We stayed at the Bivy for a few nights on our honeymoon trip. It was spectacularly clean and spacious and met our needs wonderfully. We cooked most of our food in the apartment and the kitchen was well equipped to prepare basic meals. There is not much immediately surrounding in Manapouri; however, it was a great launching pad to the Kepler track, Te Anau, and Milford Sound. It was about a 20 minute drive into Te Anau where most grocery and cafe options were, but we didn’t mind as the scenery was beautiful. Would highly recommend staying here for your Fiordland adventures.
