Nice comfortable place. Lindsay is friendly and makes hot breakfast upon request. There are many options for custom freshly prepared hot breakfast. Walking distance to town center. House is right across from the lake.

If you are not a cat person, do not let the name drive you away. My husband, who is definitely not a cat person, imagined furniture covered with cat hair and cat paraphernalia everywhere! Not true! This is a perfectly normal B&B in a great location right across from the lake. The rooms are very quiet and comfortable. Lindsay is... More

In all honesty, I booked this place because I love cats. My husband made fun of me up until the very moment when we arrived. We were so pleasantly surprised! We were greeted by Lucy the cat, a cute white dog and the owner Lindsay. Lindsay is very friendly and he makes an excellent breakfast in the morning. Our room... More

This is a great, homely B&B and excellent value. We stayed in one of the rooms at the back. All perfectly good. Very comfortable bed. All the usual B&B options for breakfast come with a friendly style and helpful offers of info about Milford and Doubtful Sounds. (By the way, whether you do Milford Sound or not, do not miss... More

We really enjoyed coming home to a "home" with a very comfortable bed, a room with all the comforts of home and a wonderful cooked breakfast the following day. We would throughly reccommend Cats Whiskers B&B to our frends and family if they were visiting TeAnau. We also loved Lucy the cat, she made our stay even more special.

We stayed here for one night and I wouldn't stay here again. The hosts were not very welcoming. Actually, we walked in, the daugther(?) looked at us, asked us a question and said, "Whatever my mom will deal with you." Welcome to your vacation! The hosts were pretty stuffy and not very welcoming and had LOTS of rules. The room... More

We enjoyed our night in Te Anau before a Milford Sound cruise. Anne Marie and Lindsay were very helpful with suggestions of what cruise to book, movie to watch, what to see in Te Anau, where to eat and get groceries, etc. The location, across from the lake, is very convenient to town. Our room was plenty spacious for our... More

We stayed at The Cat's Whiskers for three nights while we explored this part of NZ and found it to be a very pleasant base from which to travel. Excursions to both Doubtful and Milford Sounds as well as a hike to Key Summit on the Milford Road were convenient from this location. This B&B has the feel of a... More

Stayed at the Cats Whiskers in the ‘Te Anau Room’ with lake view for 3-nights January 09. It’s a first class B&B with great hosts Anne-Marie and Lyndsay. They could have not been more helpful from the day we booked 9-months earlier. They gave us the best directions to get there from Invercargill, via the most interesting and scenic route,... More
