“perfect south island escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

after 2 weeks on the road we've had it with back aching beds. But since Te Anau is quite a tourist trap we ended up testing the beds in 5 different locations downtown. We were so glad when we checked out this "last option" on the list (since it is not exactly downtown) and found the sweetest of all B&B's ever!

The loveliest hosts, the most precious cabin with huge wonderful mattresses, kitchen, spacious bathroom and a seating area at the window viewing the garden, sheep and mountains in the background. Wonderful patio out front.

Very tastefully furnished and just a bliss staying here. We really regretted having to leave at some point...

Highly recommended and worth every cent!

“Pituresque views n warm hospitality!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

My first view from the Green cottage just took my breath away!! And when we met Jane.... Her friendly manner n warmth took away the fatigue of the long drive to Te anu. What a tasty welcome Brownie!!! And the next day had an early start to the day... So she packed us a Gormet picnic lunch, for a small cost!!! Turned out to be one of the best lunches we had in NZ!!! The rooms r spic n span n welcoming as well. Would love to come back!!!!

“What a wonderful place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Thank you very much for your great hospitality, Jane & Ross!
We very much enjoyed our stay for regretably only 2 nights in your wonderful green cottage. What a cozy perfect place to stay in such a beautiful surrounding, flowers blooming everywhere, situated in the middle of the lawn. We could watch the sheep from our cottage. What a peaceful impression, the perfect start for a trip to Milford Sound. We enjoyed the breakfast and the useful information you gave us for our daily trips. We also enjoyed feeding the lambs! We definitely will come back, next time we want to do the Doubtful track. Thank you for everything, making our trip an non-forgetable one.
We send you our best wishes!

Another slice of New Zealand heaven. We stayed in the green cottage for two days. Jane and Ross are fantastic hosts, they really make you feel welcome and are happy to chat about the local area. All the personal touches of home make this place a wonderful place to stay. Would live to come back!!!!

“Beautiful place....”

Stayed for ONLY 1 night with The McEwan family. We stayed in the blue cottage with it's lovely patio, wooden ceiling, comfy bed and spectacular view of Lake Te Anau. We had to leave super early and Jane prepared a huge feast for our breakfast.

If I go back to New Zealand, I would love to stay for a couple weeks at The Croft and hike all the nearby great walks (doubful, milford, routeburn, kepler etc) and maybe ask Jane and Ross if I could have the task of feeding the pet sheep (and lambs)!

Wonderful B&B run by the loveliest people.
