    Unfortunately, we weren't in Te Anau for long. This accommodation was the right size and price for our short stay. We opted for a room with an ensuite bathroom which also gave us a balcony view.

    Definitely good value for the money. Super accommodating staff allowing me to checkin a few hours before checkin time. Great location. Some rooms are clean but needs updating.

    It would be better if they had more stable bunk beds but other than that was perfect.
