• Taylor (10/5): Great, well-appointed apartment as a jumping off pad in Te Anau - The apartment is great. Everything was well done and comfortable. Easy parking too. It would have been great to have a coffee set up other than instant. Either a French press or machine since there was not a coffee shop close by. But that’s just because it would have been nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee in the little garden.
• Andre (10/5): Heel aangenaam - Alles was prima. Netjes en leuk ingericht. Echt aan te raden. Niets
• Sandra (10/5): Beautiful base in Te anau - Everything you need, spacious, comfy, close to the lake. Thoughtful extras like choices.

• Manuela (10/5): Wunderschönes Cottages in super Lage von Te Anau mit kleinem Vorgarten und Sitzgegelegenheit - Sehr liebevoll und mit Geschmack eingerichtetes Cottage. Alles war vorhanden, man hat sich direkt wohlgefühlt. Wir hatten nicht richtig gelesen, dass es keine Kochmöglichkeit (außer Aussengrill) gibt. Zum Frühstück hätten wir uns gern mal ein Ei gekocht. Weil alles andere gestimmt hat, haben wir uns bei dem Frühstück arrangiert und mit der Mikrowelle ein Rührei gekocht.

• SHINHYE (10/5): 최고의 숙소 - 음식을 하는 데 필요한 기본적인 양념 및 조미료가 충분하게 갖추어져 있었고, 식기가 매우 예뻤다. 세탁기와 건조기, 세탁 세제까지 구비가 되어 있어 생활하기에 아주 편리했고, 바베큐 기계 사용법도 자세하게 안내가 되어 있어서 원하는 요리를 하기에 아쉬움이 없었다. 실내가 아름답게 디자인되어 있었고, 주차 공간도 잘 마련되어 있었다. 심지어 tv에서 넷플릭스 시청도 가능해서 여유 시간을 즐겁게 보낼 수 있었다. 시간만 허락된다면 오래 머무르고 싶은 숙소였다. 숙소를 이용하면서 딱히 아쉬운 점이 없었다. 4인 가족 여행객을 위한 객실이 있다면 참 좋겠다.
• Ebony (10/5): - What a beautiful stay! Incredibly clean, snacks on arrival and wonderful thoughtful touches to make your stay comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here. Only a short walk into town or the lake. Would recommend!

• Melanie (10/5): Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. - Beautiful cottage with everything needed. The gardens and outdoor area are excellent and nicely maintained, which adds to the experience. Walkable to everywhere but nice and quiet.
• Katherine (9/5): Pretty place with nice touches - My husband was super sick the evening we were there and we had to scramble for accommodations the next day as we had to cancel our overnight boat excursion. We would have preferred to spend an additional night, however we didn’t hear back from the host until we had already made arrangements to go elsewhere. (We weren’t sure if she had availability or not)

The room was VERY CUTE and EXTREMELY well appointed and very very comfortable (the sheets were SO SOFT!!!!). The host was very generous and left us lots of snacks and even a bottle of wine. There was a lot of helpful information in the folder. Nice quiet neighbor, right next door to a church, where we attended an early Christmas Eve service. Lovely!

• Cecilia (10/5): -
• Tiahna (10/5): Beautiful and homey stay in Te Anau - would recommend to anyone - Loved everything about this property!! This is a beautiful and homey stay that was a refreshing break from hotels and motels. The property had everything we needed and loved the personal touches like the snacks and booklet on the place and area - including eating and activity recommendations. Was super close drive to town and activities and was a great base for Milford Sound too.
• Mikaela (10/5): Clean comfortable well thought out place for travellers exploring the area - A cute property. So clean. And comfortable with everything I needed after a few long days exploring the area. Its nestled in the suburb. Its nice and quiet. The bed was comfortable.

Very well thought out with access to wifi so you can get door codes etc. Excellent communication throughout the whole stay. Nothing. It had everything I needed.
• Michael (10/5): We has a great stay and would likely recommend this cottage. - Great location on a quiet street in town. Owner has thought of every detail for a comfortable stay. Even has a nice Weber grill for guests to use.
• Frank (8/5): Jederzeit gerne wieder. - Ein liebevoll mit vielen kleinen Details eingerichtetes Cottage, in dem man auch gut einen Regentag verbringen kann. Gibt nichts zu meckern.
• Anton (10/5): Excellent stay, this accommodation really helped me feel refreshed, recharged and pampered - Nicely decorated. Quality linen and towels. Very luxurious, but had a homely feel.
• Lorraine (10/5): Very nice set up. - Really nice place
• Ting Chieh (9/5): - 這間住宿令人相當驚喜，整體質感與細節都展現出主人的用心。房間設計精緻舒適，佈置充滿設計感，據說屋主本身是建築設計師，難怪整體空間的美感與比例都拿捏得恰到好處。採光非常良好，大面窗戶讓陽光灑入房內，窗外正對著街道上盛放的櫻花，景色浪漫又愜意。環境維持得十分整潔，並配有洗衣機與烘衣機，甚至貼心地提供洗衣粉，對長住旅客來說相當便利。屋主還準備了可愛的迎賓小點，以及詳細的房屋說明與周邊餐廳推薦，讓人一入住就感受到滿滿的誠意與溫度。 唯一稍微需要注意的是浴室的設計。由於採用了無障礙設計，洗澡時若不留意蓮蓬頭的方向，可能會讓整個浴室地板變得濕滑。不過整體而言，這間住宿在舒適度、美感與貼心度上都表現出色，非常適合想在旅途中享受溫馨與品味兼具空間的旅客。
• Mike (9/5): - Very nice room with quality fittings it is a little bit small
• Sally (10/5): Immaculate cottage and perfect for a wonderful stay - The cottage was immaculate and had everything that we required. The location is superb and the town is wonderful. We very much enjoyed the space at the Cottage and the opportunity to even do our washing! It is a fantastic place to relax and unwind on a very quiet road with all the facilities that you will need. It is one of our favourite places to stay now! The shower floor is a little slippy when wet but we welcomed the fact it was accessible for all and everything was there to make it inclusive. Lovely touches ! We will try and get back as we loved it!
• Kelvin (10/5): - Perfect location for Milford Sound. Facilities excellent.
• Bo Yang (10/5): -
• Jane (8/5): A very convenient location. Very accessible to lake and easy stroll to cafes. Immaculate in presentation and thoughtful - Cleanliness & attention to detail Nothing to dislike
• Anna (10/5): - The Mayflower cottage was absolutely perfect. Indications upon arrival were very clear, it was very clean and cosy and had all amenities and in perfect state.

In sum, very grateful for our stay!
• Chris (10/5): High-quality comfort - Compact, but super-comfortable and very well equipped. (Maybe a coffee pod machine or plunger are needed?) We were there just one night but could easily have stayed longer.
• Denise (10/5): Fabulous & will be telling all about this amazing property to stay in Te Anau. - The architecture design & the use of space was amazing. We loved the decor & detention to detail, very well executed. Nothing
• Paul (10/5): Best accommodation we stayed on both the north and south islands - Immaculately presented and appointed. This tops the list for accommodation options. I would encourage a solo traveller or a couple who are reading this to confidently book and know you will love this place There was nothing I didn’t like.
• Swapna Karthik (10/5): - Mayflower Cottage was outstanding, conveniently located near the city center, with top-quality amenities throughout.
• Rebecca (10/5): A beautifully designed, comfortable stay and perfect stop on the way to Milford Sound - We loved our stay at Mayflower Cottage! The room was spacious and well-equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, heated bathroom floor, and a cute cottage front garden. It looked newly built, with a unique interior decor and comfortable furnishings. Great-sized room in a convenient location, close to the lake and an easy walk or drive into town and an ideal stop on the way to Milford Sound The shower would benefit from glass walls, but having a shower curtain is understandable for accessibility. Amazing water pressure!
• Clare (9/5): -
• Therese (10/5): - We chose to stay here to go for the Doubtful Sound Trip, which is beyond amazing! The Mayflower cottage is beautiful. It is clean and beautifully decorated.

• Tracey (10/5): Mayflower Cottage provided all we needed.Great features. Close to town - Cute & cosy. Functional. Warm. Great features Nothing
• Damian (10/5): -
• Siobhan (9/5): -
• Glasson (9/5): - It was very clean and warm with full utilities for laundry. Many extras and didn't know if all the towels were for us. It was close to town, had a great shower, and a nice patio. The cooking utilities were a microwave, and Te Anau is expensive for meals if you don't know the area. It is quite compact, and unfortunately, the sideboard was damaged when the chair accidentally caught it. There was a clothes line outside but no line inside to dry clothes. We couldn't use the barbecue because it was raining. However, we still loved our stay.
• Ben (10/5): -
• Grant (9/5): -
• Dallas (8/5): -

• Craig (10/5): Beautiful! - Mayflower Cottage is beautiful. Very comfortable with everything you need plus generous extras. Great communication and easy directions. So well designed and decorated. Would definitely recommend it and will be back. Couldn't fault it
