The house is an older property in a quiet, established neighborhood. It is very clean and well appointed, everything worked as it should, and we were very comfortable there. Manapouri is a small community, which we preferred over all the tourism in Te Anou. We were quite happy to make the 15 min commute up to join in the fun or go out to eat, and then return to the calm of Manapouri when we were done. Lake Manapouri is just lovely! ##### Marcia H.

Hosts were lovely and all instructions made in advance which were much appreciated. At other places, last minute instructions were difficult as we were doing a lot of travelling and didn’t get a chance to look at messages or emails until we reach the property, sometimes in the evening and in the dark. ##### Than Than N.
