The Bivy is just as the photos, positioned on the waterfront (hidden by trees) but just cross the the road there are lake walks, it’s positioned in the sleepy little village of Manapouri. Easy walk to the harbour for doubtful sound cruises. It is immaculately furnished and spotlessly clean, with everything you need for a few nights in fjordland, heating was also appreciated as we happened to be there when a major summer storm hit the area and isolated us. Little store nearby (which didn’t have much in, but did have a few essentials you may have forgotten). And a couple of restaurants within walking distance which we didn’t try as we were hibernating from the rain. Carolyn, our host was always on hand to advise us when we got isolated.
