Featuring sea views, The Cliffs Seaside Lodge in Tuatapere features accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Complimentary WiFi is offered throughout the property.

The lodge offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. A balcony with mountain views is offered in all units. It was our last night in the fjordland area before traveling to Queenstown and ending our 2 weeks in New Zealand. We wanted to be in a remote southern location and the Cliffs was a perfect choice. The views and location to the sea was exactly what we wanted. Be sure to visit the beach nearby. Our hosts were friendly, informative and very responsive to our questions. We enjoyed meeting them very much. We have great memories of the Cliffs.

A continental breakfast is available at the lodge. Amazing place to stay just where the Humpridge Track starts. Staff is amazing and super friendly. Nice coffee. We also got some pizzas and amazing showers after the trail. They allowed us to charge our EV for an extra fee, which was super convenient for us. We will definitely come back

Featuring mountain views, High Leys Lodge in Te Anau features accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. The place is utterly exceptional. The view from the living room is unforgettable and combined with how private and catered the property is creates a feeling of something truly special. Hosts are great and you can see they put a lot of effort to make the experience great - the room was perfect and the breakfast in the morning prepared by the host was served with class that very often some professional hotels are lacking.
