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!

The most charming old cottage. They really thought of everything to keep you comfortable. Very generous breakfast items. Thanks for a great stay!
Xiaofan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our "quirky" stay in this renovated convent B&B. Stayed in the Bishops cottage located outside of the actual building. Super safe and quiet, with parking right outside of our room. Our hostess was amazing and nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast room was lovely with a great choice of foods on offer. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Kim was amazing and so accommodating! The room was so clean and tidy. The property was unique and well maintained. Loved the complimentary snacks and drinks and the hot breakfast was a perfect way to start the day. would highly recommend.
Shamby, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Martin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful property worthy of its outstanding rating. Charming quaint building with numerous interesting and lovely touches on beautiful spacious grounds. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, and the staff provided wonderful hospitality and excellent breakfasts in a very social atmosphere.....I could go on and on about how much we loved our three days there. This has my highest recommendation, 10 on a scale of 1-10.

Great stay in the train car at Te Anau Lodge. Friendly and very helpful staff. Kym was amazing, she helped us find the best cruise on Milford Sound, great hikes nearby and a restaurant recommendation. Breakfast was served in the dining room with delicious cold & hot options. Many extras with this stay. Thanks so much!
LuAnn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable and private room, warm and welcoming communal lounge, nice homely touches like home baking and hot/cold drinks freely available. Host manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable.
N, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful place, with an interesting history

This was the most gorgeous and quirky place to stay. We loved the heritage features and the creative atmosphere that has really shown off the fact that the owner has a good imagination. Consider a combination of an old convent building, beautiful spacious grounds, and then add a dollop of Alice in Wonderland. We were very happy with our stay in the bishops cottage, loved the location, and will come back to stay here as soon as we can plan another visit to Te Anau.
