Te Anau Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Up at 6am for our bus journey to Te Anau. There were only 6 of us on the bus from the group. We arrived into town at about 10.30am after having a few sightseeing stops on the way. We all went into the Pop Inn Café for a fry-up. This was going to be Lorna & my last big brekky for about 5 days! We then got dropped off at the Te Anau Holiday Park a...

Zaterdag 15 December Vandaag begonnen met de Keppler track. Redelijk vroeg eruit want ik moet de kaartjes voor de hutten onderweg nog ophalen en nog de boodschappen voor onderweg. De eigenaar van de hostel bood me een lift aan dus heb een ritje in zijn jaguar naar de supermarkt gemaakt. Blikken met spagetti en baked beans gehaald en met twee tas...

After our Fox Glacier trip we headed straight for Wanaka, and were finally able to do our shopping yay. This was another really beautiful place, was picture perfect with a huge lake and moutains in the backround. We spent two days here just relaxing and enjoying our surroundings. After Wanaka we headed for Te Anau, this was our stopover point be...

Fun little day today. Started off making some jewellery from sea shells, which was all good and pretty cheap. Jules walked away with 3 new necklaces for just $5! Then it was off to a sheep farm to watch sheep being herded by dogs and then we even got to shear them! Jules said it was just like cutting my hair! After that we motored along to Te An...

We got back yesterday and hit the supermarket and enjoyed the fresh fruit, veg and meat we'd been looking forward to so much. Last night we went to see Ata Whenua aka Shadowland which is a film made by a NZ helicopter pilot showing off all the parts of Fjordland that can't be reached otherwise, a completely untouched wilderness. Today, as we're ...

So, I managed to buy an old car off a good friend in QT (thanks Jen), so Blake, Adam, Drew and myself hit the road with no real plan of what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go. All we knew was we wanted to see as much as we could without blowing a load of cash...... This was the first stop, Te Anau, just on the border of Fiordland, not a m...

Weather was pelting down with rain all last night so weren't hopeful about our trip today. Got our bus to Lake Manapouri for our boat to take us over the lake to then get our bus to then take us to the next lake for us boat to Doubtful Sound. Is pretty remote and very few tourists come here which makes it better in some ways to Milford. Small gr...

Having woken up early, we managed to leave Queenstown at about 7.30am to head out on the road to Milford Sound. Although Queenstown and Milford Sound are actually geographically very close, to get there, you have to loop about 300km on windy roads (about 5 hours worth of driving). As we passed through Te Anau, we checked into our hostel, swapped...

Thursday afternoon Chris and I set off to endure a struggle through the Kepler Track-one of DOC's three Great Walks of New Zealand. Day one involved a walk along the shore of Lake Te Anau and after about two hours ascended into beech forest. Zig zagging up the side of the mountain proved to be easier said than done. The alpine section was well r...

I woke up this morning around 9:30 and my bed was shaking. I thought someone was messing with me, but then I realized they'd have to be shaking the Nunnery. I decided to wait for the after shocks, but sleep was too comfortable and I only experienced probably thirty seconds of the earthquake. It was a 7.2 and apparently not as strong as the one t...
