A lovely home away from home. The cottage was spacious and generously stocked with all the amenities one would need. Lovely owners who were super nice to us! The location was perfect for Milford Sound and Te Anau Glow worm caves. Highly recommend!

Spotlessly clean, thoughtfully furnished cottages provide a touch of heaven. So very comfortable and quiet. Nice fluffy robes to take the chill off. And lots of small touches like motion sensor nightlights and board games. Kitchenette is very well equipped. Could not ask for more. Highly recommend. And the stars are brilliant without any light pollution.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Thistle cottages. The home had beautiful scenic views of the mountains and a lush garden to take it all in. The hosts are very accommodating and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay. 5 Stars all around!

My wife and I stayed at Blue Thistle Cottages for a few nights during our honeymoon and holy moly it did not disappoint. You get your own private cottage! It’s like having a little house! That level of privacy alone makes staying here worth it. The views from our cottage were amazing and there were plenty of comfortable places to sit outside so we could admire it. It’s also not super expensive. We would have happily paid at least 25% more to stay here. For me, the privacy and scenery of Blue Thistle Cottages beats any high priced resort. Also this place is run by really nice folks. My wife left her favorite sweater there and the owner shipped it back to us! In New York!

Recently, my wife and I stayed five nights at Blue Thistle Cottages. Blue Thistle Cottages is on a peaceful property but is only three kilometers away from Te Anau Town Centre. Maggie, who is one of the owners, met us upon our arrival and was an excellent host. We stayed in Cottage 2, which has one bedroom, one bathroom, a living area, and a kitchen/dining area. The cottage was clean, comfortable, functional, and nicely furnished/decorated, and we had a parking space right next to our cottage. On the front porch are a table and a couple of chairs. The backyard is nicely landscaped and has a picnic table and a couple of Adirondack chairs. It also has a nice view of the mountains. My wife and I are particular about our accommodations when we travel, but we have nothing negative to say about Blue Thistle Cottages. Our stay there was most enjoyable, and we highly recommend these high-quality accommodations to anyone visiting Te Anau!

I stayed for 2 nights in the 'Cottage 3 - Sunset' unit. What an incredible gem in Te Anau--one of my favorite places I stayed while roadtripping through New Zealand! I highly recommend the cottage I booked, as it seemed to be the most private of the 4, although each of the cottages looked great! I appreciated the warm welcome/cottage walk-through when I checked in. I was able to park right outside of the cottage, which was convenient as well. The cottage was immaculate, SO well-equipped (with NICE items too, not cheap utensils or appliances), and very comfortable. The A/C worked well. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was large, and the shower had great water pressure. The blackout blinds and curtains throughout the entire cottage were also top-notch....no light coming through at all! Cute outdoor furniture is provided to enjoy the view of the mountains and sunset. Such a quiet, peaceful stay. I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful place. Would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I recommend these cottages to anyone who is staying in Te Anau. Thank you for your hospitality!

The setting of the Cottages is wonderful, just out of town but still quite close, and so the view and the night sky were lovely. Our cottage was very well appointed, and though we had one wet day, the garden was lovely to walk around, and we were greeted in the morning by the friendly cows. The hosts Maggie and Ian were helpful and friendly. Jacquie

Lovely accommodation just outside of Te Anau. Quiet and peaceful. Stylish and comfortable interior with beautiful landscaping outside. I loved sitting on the front porch in the afternoon sun and then watching sunset over the mountains from the same location. Wonderful, relaxing stay. Highly recommend,
