couldn't recommend this b&b more highly.

It was just a tad remote- we ended up eating dinner at milford sound lodge, which was a good call because this was about a 10min drive outside of Te Anau proper.

Stunning views, continually changing with the weather. Loads of photos taken of the same view, and all very different. A large place which is very clean & cozy. The bedrooms are very spacious with their own ensuite - nice touch with the goodies in your room. A nice breakfast, and plenty of it. Phil is very friendly hospitable, informative and helpful with lots of hints.

Phil was a great host and we had a wonderful time. His house offers spectacular lake and mountains views and this is the house if you are looking for a quite stay with uninterrupted views. Very comfortable bed with super fast wifi. Thank you so much Phil for the ride on your baby Thunderbird and find my missing glasses. I will definitely come back with my family next time and stay longer in his house to explore more!

This property had everything. great room and bathroom. Location is out of this world and the views are breathtaking. our host, Phil Smith, could not have done enough. He was so helpful in recommending trips and the best places to see. Will definitely go back there in the not too distant future as there is so much more to do in Te Anau.

Nothing.

The breakfast was just perfect; fresh fruit salad, toast and local honey yoghurt, plunger coffee. The location of the commanding viewpoint looking over Lake Te Anau was magical. Phil Smith, the host, was very hospitable, kindly, informative, knowledgeable. He feels like a real friend now!

Nothing could have been better.

Great view from the room facing the lake and nice garden and seating place. Phil was kind,helpful with his advice and knowledge. It was comfortable to use his kitchen,dining room and laundry.

The view was amazing, yum fresh fruit and toast for breakfast. Phil was nice and his knowledge was helpful. Let us use the washing machine and dryer which we appreciate very much. Bed was comfy. Smart TV in room.

That it was shared, don't get me wrong Phil is a great person to chat with, I just didn't like that it was someone else's home and having to share a lounge/breakfast area. Bathroom was tiny, placement of toilet roll was very awkward to turn and reach and hard to get in and out of shower bath with toilet being right there.
