Relaxing Manapouri
We chose to stay out of Te Anau and were really pleased to find this fabulous property so close to the lake. The Church bar and restaurant is very friendly and good atmosphere. We decided to go on the Doubtful Sound trip with a 2minute walk to the RealNZ launch location which was so convenient. Manapouri is a lovely chilled out location and we would recommend staying here to explore the area.

A trip of a lifetime
Where to stay in this area was something I debated for a long time but this place was walking distance to doubtful sound departure point and an easy drive to Milford sound. The drive to the garden of the property makes it easy to come in to the property off view street and drive out. The house worked well for us. The stairs down to the toilet and shower room were steep but easily managed - even in the middle of the night. The apt had everything we needed and was clean on arrival. I would happily recommend to friends who might travel to NZ in the next year or two.

Beautiful Manapouri Stay
The property was as described very clean full of character and plenty of wine glasses. The beds are very comfortable and there is everything you need to cook a meal. The area is stunning. We were sorry we didn’t have longer to do more walks.

Should be called the Doubtful Sound house
Stayed to make Doubtful Sound trip. As close as sleeping in parking lot but so much better- and a 3 minute walk to boat. House was very comfortable and met all our needs.

Warn guests about the staircase to get to the bathroom & toilet
The only bathroom is downstairs and the staircase is unsafe for certain ages. You should screen people’s ages as for elderly people at night, it is shocking to try and navigate those stairs to get to the toilet. Also sleeps 6 but only 3 wine glasses which was tacky.

Stunning location and views
Beautiful bush and river views. Great location with everything we needed and great communication with the owner. As the owners mentioned there are a steep set of steps up to the front door and downstairs to the bathroom/toilet which could be tricky for people who struggle with steps.

Relaxing stay in Manapouri
This was a lovely relaxing place to stay. It was clean and tidy and the beds were very comfortable. The communication with the owner made it just perfect and the house had everything that you needed supplied and this added comfort to the stay. Good Tv and wifi too. Only a short walk to the cafe, shop, pub and petrol pumps. It was quiet and relaxing.

Warm and comfortable Manapouri
Best beds and sheets in a Book a Bach yet! Warm and comfy house, perfect before setting off for Doubtful Sound. Very steep steps both inside to the bathroom downstairs and outside as the entry to the house so don't book if that's a problem, but we found it perfect for our needs.

Holiday in Manapouri
We had a great time staying Glendale River view Manapouri , it was straight forward finding key and getting in, the house was exactly as described, it was clean and tidy, with comfortable beds, plenty of parking space, being located right beside a large car park we were concerned when we arrived that could be noisy with all the vehicles coming in and out of it, but it wasn't the case.

Beloved rustic home
This is an old family fishing home...rustic, clean, well supplied and the beds are fine. But...the bathroom is downstairs some rather precarious steps, the toilet is unheated(the sink and shower are in a separate heated room), and the hot water often went off in the midst of a shower or dishwashing....only to reappear a few minutes later. Two beds upstairs ( one behind a curtain) requiring a stairs negotiation during the night. The other bedroom is downstairs, and to go outside, one must open a garage door...or go upstairs and down again the outside steps. A bit funky for the price. Great location for Doubtful Sound trips.
