Three of us had travelled to NZ for a wedding and decided to do a mad dash round the South Island to explore the glorious countryside while we had the opportunity. This included a trip to Milford Sound and so we were looking for a short stay in or around Te Anau. We wanted good value, a good nights sleep,... More

Three of us stayed here before and again after doing the Milford Track. Zeb could not have been more helpful-drove us to TeAnau so we could catch the bus for the Milford Tramp and picked us up again after. He kept our rental car in his shed while we were away. He even gave us some of his special insect... More

A beautiful 2 bedroom cottage with an open plan lounge kitchen diner, what a view from the picture windows in the lounge and main bedroom. A very warm welcome followed by a light touch hosting meant this was a perfect rest and recuperation stop after a month of fast paced touring of NZ. A lovely quiet retreat. Only thing to... More

We booked online a couple of days beforehand and got our vouchers and directions straight away. All very straightforward and efficient. When we called to ask how to get from the airfield, the owners offered to come and collect us. Zeb was really welcoming, and even tried to lend us a car to go out for dinner as we had... More

Fantastic place to stay. The Cottage had everything we required and was very clean. We slept really well, I think the bed might be better than our own! It was lovely and peaceful with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We will be back. Thank you so much.

My wife and I along with our daughter have just spent 2 nights at Acheron cottages. The cottage was very comfortable and clean ... could not ask for more. Zeb and Janice were terrific hosts and made us feel very welcome. We left a phone charger behind and I emailed asking if it could be mailed back to us ...... More

My husband, brother-in-law and I can't thank Zeb and Janice enough for providing us with information regarding the Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound cruises & hiking trails. Zeb and Janice couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We stayed at the Stella Burn Cottage which was super clean with awesome views from the deck. The kitchen has everything one needs... More

The cottage was immaculately kept and clean, and we felt right at home. We loved having a drink on the porch as we watched the sun set over the mountains. Manapouri was one of our favorite places in the South Island, and we found it to be very peaceful and tranquil. We were so thankful that we decided to stay... More

Lovely hosts, very clean and relatively new facilities, comfortable beds, well-kitted kitchen, and a pretty good view of the mountains and deer (in the paddock) across the road from the cottages. Manapouri is about 15 minutes drive from Te Anau, is lovely and quiet, and is where the boats for Doubtful Sound leave from. We had a lovely couple of... More
