The Bivy at Manapouri was the perfect place for my husband and me to stay during the three nights we spent in this part of the South Island of New Zealand. Carolyn was extremely helpful in communicating check in procedures, directions to the place and points of interest in the area. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations and local attractions. The Church was one block away and we ate there twice!! Very good food. Also, we had breakfast at the Cafe twice. You will love the Bivy and its convenient location and serene atmosphere.
