We enjoyed Shaun's cottage in a tranquil setting at the end of the lane in Manapouri. Short walk to local pub and Doubtful Sound departure wharf. Quiet, peaceful and great place to chill out on the deck where you can have a barbie and a few beers. Everything was clean and comfortable and kitchen very well stocked.
Local birdsong in the morning from the large garden.
We did not meet Shaun but communication was speedy and access no problem.
We recommend Shaun's place for a few days away from the main tourist areas.
