We stayed in the basic cabins and they were so cute! Very clean and cozy, there was a heater in the room so it was super nice! The bathrooms never felt too busy and were clean!

Right along the water with multiple paths around the grounds. Felt like a cool little community with many different travelers. ...

We loved the location of this cozy cottage in Manapouri. We were able to walk into the village easily and grab dinner and it was a short drive to Te Anau.
