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.

Over-priced for what you get. Very basic. You should probably bring your own food. Choices are very limited.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic place to stay! Staff are wonderful, breakfast was exquisite, and it’s a fun place. You can stay in a former convent, or in the “bishop’s retreat” or even in an old rail car!
