I think this is the loveliest property we have ever stayed in. It was a highlight during our driving tour of the South Island March 2011. We decided to splash out for something really different, and this place certainly is. Our welcome by Dawn was friendly, and she offered us a larger suite downstairs, rather then the suite we booked.... More

Our trip to the Te Anau area was absolutely wonderful and our stay at Dock Bay Lodge made it even more so. We were there with our son and daughter-in-law and our hostess, Dawn, could not have made us feel more welcome or at home. The rooms are luxurious, the views stunning, and the breakfasts sumptuous! We found snacks and... More

This is a wonderful place not far from Te Anau. It backs on to the lake and has wonderful views at all times but certainly first thing in the morning with the mist still hanging there. We stayed in the Luxmore room and definitely worth spending a little more to stay here. The breakfast in the morning was great as... More

A great B&B located a couple of miles outside Te Anau. The setting is simply spectacular, with a view overlooking the golf course, and then the lake, with the mountains forming the background. The house is new and stunning, and our suite was large and well-appointed, with floor-to-ceiling windows and large balcony. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfasts... More

Mark and Dawn have a VERY luxurious 5 room lodge overlooking the lake. Beautifully furnished, it has an excellent location. Minutes to both the Kepler trail and the town of Te Anau. Extremely comfortable lodge, large rooms, excellent breakfasts, gracious hospitality, etc. The bonus is a cute little Jack Russell named Colin! More

We stayed here for 4 nights in September 2010 on our honeymoon. Dawn was a great hostess, she managed to juggle her other guests around to fit us in for another night at late notice (when we couldnt get to Milfrod Sound due to avalanches), her breakfasts were delicious and she managed the fine line between being helpful but non-obtrusive...

Breakfast was another highlight a most deleicous feast for the... More
