Julie and her husband were excellent hosts during our two night stay, providing some snacks when we arrived and offering tips for hiking in Fiordlands National Park. Manapouri is a beautiful spot and the house is conveniently located views of the lake, walking to restaurants, and for catching the ferry to Doubtful Sound. The room was a bit snug for two of us given the luggage we had while on a longer trip but it was still a private and thoughtfully designed space.
