This is a unique little house where considerable thought has been put into every detail. The rooms are small but charming. Staying in Manapouri is a great way to avoid the tourist throng in Te Anau and it’s only a 15-minute drive away. Comfy beds, very quiet location. Our only problem was the lock box: two sources had different codes and we were trying what must be the old code; once we discovered the second code, all went swimmingly. Nice, too, to have 2 pm checkin and 11 am checkout. Highly recommended!

Beyond our expectations!
After spending three weeks traveling the south island with family we landed at Manapouri and the Welcome Home Cottage for our last couple of nights before heading home to Oregon. We needed this quiet spot to regroup, eat meals together, and rest. It was charming too! Fraser's beach was a perfect sunset farewell! We did not venture to Doubtful Sound because of weather but we went fishing and enjoyed our time heaps and heaps! Thank you for providing the feeling of home for this weary family. We love New Zealand, and especially the Welcome Home Cottage. Don't miss the Wee Book Store around the corner!

Wonderful Manapouri
Cottage was great, lots of character. Clean and tidy, obviously well loved by the owners. Great location to explore the wider Fiordland & Southland regions. We were sad to leave

The cottage is smallish and older style, but we absolutely loved it. Manapouri itself is very quiet, but within easy drive to Te Anau where there is food and shopping. There are a couple of food outlets in Manapouri itself and the people there are wonderful, but don't expect a huge range of choices. It's an incredibly beautiful spot and a very cosy and welcoming cottage.

We encountered a snap snow storm at Manapouri and could not have been cosier than in Welcome Home Cottage. Beautifully and lovingly decked out with an open fire and heaters in bedrooms.
