We absolutely loved the Bivy. Some things that surprised us - the Bivy is right across the street from Frasier Beach, which is a gorgeous spot for lunch, photography, enjoying sunsets, etc. The location was really amazing and better than expected. You can walk out of the door and have the best views in Manapouri or be at the general store or a local bar/pub in about a minute. Everything is really close and convenient. The kitchen set up was good for cooking. The bed was really comfortable. We recommend this home, it's great.
