"I can't say enough good things about this property. We stayed 3 nights and were very pleased. It is located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from town. I loved the private entrance - not like other B&B's where you feel like you are in someone's home. Our room was appointed so well with thoughtful amenities. Our hosts were so friendly. The breakfasts were delicious and a great way to start the day. Just a lovely, lovely property and a wonderful stay."
Review fromGoogle
It was a pleasure to meet our very welcoming, friendly, & helpful hosts, Laura & Derek. Our suite was very comfortable, immaculately clean & well equipped for our recent three night stay. The suites are situated in a quiet & private residential area, only a short walk from the township & lake waterfront. Every morning we enjoyed a super breakfast delivered direct to our suite. Laura & Derek's local knowledge really helped us get the most from our visit to this very special part of New Zealand. Thank you again for helping to make our stay an enjoyable & memorable experience!
Review fromTripadvisor
"The facilities, the location and the breakfast were simply fantastic. The spa pool, the super comfortable bed and the underfloor heating were my absolute highlights, almost better than Milford Sound itself! Laura and Derek are super nice, helpful and quick when it comes to communication. I would come back anytime."
Review fromBooking.com
"The hosts were warm and gracious and thought of every detail to make guests feel pampered and welcome. The amenities were top notch—great shower, nicely equipped kitchenette (treats, coffee, tea, real milk in fridge etc) & lots of room to be comfortable. The breakfast offered many choices and was very nicely prepared. Highly recommend."
Review fromTripadvisor
"Wow what an amazing experience; right from the jump Laura & Derek make you feel warm & welcome. The rooms are so clean well appointed and so comfortable. Heated flooring, snacks, extra comfortable beds all the appliances you could need; all made for an exceptional stay. Like a home away from home. Breakfast was beautiful, really set us up for a big day onward to Milford sound. Will definitely be staying with you guys again with my family from Australia!"

"Very nice hosts. Breakfast is brought to your room. Very quiet area, but only a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. The jacuzzi in the garden can be used at any time. A very relaxing stay. Would happily return anytime."
Review fromTripAdvisor
"The accommodations here were absolutely phenomenal. The couple who runs it has paid such detailed attention to every single part of our stay and experience. The grounds were gorgeous. We ate outside. We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood. For breakfast they served exactly what we asked for and it was delicious! It was also very timely because we wanted to leave early to get to one of our adventures. If you’re going to be in this part of New Zealand, it is a fabulous place to stay!"
Review fromExpedia
"This was one of our highlight stays on our month tour of NZ. The attention to detail was amazing, the breakfasts superb and doing our laundry was no trouble. The sun shone so we made good use of the hot tub in the beautiful gardens. We highly recommend this B&B. Home cooked muffins for breakfast Devine.”
Review fromTripAdvisor
"Blue Ridge was like a home from home. So clean with lots of thoughtful touches. The family were so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was the best we’d had in NZ. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone staying in the area."
Review fromExpedia
"The personal touch is amazing. The walk to town is 5-10 minutes. There is a hot tub that can be used as well. Breakfast was as good as any 5 star hotel we had on the trip - a range of options were able to be selected from which was an amazing touch and attention to detail. The room was homely and very comfy and the shower was excellent. We definitely would use this again if in the area.
Review fromBooking.com
"Laura and Derek were amazing hosts. They have a lovely B&B, and the breakfast provided each morning was a great start to the day. We loved having the chance to talk with both of them during our 3-night stay and felt like they became friends. We will definitely stay there again if we ever return to New Zealand. It is a gem of a place with kind and generous hosts."
Review fromExpedia
"Te Anau Treasure - true kiwi hospitality. Very friendly hosts and we were warmly welcomed on arrival. The units have great facilities and the gardens are very pretty. Breakfast is outstanding and put us in good stead for a long day. Even has bathrobes which is a winner for me every time."
Review from Tripadvisor
"Perfect! Wonderful care and attention to detail, the room was superbly well equipped and perfect in every way. Plenty of garden space to enjoy the weather and a very easy walk to the town centre and lake front. Laura made you feel so welcome. We didn’t want to leave!"
Review from Tripadvisor
"The accommodation was first class with lots of lovely extras. Laura and Derek were amazing hosts and couldn’t have done more to help. Breakfast was delivered to your studio and was delicious. The studios were well situated, only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Te Anau but out of the hustle and bustle. Would recommend anyone to stay there."
