Peaceful location!

Location was perfect for our stay in area and trip to Milford Sound. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and eating on patio. I also enjoy the swing on the patio! Thanks for a great stay!

Nice property in a quiet neighborhood.

The house is an older property in a quiet, established neighborhood. It is very clean and well appointed, everything worked as it should, and we were very comfortable there. Manapouri is a small community, which we preferred over all the tourism in Te Anou. We were quite happy to make the 15 min commute up to join in the fun or go out to eat, and then return to the calm of Manapouri when we were done. Lake Manapouri is just lovely!

Review

Very clean and spacious. Hosts were lovely and all instructions made in advance which were much appreciated. At other places, last minute instructions were difficult as we were doing a lot of travelling and didn’t get a chance to look at messages or emails until we reach the property, sometimes in the evening and in the dark.

Nice home with great renovations

Excellent property for visiting Manapouri and Doubtful Sound. Very happy to not have to get on a bus back to Queenstown or Te Anau after a long day visiting Doubtful Sound. The property was very nice inside and had fabulous heating. Nice dinners at the Church just down the road. I would stay here again.

We loved our little holidays.

Since we saw the property for the first time online we loved the space and location. We were looking for a place to escape with the kids from our daily routines. Once we arrived we realised how lovely property it was. The communication with the owner was fantastic. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot.
