where nature and comfort come together

The Croft sits on a land that was once part of a working farm, and that rural charm still lingers. Our paddocks, often dotted with grazing sheep, stretch out beneath the stunning backdrop of the Murchison mountains and Lake Te Anau.

Friendly hens, quirky runner ducks, and native birds bring the place to life — making it easy to slow down, soak in the mountain views, and feel right at home in nature

Tucked away for complete privacy, our self contained cottages are thoughtfully styled for comfort and warmth. Each one is filled with simple, considered touches — luxurious soft linens, quality furnishings, and large windows framing those unforgettable mountain views.

"My wife and I travelled to this beautiful corner of New Zealand after spending a week in and around Queenstown. It is the prefect location for those wishing to make the onward journey to Milford Sound. Conveniently situated just outside Te Anau, The Croft is beautiful rustic piece of heaven, where hosts Sonia and Cailin are always on hand to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. Fresh berries and freshly laid eggs for breakfast are a real treat as you sit on the patio taking on splendid rural lake and mountain views. The rooms are clean comfortable and all you need for a bed and breakfast!"

"This was our first visit to Te Anau and Sonia & Calin made us feel incredibly welcomed. The cottage was fantastic and beautifully laid out with lots of lovely little touches. Situated just outside of Te Anau it's an easy drive to get to the town and yet be completely in the quiet nature of this captivating area of New Zealand. I've already recommended The Croft B&B to many friends and fellow travelers, and can't wait to visit again."
