    Truely nothing! We wished we could stay a touch longer, definitely a highlight of our trip

    We loved the home cooked breakfast and treats. Our hosts, Sarah & John were absolutely lovely people and very accomodating with some great recommendations! They made our stay amazing! A very relaxing stay with everything thought of down to the last touch

    High Leys is an absolute gem. The wing of the house for guests is beautifully appointed. Breakfast provided was exceptional. Loved the view over the water and mountains. The hosts are an amazing couple who made our stay relaxed and so enjoyable.

    We are used to sound so a pedestal fan would have been helpful to aid in our quality of sleep. This is very minor and the only thing we would suggest.

    The house and grounds were immaculate. We were so well looked after and made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. We had unexpected evening drinks and nibbles, a lovely treat. The breakfast was amazing, especially the home baked croissants and pancakes. The views from the house are breathtaking and you can very easily stare off into the distance for hours on end. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were fantastic, even had heated floors. Our hosts were very knowledgeable of the are and had maps to note suggests of spots to visit in the area specific to our needs.

    I didn't like I couldn't stay longer! The place is awesome.

    Loved the breakfast menu, I wish I was staying longer to try everything on the menu. It will be very hard to find a place in Te Anau that can top the view that High Ley's offer!

    We had the most amazing experience staying here. The hosts Sarah and John go above and beyond! Our room was immaculate, the view is out of this world, the living area was such a beautiful space for guests to enjoy. The place is luxury and quality through out. There is nothing they haven't thought of. Comfortable beds, quality linen, heated flooring in the bathroom. Breakfast is excellent with a lovely menu to choose from. In the evening we enjoyed a glass of wine, you can also order by the bottle and order an amazing grazing platter. We absolutely loved our time here. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    High Standard at High Leys

    On our 6 weeks NZL Trip High Leys Lodge will loom large as the best place we were lucky enough to stay in. And we stayed in some wonderful places! The location, facilities and provisions were second to none. To top it off, the welcome and service from Sarah was next level. We felt that she knew all our wishes before !could be our best mate... ! TeAnau itself is a stunning location - and sadly, we only had three nights there - but it was the hospitality of John and Sarah that has made us resolute that we will return... even though we are from Germany a good nearly 24 hours away via a couple of flights and a drive! But this place is that special to come back - just because I totally forgot to tune the guitar 🎸
