SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

Te Anau is possibly one of the most beautiful places that we have seen and our stay at Birchwood Cottage elevated our experience to a new level.
We visited in the month of Sep and booked for 2 nights stay when Ray (owner) insisted that the place is too good for just one night visit; Ray, I still thank you for that!
Our one bedroom cottage was elegantly done and looked like a picture postcard. We loved every little details of the cottage.
We took the Milford trip from the cottage and trust me, the leisure tour is much better than the exhausting trip from Queenstown and back.

“From the moment we arrived we knew we were in for something special. Having travelled extensively this cottage was one of the best I had stayed in. It was like a home away from home full of comfortable creature comforts. We will visit again.
Thank you Ray and Leonie for making our stay such a memorable one.”

“We didn’t want to leave!! The cottage was adorable and had everything we needed (always a plus, the bed was very comfortable!). And the owner was so lovely and helpful!!! The town center and lake side is only a few minutes walk away (what else could you ask for?!)“

“We stayed here for 2 nights while we explored the Fiordland region. Our host was lovely and helpful, the cottages clean and modern, with lovely decor and cosy. Its also very convenient to have cooking facillities. Good value for money and would definitely recommend to others…“
