Family hotels and homes in Manapouri

Very spacious, good feel, clean, nice area. Well equipped kitchen. We'd love to stay again.

Everything was amazing. Brad and Breidi were phenomenal hosts that looked after every need we had. One of the best travel experiences ever.

AMAZING STAY!! I do not have enough Accolades to express how much we enjoyed our stay. If you are going to Doubtful Sound... THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! You will be sleeping before the rest of the boat tour is 1/2 way back to their hotel! This place is middle of Alpaca Farm, unit/building is a very private but a part of a larger barn/storage structure. Unit was large and immaculate. There is fridge cooktop microwave pots pans dishwasher plates silverware. Also, a Washer and Dryer which we found EXTREEMLY handy for middle of out 3-week NZ trip. Bed was very nice and we slept perfectly for our 3-night stay. There is a Jacuzzi 10 steps from the unit that was wonderful to use at night. We followed the owners written instructions to turn the water temp up and down before and after use. This practice will save owners monies hence, save you(who is reading this) keeping the rental rate down, Be mindful of Jacuzzis are expensive to run and upkeep. It is FANTASTIC owner have this enjoyable feature! I had great correspondence with the owner through Booking,com prior to our visit. However, owner was out of town the days we were there. There is a Lady(I do not recall her name) that tended to the Alpaca Farm while they were away. This Lady gave us tour of farm where you could pet and feed Alpacas. I can not say enough about the hospitality this lady gave us during our stay. She provided WONDERFULL tips about Doubtful, Milford sounds as well as great information about our travels to Wanaka and Mt Cook. She was such a delight to speak with she represents the owners wonderfully as a host! Owner recycles/filters rain water which was amazing. Water tastes like "nothing" simply the way water should taste, refreshing and cold right from tap. Far cry from any city water or well water. We filled all our water bottles before we left. DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!! It is stay and hospitality, we will forever remember on our NZ visit!

Location was good

The location was a few blocks off the main street, so it was nice and quiet. The room was spacious and I liked that I could isolate the bedroom. The heat pump was great to keep the rooms warm during this winter stay. Parking was very convenient to load and unload.

The room was large and comfortable with a view of the lake in the distance. It was quiet and had reliable Wi-Fi. Breakfasts were amazing! Staff was friendly. And one of my favorite things was the library common area. It had a fireplace and a constant supply of free drinks and pastries. Plus, they had converted an old confessional into a dumb waiter to send up the baggage. So fun!

Lots to do, fun meeting and feeding the animals, lots of activities, beautiful night skies, friendly hosts, fresh bread. What more could you ask for?

Nice view of the lake

New and clean
