    When you arrive and realise this is exactly the kind of place you’ve always wanted to try, you know you’re in for something special. We were warmly welcomed, with everything explained to us — including a heads-up about road conditions for the next...

    Very nice accommodation quite close to the departure point for doubtful sound cruise. The rooms were clean and facilities were good. The WiFi worked very well also.

    The location was so peaceful! A true getaway... We stayed in the dorm-style beds, and it was such a great value. The property is not much, but the beauty is in the simplicity.

    Amazing, cozy vibes. Owners are super friendly. Close to beach and has little phone booth library.

    We were able to upgrade from a very basic cabin ....to a unit with a bathroom and its own tv. This made our stay better.....as literally nothing to do in Manapouri but wait for our Cruise the next day. Beds were comfortable and electric blankets....
