Built in 1936, and relocated to Te Anau from nearby Nightcaps, the former Sisters of Mercy Convent is positioned at the northern end of Te Anau Township, surrounded by breathtaking lake and mountain views. The location of the lodge is quiet and tranquil, yet only 15 minutes walk to the centre of Te Anau township. The Lodge has been lovingly restored with the interior still including the original oak paneling with rimu battening and polished timber floors and a number of unique architectural and design features of its era. You may wish to unwind in Te Anau Lodge's Library, with wonderful views of Lake Te Anau and the Murchison Mountains- home of the Takahe- one of New Zealand's rarest and most elusive birds. Tea and coffee are always available along with fresh cakes and home baking.
