We loved our stay here. Our room, although not that big, was very clean. Slightly unusual set up though with the rooms all off a long communal sitting area. An easy 10 minute walk into the centre of Te Anau where there is a good selection of places to eat, plus a large supermarket.

Shakespeare House B&B is a fabulous place to stay in Te Anau. The accommodation was comfortable, breakfast was great, and Nathan and Liz were friendly and helpful hosts. I have coeliac disease and they catered for me with a choice of gluten free cereals & bread for toast kept separately with a dedicated gluten free toaster that is not available for general use. Highly recommended.

Paradise in the southern alps.
The Shakespeare House is a delightful B&B with the most gracious and knowledgeable hosts. The unit was spotless, we were able to use the kitchen in the evening and the location makes access easy to the best Te Anau has to offer.

We really loved the hospitality from Liz and Nathan. The cooked breakfast was excellent. The only feedback would be a bit more space to place toiletries for the bathroom sink.
