Julie’s place was ideal for meeting the boat for a Doubtful Sound cruise. The place was clean and the bed super comfortable. Manipouri lacks great dining options but the 20 min trip to Te Anau is easily managed. She and her husband offered great ideas for the cruise and local walks. The “kitchen” really just allows for cold prep of breakfast and a bit awkward washing up in the bathroom sink. It’s a bit of an awkward situation that her husband does some butchering in the garage right next to the unit. Hard to avoid viewing the carcasses. Would have been nice to know beforehand.
