We were pleased with the cabin in Manapouri. Kerri was there to greet us, and made sure we were set up for our stay. She provided detergent so we could take advantage of the washing machine, and there was a clothesline on the covered deck. Everything was clean and all kitchen and bathroom facilities well set up and in good working order. The sleep sofa was typically uncomfortable because of support bars, but adequate. Our stay was arranged so we could do the tour of Doubtful Sound, and the launching point was just a 5 minute walk up the road. It was very nice not to have to be up super early and drive a distance to arrive for our 8 am cruise. As mentioned in other reviews, a beautiful park and walk to the lake is just a short distance from the end of the driveway.
