Gemütliche Betten mit Vorhang. Es waren nur zwei Mehrbettzimmer mit zugehörigen Gemeinschaftsräumen in einem eigenen kleinen Haus. Schöner Garten. Ich durfte vor offiziellem Check In schon die Gemeinschaftsräume nutzen.

Das Haus war kaum isoliert. Die Fenster hatten nicht verschließbare Spalte, wodurch es schnell kalt wird, sobald die Sonne weg ist. Es gab in dem Häuschen nur eine Dusche und eine Toilette.

"Cozy glamping stay near the lake"

9.0

We had a lovely stay at Te Anau Lakefront Backpackers in the glamping tent. The room was nice and cozy, and the setup made for a unique and comfortable experience. The common areas were also clean and tidy. The shared bathroom was clean and well-maintained. However, having to go outside in the middle of the night was a bit of a challenge. One thing we really appreciated was the electric blanket, which kept the bed warm and made a big difference on colder nights. The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the lake, making it easy to enjoy the views and peaceful surroundings. Overall, it was a pleasant and memorable stay.

It would be even better if there were some hooks or space to hang towels and jackets.

Great location and common areas. The room had a separate kitchen and bathroom shared with one other room only BUT....

....the private kitchen cooking hob did NOT work. By the time we realised this our meal was ruined. We would have given the place 10/10 except for this
