The back road that takes you from Queenstown to Te Anau via Mavora Lakes in the south island of New Zealand.

I took a ferry from Queenstown and cycled over 100 kms - most of them gravel road ending in beautiful Te Anau.

"Clean and tidy older style house that was perfect for our family visit to Te Anau. The house is located very close to the town centre and other central attractions and good base to explore Milford Sound and access to many trout fishing rivers."

"Absolutely gorgeous little cottage in a perfect spot. Highly recommended."

"Comfortable, quiet and private rental and yet close to Queenstown and surrounding attractions. "

"We really enjoyed staying so close to the lake and just a short walk from town. The house was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the wood stove in the living room made everything so cozy. The kitchen was well appointed. It was just a nice little cottage in a very pretty and convenient area."

"Awesome place, Very warm and cosy, Nice and clean, and everything you need for a great stay away"

"Great house in a great location. Warm and comfortable with outstanding views of the lake."

"We had a wonderful time in Te Anau due to the perfect accomodation. The place was calm, ideally located and we had some very nice conversations with Brian and his wife.To be highly recommended!"

"There were numerous things that were misleading about this property on booking. The major issue being the 4th double bedroom was downstairs in the garage. Exposed to the cold, far away from others in the house and we were unable to use it as a bedroom which made sleeping arrangements difficult as a party of 8 (2 families). Another inconvenience for our travels was the washing machine was not working. When we called Bachcare they said they knew about this and therefore had not listed a washing...

"We loved this quirky, personality-packed property. It's centrally located, spotlessly clean and has a brand new bathroom. The kitchen is well-equipped and I imagine it would be a lovely, cosy house in winter as there is an open fire. Highly recommended!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, location and views are amazing, the property has everything you need would highly recommend this stay to anyone."

"Good location and very comfortable. "

"Te Anau was a cute little town. Enjoyed the downtown area for dinner. This house served as a great location for us to stay for spending 2 days in Milford Sound with our 2 kids and inlaws. Lawn and bushes needed upkeep. This made us a little worried when we pulled in. But the inside was spacious and comfortable."

"The house was freezing when we checked in therefore cold for the rest of the night and stay because of insufficient heating and poor condition of the house. The main bedroom door doesn’t shut therefore you have to push a suitcase against it to stop it from opening The condition of the house is extremely poor. There are drafts and gaps in the joinery where you can see outside. This is unacceptable especially when staying in Winter when it is minus 5 degrees. The bathroom heater broke during...
