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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.
