This is the perfect place to stay if you're doing any tours on doubtful sound or lake Manapouri since it's walking distance to the wharf. We were doing an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound and really appreciated having a place nearby to leave from and come back to when we were tired. We were trying to get some washing done in the middle of our holiday and our host kindly brought it in from the line outside while we were on the cruise, so I think it's fair to say they go above and beyond.
