We stayed here one night but wished we could have stayed longer. Ray & Leonie were great - they were responsive on email, and let us checkin early when we arrived. The cottages are roomy with a nice living room & couch, fully stocked kitchen (4-element gas cooktop, microwave, fridge, and plenty of dishes, pots, pans, and utensils), a patio... more

We stayed at the cottages for two nights in November. With two small boys it was cosy. The children slept on a fold out bed in the lounge area. The main bedroom was beautifully decked out with lots of big pillows on the beds! There was a BBQ on the front deck, and an adequate kitchen area. The cottages are... more

We stayed for 2 nights in the cottage - it is really a luxurious cabin. Well appointed kitchen, spotlessly clean with great attention to detail and all the little extras. Free phone calls to NZ and Australia were an added unexpected bonus. Free internet was also included. Parking right next to the cottage and about a 5 min walk to... more

Birchwood Cottages were easily found on the way into Te Anau. Natasha made us very welcome, suggesting ways of enjoying the area and booking excursions to Milford and Doubtful Sounds. Good recommendations to the local restaurants too and her choice of the 'Red Cliff' saw us through for our entire stay. We just worked our way through the menu! The... more

It was last minute but luckily we managed to find this gem of a self-contained cottage to explore Milford Sound and Te Anau. Natasha was a fantastic host, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The two cottages are lovely with bedroom, ensuite shower room and open plan kitchen, lounge/dining area and tastefully decorated (not a floral bedspread in sight). In... more
