The property is clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for Doubtful sound trips. Amenities include everything that one needs. Geraldine communicated quickly when I had questions. Our only negative comment is that the listing clearly states there are two bathrooms. That is incorrect; there is one bathroom.

This was a beautiful unit with everything we needed. Quiet, close to a cafe, great to access tours and sights, and Milford sound was amazing! I loved the decor, comfy bed, and I’d come back if we lived in this gorgeous country!

Home away from home
Enjoyed 4 nights here. Geraldine has supplied the apartment with everything we needed and then some. The bed was super comfortable, the neighborhood very quiet, the location to the lake trail very convenient and the laundry right in the apt was so helpful. We had the pleasure of meeting Geraldine and her husband and they were very hospitable. I highly recommend this place.

Perfect stay
We needed nothing. Grateful for coffee and ice cube trays! There was not an ice tray to be found at the other 4 places we have stayed. Lovely soaps and shampoos and towels.Please update the WiFi password on the wall. It took us a long time to realize the password in the guest book was different. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely abode.

Peaceful Manapouri
We enjoyed walking down to the lake & relaxing.
A great location to visit Milford Sound & Te Anua! The beds were comfy. We slept well!
We were happy that the location was back from the main roadway. We didn’t hear the traffic.
We chose this property because we knew we would need to do laundry part-way through our trip. The unit was clean and spacious and comfortable. The owner created a very useful binder of information on the surrounding area. We had a nice stay.

Really enjoyed our time in Manapouri. The Church Pub was a great place to sit and soak up the sun while surrounded by mountains.
