    The house is just a house. If you are accustomed to B&Bs located in cottages or manors with character or interesting history, that's not this place. It's just a place to stay, but it's situated on a nice piece of property surrounded by farmland with easy access to the town.

    Clean, comfortable and super nice proprietors.

    Just a tip: maybe the room can be a bit more sound proof.

    The place felt very luxurious. Everything was of high quality. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Bathroom was also nice. Jeff is an amazing, friendly host. We loved talking to him in the kitchen when he made breakfast.The to-go breakfast provided the other day was also very good and generous. And Eddie and Frenkie where lovely as well!

    We loved everything about our stay at Alpine Rock. Jeff and Jan looked after us as if we were family - they packed us a big breakfast for our early morning trip to Milford Sound, and Jeff gave us a beer to go with our takeaway pizza on our return! It was such a lovely homely atmosphere. Highly recommended

    We had a wonderful stay at the Alpine Rock B&B in Te Anau and would highly recommend it. The rooms were exactly as described and extremely clean! Each room has a small fridge with a small freezer (fit two freezer packs). The bed was very comfy and included both softer and harder pillows, as well as an extra blanket and a heated mattress pad, which would be awesome in colder weather. We stayed in the Wisteria room, which has a private bathroom (not ensuite) across the hall--it's actually a separate toilet room, and then a room with a shower, a soaking tub (bath salts provided) and a sink. The Rose suite has an ensuite bathroom. Jeff's breakfasts were delicious! He made homemade yogurt and fresh croissants each morning, as well as providing various fresh fruit, two types of granola, juice & water, tea and coffee, jams and butter. SO yummy! Jan and Jeff met us when we arrived and showed us around. They were available if we had questions, but otherwise, gave us our privacy. They were great at recommending restaurants and Jeff even rinsed our rental car when we asked if there was a car wash in town--talk about "going above and beyond". The location was great for trips to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Lord of the Rings filming locations, or hiking & walking. We would highly recommend Alpine Rock B&B!

    Some minor internet connection issues that they are already aware of, by no means this was any problem for us.

    Alpine Rock is a cozy and quiet house surrounded in nature, just a 5-minute drive from Te Anau. While Jeff and Jan were excellent hosts, and we truly enjoyed meeting them, Eddie stole the show as the best host, making sure we could pet him to our hearts’ content. Breakfast was exceptional—healthy, delicious, and served right on schedule. Our stay at Alpine Rock was heartwarming, and we’ll definitely return if we are ever in Te Anau again.

    While a little bit outside of the nearby town, it was close enough to be very convenient to restaurants & shops, while being far enough away to be quiet and in a beautiful, natural setting. Jeff and Jan were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating. The room and shared areas were comfortable and inviting, the hot tub was a huge plus! We had freshly baked croissants every morning as part of a simple, yet delicious continental breakfast.

    Jeff and Jan were superb hosts. We loved the attention to detail and quality that they put into their place. They obviously love it very much and that shows! We especially enjoyed sitting on the veranda, taking in the stunning views, enjoying the tea and cake, and the great company of Jeff (and Eddie and Frankie the dog and cat!) 10/10 would recommend!

    Jeff and Jan are excellent hosts. We enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room chatting. We were treated like family. They provided excellent advise on restaurants and other insights.

    Nice and quiet place outside the city. Very fancy place close to the nature and animals. Neighbors has horses! I loved the privacy and really nice rooms with fireplace, hot hot tub, great coffee, family cat and dog and off course Jan & Jeff, was so so lovely that after 4 nights there I felt as I was leaving from my parents hose. I have been traveled a lot, but this house vibe and the people there was something different. Something for me to feel like I was at home.
