Rose
Amazing property - full of character but so well maintained and clean. Great amenities. They really have thought of everything. Highly highly recommended
DIAN
Breakfast is delicious, staff is very friendly, the carriage is interesting, we took lot of pictures!
Josephine
The breakfast was beautiful. So much to choose from. Nice to have a pillow that is supportive. The room we had was excellent. Staff so helpful.
Victor
Staff was very helpful, friendly and the facility was close to the lake. The owner has done a fantastic job to remodel this previous Catholic nun property with inventive decorations
Germano
We stayed at the train carriage. Super interesting experience. Love the place
Larry
Beautiful grounds with quirky places to stay. Unique old nunnery. We stayed in the Station House which was built in 2921. It was decorated with period accessories. Wonderful breakfast materials were provided and the shower was exceptional, The laundry in the house was very welcome.
Amy
We stayed in the refurbished train car and it was pretty funky . The shower was an old tub with a Gerry rigged shower head and the toilet was in a very small room( original bathroom) with a sink with broken fixtures. However it was definitely one of the most unique places we have stayed at and everything did work ok . Just felt like we were camping indoors. It was cozy I must admit. Very nice staff good breakfast
Christopher Dean
A former convent converted into a charming hotel. Well appointed rooms and a delicious breakfast made for a very enjoyable stay.
Efstathios
Very quaint, well kept and spacious property. Close to the downtown area. If you don’t have a car, it’s about a 20 minute walk into the main business area of the town which was fine by me. The property has a rustic eclectic character which creates a relaxing mood and feel. There is a huge chess set on the lawn as well as an old railcar for example. Would definitely stay here again.
Efstathios
Quaint lodge with very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent and provided much need fuel for my hike to Mount Luxmore summit.
Michael
Great quirky stay! Very unusual yet successful concept. Will stay again.
Stewart
An A+ for breakfast. Variety, well presented.
A place with a difference. Rooms have a theme name that represent a previous era. So good.
Staff join in the fun of being in a unique place.

Excellent in every respect. I highly recommend.
Helen
Quirky hotel with friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Great place to stay when visiting Te Anau, Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. Short walk to Te Anau town centre and the lake.
baber
The homestead was amazing, the staff at reception even more so. Next time we'll skip Queenstown and just stay at Te Anau Lodge for the duration!
Lacy
This place is SO cool! Kim, the manager on duty when we were there, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We stayed one night in the music room and one night in the train car. Our friend stayed in the bus and the wagon. The train car blew my mind! It was spacious, with a great shower/bath, and just felt so unique. The lodge itself is beautiful. Breakfast is good and the library is a great place to chill, have a beer or coffee, and read. If you pass through Te Anu, definitely stay here!
Ross
The outside is looking a little tired but on the outside but inside it was very nice ithought i'd booked for 2 nights which is what i set up in the app but as you go further down the list of available properties it goes from 2 nights to 1 for whats available it's not very obvious until you look into what happened so what you think your paying for is a total of 2 nights is actually 1 so it's a bit of a rookie error on my part but a learning experience
Moyra
Nice historic property
Merry
This was a perfect place to stay in Te Anau. It was cozy and delightful.
Lyne
The concept is really special. We loved it and the host was very helpful.
Tal
Old place. The manager lady was stunning with her willingness to assist. Good breakfast.
neridah
Staff were super helpful and friendly. Facilities were clean and the kitchen had a lot of supplies which was an added bonus.
Keith
We had a very good stay in a comfortable room and bed. We really liked the afternoon tea and drinks in the library upstairs as it brought guests together and made for a very pleasant evening. We were in the Bishops Retreat and thoroughly enjoyed the dressing up. A fun stay. Thank you
Elsie
We had a wonderful stay at Te Anau Lodge property. We had the whole Manaroa homestead to ourselves and Kim was so accommodating and provided wonderful groceries for us to use. She also gave us good advice for taking the scenic route through the Catlins.
martine
Spotless room with lots of character. Interesting building (a convent) lovingly restored, keeping a number of original touches. A wonderful breakfast is served in the morning; tea and cookies are available throughout the day in the library.
Pam
Friendly place to stay,
Marianna
Clean and cozy room. Very kind staff. Super tasty breakfast
Kait
A really adorable little B&B with lots of charm and an absolutely unbelievable view.
Jan
Creative place. Comfortable. Good breakfast. Cool place!
Jan
The staff were very friendly and informative. We stayed in the historic train carriage. It was a fantastic experience. Warm and cosy. Bed was comfortable, the shower was a fabulous experience (in the middle of the train) and the water was hot!! Breakfast was included and plentiful. A really lovely experience!!
Jack
Excellent all round. Best place I’ve stayed at in Te Anau.
Jonathan
We had a wonderful stay here! The location is perfect for adventures in Te Anau and going on to Milford. Our room was comfortable and had a beautiful view, and the whole lodge has so much character. The host was friendly and welcoming, and really accommodating. And the breakfast was amazing!
Ali
clean room, spacious, well maintained and stocked
steven
The restored convent and the fine furnishings both inside and outside the property provided an exceptional holiday experience that enhanced our stay in Te Anau. The Host Kym greeted us warmly and was fully attentive and helpful throughout our stay

LuAnn
Great stay in the train car at Te Anau Lodge. Friendly and very helpful staff. Kym was amazing, she helped us find the best cruise on Milford Sound, great hikes nearby and a restaurant recommendation. Breakfast was served in the dining room with delicious cold & hot options. Many extras with this stay. Thanks so much!
N
Very comfortable and private room, warm and welcoming communal lounge, nice homely touches like home baking and hot/cold drinks freely available. Host manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable.
Anthony
Whole place and individual rooms ooze character. Great change from the usual hotels. Fantastic breakfast.
Tina
A beautiful place, with an interesting history
This was the most gorgeous and quirky place to stay. We loved the heritage features and the creative atmosphere that has really shown off the fact that the owner has a good imagination. Consider a combination of an old convent building, beautiful spacious grounds, and then add a dollop of Alice in Wonderland. We were very happy with our stay in the bishops cottage, loved the location, and will come back to stay here as soon as we can plan another visit to Te Anau.
Sharon
A wonderful experience of sleeping in a railway carriage.
Wayne
Quiet very comfortable great staff couldn’t recommend more highly
Yani

Thank you for a nice homely stay, lots of things to do and fun for the children.
Darvin
Quintessential bed and breakfast
I wish all.my experiences could be this good. Comfortable, friendly, helpful with delicious home cooked food. The best!
Kathy
The staff is very warm and friendly
Joyce
I stayed in the train carriage and it was an experience of a lifetime. I’m amazed at how the carriage was transformed into a comfortable full-facilities room while retaining a vintage vibe.
Gerald and Judith
Nice restful location with large grounds.
Christin
What a fun experience sleeping in a train carriage!
William
Kim and her staff were great. Kim provided excellent local information and was a great resource.
steven
We spent a very comfortable night in a converted railway carriage which was quirky and a lot of fun. The carriage had pretty much everything you could require including a claw foot bath and a fabulous view of the distant snow covered mountains.
Breakfast was provided and was served in the main building.
A couple of things do need attention though, firstly the Wi-Fi signal which was too weak to function efficiently and secondly there was a broken window pane above the bed.

Over-priced for what you get. Very basic. You should probably bring your own food. Choices are very limited.
Sehoon
Friendly and kind staff.
Mary
Beautifully restored building with interesting and unique furnishings. View is lovely, huge grounds with delightful antiques, art and gardens. Super friendly staff. Loved the library and breakfast. Bed and bedding perfect, small but hot and well pressured shower. Thoughtful design throughout and really delicious food.
Ailine
Loved the unique vibe and Kim was gracious and helpful!
Doris
Lovely property. Unique building, an old convent. Excellent breakfast. Remodeled bathrooms. Staff very helpful with ideas for tours and dining.
Christopher
We stayed in a converted rail car located on the other end of the property from the main house. It was charming but think the rooms in main house would be more comfortable.
Paul
Really lovely B&B
Wonderful staff, lovely historic building, and great breakfast.
Bernard
Truly magical historic building on a lovely (and quirky) property. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast. Highly recommend as a jumping off point for Fiordland.
Mike
A great stay and a fantastic staff!
Adrian
Super great people and delightful environment
Eileen
Great stay.
Isla on reception was ultra helpful, the property was very unique but lovely.
Special additions were complimentary refreshments in the library, beautiful gardens and handy laundry facility. Walking distance to restaurants was about fifteen minutes

Jay
Very quaint property with unique rooms and nostalgic vibe. It felt like we were in a period mystery show! Breakfast was hearty and good, and the staff are wonderful. I forgot my credit card and they quickly texted me to come back and pick it up. Overall a wonderful stay that we would gladly repeat if we came back to Te Anau.

Character, character, character. This converted convent was terrific. Large library with balcony down the hall. Great grounds with an old railroad car that could be rented as a room. Terrific hostess, Kim. Very good value. Close enough to town center to walk to dinner.
Abhijeet
The owner and staff were very friendly and accomodating. The breakfast was excellent and they even went our of the way to cook breakfast when we were late on oyr last day of the stay. The free laundry was definitely appreciated.
Richard
Extremely helpful and friendly, the manager was full of great advice and arranged a seaplane flight over the Doubtful Sound - unforgettable. A lovely, quirky and laid back place to stay. Full of character and fun, and some interesting/delightful room options topped with a fabulous breakfast. We’ll definitely be back and will try to get the railway carriage!
Vic
Beautiful old, cleverly renovated building bought alive to accommodate travelers from all walks of life. Excellent and friendly reception and ongoing communication. Just a lovely experience and we would definitely stay here again
Martin
The history of the Lodge as a convent is very apparent and celebrated. The host Kym is so helpful and was able to book our excursions and dining with ease. The walls are very thin and not sound proof so mind what you do: the neighboring room can hear!
Jennifer
Loved everything about this place — Kim and Donna are exceptional hosts, the room was both charming, comfortable and had modern amenities. Breakfast was great. Especially liked the dumb waiter for luggage and the ping pong table out back! Highly recommend.
Sarah
Loved it all!
Marion
A unique place to stay so much charm and character definitely loved The Belfry room best views. Kim is an amazing host and she knows the best hikes in the area. It's such a good idea to stay in Te Anau before Milford as it's about half way. We loved our stay and they have the best Anzac biccies in the world.
Rebecca
Main part was not open, but they left food in the fridge for breakfast.
Annemarie
This is an extraordinary property to book. Kim, our host is just wonderful. We were treated like values friends who came home after a long time away from home. Breakfast is absolutely stunning, we did not want to leave the table because we had such great conversations with other guest and Kim and staff. Would not stay anywhere else!!
Jim
Great host.
Jennifer
Such a gorgeous atmosphere staying in this old convent. We were welcomed warmly and with cake by our lovely host Kim. It was a delightful experience.
Philip
We stayed in the train car and it was a magical experience.
The host was very pleasant and made sure all of our needs were met.

This was a highlight of our trip! The property was very interesting and had a lovely setup - a true bed and breakfast. Our host was fantastic, and she provided what was easily the best B&B breakfast I’ve ever had. Our room was clean and felt cozy. I would gladly stay here again.
Just an FYI this is a converted convent so there are some catholic symbols and pieces in some places to respect the history, but it’s not overly done in my opinion.

A wonderful historical site, and we will stay longer next time. Thank you, Kym, for your care and service!
Wendy
Te Anau is a stopover to Milford Sound for one night B&B. Lodge is a historic place used to be a nun’s convent. Place is well kept but do keep your noise level low and the floor board creaks. Township is less than 10min drive but not many dining options on Mondays.
Jiyao
A beautiful lodge with the most wonderful host
We truly enjoyed our stay at Te Anau Lodge primarily because the manager, Kim who is such a wonderful host. Upon our arrival, Kim great suggestions for us on good restaurants for lunch, activities in town like walking around lakes and scenery movies in Te Anau cinema. She reserved tables in RedCliff Cafe for lodge guests so we were able to had dinner at this famous local restaurant in the evening. In order for us to wonderful experience in Milford sound, she helped us to change our Milford sound cruise booking from afternoon to morning on so that we were able to enjoy peaceful scenery in Milford sound in the morning and hike several beautiful trails in the afternoon on the way back to Te Anau. Since we need to leave the lodge 6 am to catch 8:45 am cruise in Milford Sound, Kim packed breakfast for us the night before. She made us feel so welcome and so cared, we feel like we were staying a close friend’s house.
We stayed in the Bishop Retreat the first night and Fiordland Carriage (train) the second night. We enjoyed both accommodations which provided us “back-to-history” experience. We also enjoyed delicious breakfast in the classic dinning room.
The library in the lodge provides complimentary drinks and snacks and an opportunity to meet and chat with other guests.
We highly recommend the lodge.

Doug
We stayed in a railway car (about 35 feet long) and had the whole car to ourselves. We loved it! It was perfect for our needs. We were able to store our food for meals on our own. The included breakfast was substantial. It was a buffet and also made to order. The hostess was very friendly and offered me a coat when she thought that I would be cold on a cruise on the sound. That's going well beyond the norm. Afternoon tea is also offered in a cosy room with a view of the property. PLEASE NOTE - the steps up are a steep and NOT the best for anyone with mobility issues. They have lots of other nice and suitable rooms if you don't want the steps up. We would go back in a flash if returning to the South island and highly recommend this property.
Yannell
Very special spot 💜
Extremely charming and clean. Loved it!
Karen
A fun, quirky place! The staff could not have been nicer! Our little house was roomy and clean. Very old and full of antiques and that made it interesting. Everything worked and the beds were comfy. I would stay again if in the area.
michael
We stayed in the railway carriage. Eccentric, bonkers and real good fun! Make a meal in and enjoy being in a railway carriage.
DEEPAK
More of a B&B, very homely, helpful staff.
However, the bedroom did not have any space to sit. The only way to spend time in the lodge was to go to the (very nice) library room. Also, there was little space to put toiletries in the (very clean) bathroom.
