Hop, Skip and Jump to the Lake - Te Anau House

It's all in the name! Relax and unwind in this perfect little spot in Te Anau, just a Hop, Skip and Jump to the Lake!

This cute 2-bedroom bach is on a fully fenced section framed by tall leafy trees and tucked down a driveway that leads directly to the shining lake. With plenty of space to kick the ball around, park the boat and play outdoors, this is the ideal choice for an outdoorsy couple or small family.

Hop, Skip and Jump to the Lake charmingly mixes quaint country style with contemporary conveniences, including Wi-Fi, mobile cell coverage and heat pump.

Te Anau is the dream destination for adventure-lovers, with beautiful wild landscapes and plenty to see and do. After a day out on the lake or hiking the Fiordlands, relax in comfort on the squishy leather sofa in front of the old-school brick fireplace.

In warmer months, fire up the BBQ for a classic Kiwi dinner on the private patio, followed by a lakeside stroll in the evening sun. Bliss!

Hop, Skip and Jump to the Lake is also walking distance to the playground and Te Anau's cafes and restaurants.

Discover your new happy place in Te Anau, just a Hop, Skip and Jump to the Lake!

Great location near lake abs town

We really enjoyed staying so close to the lake and just a short walk from town. The house was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the wood stove in the living room made everything so cozy. The kitchen was well appointed. It was just a nice little cottage in a very pretty and convenient area.

Incredible location - a few issues with the house

If location is everything - this was the very best. We drove our rental car into the driveway and walked everywhere for 4 days - including to two tour experiences. That made our stay just wonderful. But the house itself had some issues. It was super clean and decorated in a lovely way. The linens were great and the beds were very comfortable. Our concerns were about how freezing the house was at all times. A window in each of two rooms was made of louvered glass so it couldn't be closed all the way! The heating unit was of very limited value. Some days - we were there the first week of fall - the temp was about 4 degrees C. That made the inside extremely chilly! The host was quite lackadaisical about responding to us. One question we sent was never answered, another took 2 days to hear back. The guidance sheet was odd. There were directions for the dishwasher, yet there wasn't a dishwasher. A heat pump was mentioned but we couldn't get any warm air to come out of it. There were warnings about the house getting too hot. I guess it must get hot in the summer. There were directions about putting the trash out yet there weren't any trash bags to use. The kitchen was not really stocked with anything. There wasn't even salt. There were leftover soup packets and teas other guests must have left. And yet my husband and I still say the location was everything. A 2 minute walk to the lake and not that much farther to downtown Te Anau. I'm writing this in the hope the owner will improve the climate issues and perhaps provide a bit more in the kitchen.
