The unit is a one bedroom apartment underneath the main house. It was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The provisions in the kitchen were more than adequate. The bathroom was very spacious and having laundry available was very helpful. Ample parking in front of the unit. Geraldine was very gracious and communicative as a host. Who would certainly recommend the unit to other travelers.

The property is clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for Doubtful sound trips. Amenities include everything that one needs. Geraldine communicated quickly when I had questions. Our only negative comment is that the listing clearly states there are two bathrooms. That is incorrect; there is one bathroom.

Home away from home
Enjoyed 4 nights here. Geraldine has supplied the apartment with everything we needed and then some. The bed was super comfortable, the neighborhood very quiet, the location to the lake trail very convenient and the laundry right in the apt was so helpful. We had the pleasure of meeting Geraldine and her husband and they were very hospitable. I highly recommend this place.

Perfect stay
We needed nothing. Grateful for coffee and ice cube trays! There was not an ice tray to be found at the other 4 places we have stayed. Lovely soaps and shampoos and towels.Please update the WiFi password on the wall. It took us a long time to realize the password in the guest book was different. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely abode.

Very nice small place - ideal for a family of 4.Big bathroom with shower, toilet, washing machine and dryer.Washer and dryer was very useful.Fully equipped kitchen. About 10 minutes away from Te Anau- very convenient.Close to a nice lake.Overall very good place.
We really enjoyed our stay at Geraldine's place. The unit was very well laid out and comfortable with a large garden. Being able to do laundry was also a plus. The lake was beautiful and access was just across the road. Geraldine was a friendly and helpful host. Highly recommend!
