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.

This was a fantastic B&B. The owners were phenomenal, friendly and could not do enough for us. The room very very clean and the bed very comfortable Best B&B we have stayed in for a long time

The room was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. Lost one star mostly for the bathroom. The sink was ridiculously tiny and there was no electrical outlet. They have an odd requirement that you have to verbally tell the staff that you want a cooked breakfast the next morning, however, when we rang the bell to tell them the afternoon before no one answered. We then got involved chatting with another guest, which was very nice, but forgot to try the bell again. We had to leave earlier than anticipated the next morning so we could get breakfast in town. Other than that, staff was great and attentive. Don’t totally fault them, it’s an odd policy.

The room was spotless and the owners are wonderful and welcoming. They have provided a lovely little community kitchen where we met many other friendly travellers. We thoroughly enjoyed being there. It is also a very nice location near the lake and restaurants, etc.

If we hadn’t already paid in full we would have left as soon as we walked in. No welcome when we arrived. Room was clean but the bed was so well worn it wasn’t funny. Plus it was a queen not a king. Walls very thin and a view of a fence out the window. Breakfast such as it was closed at 8:30am. Staff in the kitchen were rude. This is more of a backpackers. Wish we had read the reviews before booking.

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.
