It was our last night in the fjordland area before traveling to Queenstown and ending our 2 weeks in New Zealand. We wanted to be in a remote southern location and the Cliffs was a perfect choice. The views and location to the sea was exactly what we wanted. Be sure to visit the beach nearby. Our hosts were friendly, informative and very responsive to our questions. We enjoyed meeting them very much. We have great memories of the Cliffs.

Our stay at Cabot Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip to NZ. It is a magical, idyllic location and our hosts Brad and Breidi and their team welcomed us with kindness and thoughtfulness in their attention to detail. We would definitely go back and stay longer next time we are in NZ! We HIGHLY recommend this most amazing experience at Cabot Lodge!

Our stay at High Leys Lodge was absolutely wonderful. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable — everything felt high-end and thoughtfully put together. The lodge sits in a lovely courtyard, with the hosts and guests staying on different sides of the house, separated by an elegant and cozy shared lounge. The view from our room was simply breathtaking — the balcony looked straight out onto snow-capped mountains and the lake, and in the morning we could even see the golden sunlight shining on the peaks. It was magical! Breakfast was another highlight — beautifully prepared, delicious, and made with great care. We’re truly grateful for the hosts’ hospitality over the past two days. It was a happy and memorable stay — thank you so much! 🌄💛

The location was brilliant for the start of Humpridge Track. We were able to leave our car there as well as store our other bags inside the lodge. REAL coffee was made for us in the mng and Blake was super helpful. Lovely warm communal area and loved that there were records there from back in the day… great taste in music too!! Beds were comfy and clean. Lovely hot showers too.

Cabot Lodge was the best place we stayed during our vacation. It's a peaceful and relaxing retreat surrounded by gorgeous views of neighboring farms. We really loved walking the grounds and getting to know the farm sheep and mini horses. + The dinner was such a treat-- beautifully prepared and so tasty. I can't wait to return during my next visit.

The location was phenomenal, and the rooms were exceptionally clean. The delicious breakfast menu offered a ton of options. Hosts Sarah and John were incredibly hospitable, providing us with numerous suggestions for places to visit and dine. I highly recommend High Leys Lodge for anyone considering a stay in Te Anau!

The owners, Deanne and Chris, were wonderful hosts. The lodge has 3 modern and spacious cottages with view of the harbor. They were well furnished, clean, and our bed was very comfortable. The water pressure of the shower was one of the best ever encountered in a hotel on our many travels. We had 3 dinners at the lodge and they were excellent and beautifully presented.
