Great place to stay in the Te Anau area. Great alternative for travelers who want to stay closer to Milford Sound.
It was a comfortable, attractive place for us. We could walk to town. The deck on the back was a wonderful place to hang out after exploring this beautiful area. Thank you so much to the owners. We loved our stay.
As advertised, a clean and convenient home in a quiet neighborhood. Nice garden to sit in after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Really enjoyed our stay.
Very clean property with all the amenities. Close to all the Te Anau activites - boating, biking, hiking and a great home base for Milford and Doubtful Sounds. We're very happy we chose to stay at Laybak Retreat.
Although we only stayed 2 nights at felt like a long holiday. relaxed environment Jo was awesome to communicate with. The section was perfect for our dog.
Clean, bright, comfy retreat in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Slider opens onto spacious deck and beautiful yard. One of our best accommodations in NZ.
A great weekend away in Ta Anau. House was cosy and well presented, with lots of little touches and extras, like condiments, herbs, toiletries, etc. Loved the large, fully fenced lawn for the dog.
We had a great stay at this house. We appreciated the large garden, indoor and outdoor sitting areas, cleanliness of the property, and the ease of settling in here (spices, shampoo, etc, were all provided). Thanks very much for making our time memorable!
