My friend and I stayed in Manapouri for 2 nights as part of our 2 week exploration of the South Island. We booked a Doubtful Sound tour and only realized when we got to Glendale that the place is literally a 3 minute walk to where the cruise departed. The place itself was awesome, really amazing views of the lake and a great setup. We also enjoyed reading about the fascinating family history. Thanks Janice!
