We spent a very comfortable night in a converted railway carriage which was quirky and a lot of fun. The carriage had pretty much everything you could require including a claw foot bath and a fabulous view of the distant snow covered mountains. Breakfast was provided and was served in the main building. A couple of things do need attention though, firstly the Wi-Fi signal which was too weak to function efficiently and secondly there was a broken window pane above the bed.

Over-priced for what you get. Very basic. You should probably bring your own food. Choices are very limited.

We stayed in a converted rail car located on the other end of the property from the main house. It was charming but think the rooms in main house would be more comfortable.

Very quaint property with unique rooms and nostalgic vibe. It felt like we were in a period mystery show! Breakfast was hearty and good, and the staff are wonderful. I forgot my credit card and they quickly texted me to come back and pick it up. Overall a wonderful stay that we would gladly repeat if we came back to Te Anau.

Character, character, character. This converted convent was terrific. Large library with balcony down the hall. Great grounds with an old railroad car that could be rented as a room. Terrific hostess, Kim. Very good value. Close enough to town center to walk to dinner.

Extremely helpful and friendly, the manager was full of great advice and arranged a seaplane flight over the Doubtful Sound - unforgettable. A lovely, quirky and laid back place to stay. Full of character and fun, and some interesting/delightful room options topped with a fabulous breakfast. We’ll definitely be back and will try to get the railway carriage!

The history of the Lodge as a convent is very apparent and celebrated. The host Kym is so helpful and was able to book our excursions and dining with ease. The walls are very thin and not sound proof so mind what you do: the neighboring room can hear!
