Wonderful hosts! We were collected from the ferry by Peter & taken to lodge where we met Iris. Ulva Island trip to view birdlife, flora & fauna, plus saw sea-lions on a beach. Birdlife around lodge was fantastic with Kaka feeding apple from our hands! All in all a fabulous place to stay, comfy & a quiet location! Would highly recommend!

There isn’t one little thing in Mayflower Cottage that hasn’t been thoughtfully provided. It’s tasteful and beautifully decorated. What a gem of a cottage. It felt like home. Great location for everything we wanted to do and Te Anau itself was unexpectedly charming. My favourite place to stay on our tour of NZ. To top it off Dianne was so kind and helpful and gave us some great info for Fjordland trips! Hope to come back one day!

The rooms are spacious, clean, you get everything you need and a well equipped kitchen. The rooms might look a bit outdated, but they have all one needs. The location is 2-3min from the lake and 7-8min from the city centre (walking distance). The manager was the most welcoming host we have encountered in NZ, thank you for being so nice and kind. Also, the playground was much appreciated by our daughter.

Laundry facilities were so good to have free of charge. Room was in a great location walking distance to many of Invercargill's attractions and city centre.

Awesome place to stay (we were in Family Cabin #51, 3 bedroom) Ample room for us all, (2 Adults & 2 Teenage Kids), USB Charges are part of the wall plugs so no need for charinging heads. Super clean & comfortable unit, very modern kitchen & 2 very modern bathrooms with heated tile floors & towel rails, all the beds were great to sleep in. Great location close to town & tourist hotspots, staff were great to talk to about where to eat etc. 5 Stars from us & would certainly return there for another stay, thanks team.

Even though the hotel reception and restaurant building is under construction, we had great communications from the hotel explaining everything and offering us a meal in our chalet instead of the restaurant. The food was delicious! The breakfast was lovely in our room too. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location was great for access to the Milford Sound tours. There are friendly Kea who come to say hello too! Beautiful view from our chalet couldn't have a price on it. Lovely stay all in all.
