Kerry was a good host and was very helpful. The chalet was a good size and was well equipped. The continental breakfast was excellent and it was handy having a washing machine.
Manapouri is a very quiet area with a beautiful lake reaching out into Fiordland. Staying there was convenient for Milford Sound and it's also possible to do a trip to Doubtful Sound directly from Manapouri. We took a row boat out from the small harbour across the river and did a great walk in ancient unspoilt woodlands to a high point overlooking the lake.
Overall, very peaceful and highly recommended.
