Your chalet is set on 13 acres of rural property with sheep, chickens and horses. Join your host, Helen, for a horse trek along the river. There are plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained. Would your kids love to go fishing? Walk down to Waiau River or Lake Te Anau to find a fisherman’s paradise.
You can find the start of the famous Kepler track within 10 minute walk, or the small town of Te Anau a short drive away. Here, you can find, what the locals say, are the best pies in town at Miles Better Pies.
