The hotel proprietress is enthusiastic and will introduce you to the surrounding area, introduce the main attractions on the way to the fjord park, help us inquire about local traffic conditions, and repeatedly remind us to drive slowly and pay attention to safety. Because she is not hard of hearing, she also took the trouble to write for us to read, which is really great Thanks. The restaurant introduced also has good food and is a popular restaurant in the town. Although we were in time for the 10 o'clock boat time, we were unable to order breakfast from his restaurant that was highly recommended by our friends. However, early in the morning, the boss and his wife were busy in the restaurant. Thanks.

just spent two nights at Shakespeare's house while visiting Milford Sound and the glowworm caves. The accommodation was well presented, clean and comfortable. The hosts were full of knowledge and happy to pass on many tips. Would stay again and highly recommend to others.

A lovely location, a short walk away from the breathtaking views of Lake Te Anau and beyond. The room was lovely and the staff were lovely! As it was off season, we were the only ones on site for the duration of our stay. There was laundry on site, a nice and airy living/common space, the kitchen was available for most of the day, so you could borrow cutlery and plates as required, use the communal fridge if you needed. The staff were so kind too, happy to help you plan your day or find your way around town. I would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shakespeare House. Nathan and Liz are incredible hosts and the other staff very friendly and helpful. They provide excellent breakfasts which set you up well for the day and provides an opportunity to chat with the hosts and other guests. We were all comparing outings from the previous day and learning of new activities to do. We extended our stay an extra night to see more of this beautiful area! We look forward to staying here again.

The property was perfect for resting after exploring around Te Anau. The host was engaging and gave terrific recommendations for the local area, as well as in our next destination in Queenstown.

A wonderful place to stay. Situated in a quiet part of the town Nathan and Liz are very welcoming. Breakfast is included , rooms are clean and comfortable, and guests can use the kitchen. Ideally located for a day out to milford sound, enjoy water sports or organised tours fro Teanau.

Disappointing Check-in was good. Room was very small, which was not a problem. It was very clean, but poorly equipped. The room was for two people, but there was only one chair. There is no air conditioning, and portable fans are not available. Wi-Fi was fantastic!
