"Great location, in a family friendly holiday park. Easy to catch up on laundry. Great location to access Doubtful Sound ferry adventure. Manapouri is very cute laid back town, super quiet. Nice cafe at the Church."
"The room was a suite and was rightly upgraded in terms of space and amenities in room compared to the day before . Cafeteria quality and variety of food were limited however ."
"Very clean, spacious , quiet, convenient place to stay to explore Te Anau and surrounding area. The bed was comfortable, appreciated the sitting area with comfortable chairs and large TV. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the well maintained garden"
"Pros; clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet, private, nice landscaping.
Cons: smelled musty, dated interior (or is it intentionally retro..)
A wonderful spot close to the lake at the end of a road. We only encountered staff as we were leaving. My wife and I stayed in one of the cottages before a Doubtful Sound cruise. It is a peaceful place."
"I stayed in one of the cabins for two nights in October 2026. It was lovely and clean, and quiet. I had everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Mike who I met on arrival. It’s is within walking distance to the shopping area and the lakefront. I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so myself."
