Lake front house with mountain views
Beautiful views and great location. Bathrooms were quite updated and spacious and the laundry was too. Perfect for our small family to relax after enjoying the outdoors.

Lakeview Living Te Anau
It's a nice home, very cozy and comfortable. The food and supermarket was just a 5 mins drive away and there is also a beautiful lake right down the house. It was a very nice place to rest and relax especially when you are travelling to visit Milford Sound.

The Bivy - Manapouri Lakefont
Really nice peaceful property. Location was great only 2 minute walk from lake Manapouri, which is beautiful, as well as general great views in the surrounding area. Makes for a good base to go to the Fiordland National park, around 2 hours to Milford sound. Place itself was spacious and had everything you would need, comfortable bed, kitchen, parking. Carolyn was a great host too, would recommend.

Cosy cottage by the park (flat rate)
My family really enjoyed staying at this very quaint home. It felt like Grandma's house. I especially loved the upstairs living room and the very spacious master bedroom. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. There's also a grassy park across the street for those with children. It is very close to the lake and shopping.

The House with the Red Door
I had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful—immaculately clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host’s communication was proactive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience seamless. One of the highlights was definitely the stunning views from outside—truly breathtaking and even better in person. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway. Would love to stay here again!

Home on Sth Arm Drive Te Anau. Wheelchair Friendly
Our family had a wonderful time visiting Te Anau and Milford Sound. The house was a great place from which to base our day trips. The closeness to Lake Te Anau was a plus. We had beautiful vistas all day long. The walking path next to the lake was so inviting and fun for the kids. The house was comfortable with plenty of space for our family of 7. Don’t hesitate to book this Airbnb for your trip to Te Anau and Milford Sound.

A Lake Front Retreat
Beautiful home. Comfortable beds. Convenient to everything in town. On the lake. Easy to find. It was all good.

Blue Mountain Getaway - Relaxation Guaranteed
We had a great stay at Julian's place earlier this month. It was perfect for our family. We've learned we really need a dishwasher, kitchen, and washer/dryer when traveling with children and this place was perfect. Great location within Ta Anau, 4-5 min drive to anywhere we needed to go. Very easy communication leading up to our stay. Easy check-in process. Easy to get the place warm and cozy at the end of the day. Nothing negative to say. Would recommend Julian's place and would stay here again!

(7)Te Auau Exec one bedroom/ kitchen Lake views
Justine's place was super cosy. We looked forward to coming back after our long days out in Milford sound. It was clean and comfortable. The area was nice and quiet with other nice properties surrounding. There is a walking track directly across the road which was nice for a short walk in the morning. The place also had great views of the mountains. Justine's place had everything that we needed! Thankyou for sharing your space with us! We will be back again in the future 😀

(8)Uninterrupted mountain/lake views with kitchen
This bnb had what we needed for our quick couple days in Te Anau. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking items and the living room has plenty of seating. While I’m not taking full stars off for these items be forewarned that the bathroom is TINY. The sink is very difficult to use because of its size and water gets everywhere. It wasn’t a big problem for 2 nights but be aware if you’re doing an extended stay. The other item of note was that the single washer/dryer unit was almost constantly in use. We ended up having to take time to just stand near the door to get our clothes in queue.

(3)Amazing lake and mountain views studio
We really enjoyed our stay here. A very comfortable little home at a convenient location :)

(6)Beautiful Te Anau lake and mountain views 3bdr
We had a great stay. The units were as described and clean. We booked 2 adjoining properties with an interconnecting door and this worked well for the size of our group. We also received helpful and prompt communication with enquiries that we had.

(2)Fantastic vistas across the lake to mountains
Great spot for a overnight stay, very comfortable, great shower!

(4)Incredible lake and mountain views in 2bed/bath
This apartment was just as described, lovely, spacious and clean with a well stocked kitchen if wanting to cook. Pet friendly also, which was incredible so we could bring our dog on our adventure.

(5)Gorgeous mountain and lake views 3bdr3bath
The house is in a great location, close to the lake, everything was satisfactory and impeccable.

(1)Stunning lake & mountain views with kitchen/2br
It was such a cosy house. Really loved the view from the drawing room. Our stay was hassle free and really felt home. If I have money, I would buy such units 😀

Cheerful and relaxing 2 bedroom cottage in Te Anau
Homely and comfortable stay with great amenities!

Fern Cottage
I loved this cottage. I felt right at home. I liked the extra touches of fruit and cereal along with a great shower. I enjoyed being close to the lake for an evening walk. I would definitely stay again.

Black's Hut - Lakefront Cottage
One of the most spectacular Airbnb's we have ever stayed at. The view is sensational and it is a lovely, peaceful setting. The Airbnb itself was modern, comfy and clean. It was well appointed with a full kitchen and well stocked supplies. Bedrooms were comfy and there were modern, clean bathrooms. Te Anau is a great place to stay as a base for trips to Milford or Doubtful Sound. Black's Hut is around a 30 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer if you take the very scenic route along the lake edge. There are no busses or taxis. All and all it was a fantastic stay and comes highly recommended.

Thyme On The Terrace
Very roomy and comfortable accommodation. Large bathroom with a fabulous tub. We used the washer and dryer…very handy. Heated floors kept the place warm and cosy. Kitchen is well equipped. Would stay there again. Thanks Peter and Yanli.

Awe Burn Cottage @ Acheron Cottages
This is a lovely place to stay, especially if you want to be away from the crowds. The cottage has everything you need and Jo is very welcoming and helpful. Thanks!

Aramanawa - a cosy cottage with private rooms
My son and I stayed at Kathryn's home for two nights while staying in New Zealand for the first time. We went to Doubtful Sound on one day and Milford Sound the second day. She has a sweet and comfortable little home that she was very proud to show us. The beds were comfortable, and we spent quite a bit of time talking together. It was in a quiet neighborhood. She was easy to talk to over the app and in person. This is not a knock on Kathryn but keep in mind there is not much in Manapouri as far as fuel or groceries. It has one restaurant called "The Church" which was quite good but if you need supplies you need to drive 15-20 minutes to Te Anau. I should have done my homework on that. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much and would stay again if we go back to New Zealand.
