We booked to stay in the train carriage which is quirky and has a lot of character. It is also cosy. However it does require some TLC and if you stay there it would be nice to have housekeeping as you do for the main house. After 2 nights we had a maintenance issue and spent our third night in the Bishops quarters. Ok but no character compared to the carriage. Bed very comfy though. Good location for walking into town and the company we used for the Milford Sound trip - MitrePeak- picked us up from the end of the drive.

The engaging welcome, delightfully unconventional decors, fireplace and complementary red wine in the library, and nice breakfast in the chapel.

fascinating history, central location, great outdoor space, lovely rooms, extremely clean and well cared for

Only stayed one night, wish it could have been longer, may well return.

Great breakfast, wonderful and informative host (Kyn) and staff, quiet and clean. Nice library area with fireplace.

Everything was great!

I enjoyed my stay at Te Anau Lodge, the staff were nice and very friendly the place was very clean+++++ the bed comfortable The choice of food available at breakfast time was amazing and it was nice sharing a table with other travellers and chatting It was particularly special to me as I stayed in the Music Room where I was taught Music in the 1960’s when the building was located in Nightcaps Nostalgia and special memories Thank you

Comfortably elegant. Good breakfast. Wonderful host.

Nothing.

I was in a detached building called ‘Bishops Lodge’ so it was very quiet and I didn’t have to worry about being quiet either. The breakfast was good.

There was no welcoming milk carton in the fridge (probably just simple oversight) They had gone ‘over the top’ with the ‘Bishop’ thing with dark furniture and even a cassock hung up on hooks with too few hooks to hang my stuff on.
