I’m so glad we booked House of Wood. It was our first time in NZ and after a very long flight from England and a two hour car drive House of Wood, Te Anau was the first stop of our holiday. Meryl is a lovely lady, and even though she was rushed off her feet cooking for other guests, she... More

We had a very enjoyable stay at the House of Wood. Merle gave us lots of helpful info, including info on a short drive up to a viewpoint over Te Anau and surrounding areas which was truly beautiful. Breakfasts were yummy and we could choose what we wanted on our cooked breakfast. The room was more than adequate for a... More

This is a very nice B&B with 3 different room configurations. We had a double with ensuite - big comfortable bed, lovely linen, good bathroom with lovely soft towels. Merle does all her own laundry including ironing the sheets, so it was all very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with several choices and home made bread - pity I am gluten... More

We loved coming back again to this very nice B&B. Very friendly hosts and nice and clear rooms in a quite area of the village. Only a very short stroll to the shops and restaurants. Looking forward to be back when we are next in Te Anau

We were only able to stay one night at the House of Wood but wish we could have stayed longer. Very comfortable beds, lovely backyard, great location, delicious breakfast and great value. Highly recommended.

Merle and Cliff run a professional wooden B&B, with comfy beds, a wonderful breakfast (homemade bread, jam and marmalade, even rhubarb!), and very practical advice on what to see and do there. Although, when it rains in Te Anau, the options are somewhat limited…

We enjoyed the hosts' company, helpful and interesting people. Merle called the grocery store for us when we forgot an item without hesitating. The room is pleasant with nice gardens and the home is so close to the grocery store in Te Anau. Actually it is in the town of Te Anau, so you can walk around town easily. Set... More

We stayed three nights here and would gladly have stayed longer if we could! The room we stayed in was not very large, but had its own bathroom, direct access to the veranda on the second floor and a small fridge. Merle cooks up a large breakfast every morning, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomato beans, homemade bread, homemade marmalade, cereals, yogurt...... More

We stayed here between Christmas and New Year. We slept well, enjoyed the breakfast, and had plenty of space to park. It's actually a very short walk to town centre (much shorter than the equivalent drive) due to a cut through on the side of the house. Would happily go back.
