Fiordland Escape

Manapouri is the perfect base for exploring Fiordland. It is the gateway to Doubtful Sound and the Kepler track, with Milford Sound a beautiful scenic drive away. There is renowned fly fishing, hunting and tramping on the doorstep.

Spend the day exploring (bush walks, lake edge, local restaurants and Doubtful Sound departure point are all within a 10 min walk) and come home to a warm soak in the new bathroom. Then toast summer nights with a drink on the deck lounge sweet watching the mountains or snuggle down inside on the large cosy couch by the log burner (firewood supplied).
There is a new TV, unlimited guest WiFi, and a selection of books and games.

The kitchen is older but fully equipped, including some basic food items such as tea, coffee, oil, salt and sugar. The new bathroom has an extra-deep bath and mains pressure shower. The bedrooms have cotton sheets and duck feather and down duvets to keep you warm on cold nights. The bunk bed room has a double-lower and single-upper bunk. Heaters are available in the bedrooms.

The large back garden is fully fenced and there is plenty of space for off street parking.

There is a local community heated indoor pool a 10 minute walk away which you may use. You will be given a key and instructions on how to access the pool should you wish to use it.

Please note that Manapouri only has a small store which sells basic food items; you can either eat at the local restaurants, bring your own supplies or go to the supermarket in Te Anau, a 15-20 minute drive away.

We had a wonderful stay in a house that shows love and care. Big rooms, all amenities and less than 500m to the pub or beach.

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.
