This must have been one of our nicest places to stay at while traveling in NZ! Hans and Lyn really understand how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The house is very new, spotless clean and very comfy and had every detail you need. And I won't even start on the precious view... Best part for our kids was the farm with all the animals that could be touched and played with. Very easy going. Just like our hosts - it was a pleasure talking to Hans. So if you have any questions or want to know about the area you have a very friendly and knowing host. If you want to stay private that is also possible as Hans and Lyn are very respectful and let you keep to yourself if that is your wish. Manapouri has great things to do - even apart of the Doubtful Sound which of course is very beautiful. But it is a good starting place for many activities and it s quite close to Te Anau as well. We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and would wish to return!
