Come together after a day of adventure in the welcoming living area, where you can enjoy year-round comfort thanks to the handy heat pump and electric fireplace, and be entertained with complimentary WiFi and the TV with Freeview and DVD player. A basic, yet fully-equipped kitchen has all the essentials you need for your stay. Pour a hot coffee to kick start your day, or whip up a heart feast to fuel your next in this beautiful town and beyond. Rustlein Cottage has a wonderful outdoor area which boasts fresh blooms and a large flat and fully fenced lawn; the perfect space for the kids to play. Two-bedrooms comfortably sleep up to five guests here at Rustlein Cottage, making this an ideal spot for a couples getaway or potentially a family trip, with the additional bedding, to hit the trails and visit Fiordland. When it’s time to explore the incredible Te Anau surroundings, just a three-minute drive away you'll find the Real Journey's terminal for trips to Milford or Doubtful Sound as well as the Te Anau Glowworm Caves. Or for the brave, jump off the wharf into the lake. Fancy a bite to eat? Te Anau has an array of local cafes, restaurants, and bars just a 2-minute drive or 11-minute walk from Rustlein Cottage.
