This place is located right in Manapouri with quick access to the water and the departure point for cruises to Doubtful Sound. Te Anau was a short 20 minutes down the road. It provides a decent "motel style" room and is fair value. The kitchenette is decent and the bathroom/shower is nice. The spot is probably best suited for a one or two night stay. In our case, we had planned a cruise for Doubtful Sound (the locals told us to do this one over Milford Sound ... and those who had done both seemed to agree). The cruise was amazing and this location was perfect for our one night stay and cruise prior to heading over to Queenstown.
