Cannot rave about this place enough. Super relaxing, roomy, warm, stylish and super clean. Louise and Joel are fantastic hosts and have obviously put a lot of thought into “detail”, especially in their awesome little styling touches. They anticipate all needs with all their amenities ... including toys and books for young children and an adult bookcase as well! Their communication is awesome as well. The shower has awesome pressure and bathroom is very clean and modern. Towels are very plush and super soft. All of the bedrooms are roomy but the master is wonderfully huge. All the beds including the bunk beds are super comfy and have quality linen. All in all the place just has a lovely feel about it . Instantly warm and inviting and a pleasure to lay around in during the day or return to after a day of excursions. The local cafe/dairy does great breakfasts and coffees and the local restaurant/bar does great meals. Both of these and the beautiful lake front are all within an easy 5 min walk. Manapouri is really laid back and that is the beauty of the location if you just want to get away and wind down and relax but with Te Anau only a 15-20 min drive away if you want a bit more action. We had a fantastic week long stay thank you Joel and Louise and will definitely be back again and again .
