The cottages are both fully self-contained, serviced and sit right on the edge of Fiordland National Park. We are only a 2 minute drive away from the picturesque township of Manapouri which sits on the shores of beautiful Lake Manapouri. Manapouri is complete with a store, Post Office, two cafes, a restaurant and hotel and is a great place to relax and enjoy one of New Zealand's most spectacular lakes.

Loved our cottage
We stayed one night before our overnight doubtful sound cruise and loved everything about the cottage. I wish we had come from Queenstown sooner and stayed here longer. The cottage is spotlessly clean, the bed is comfortable with fresh pillows, sheets, everything is immaculate.…

Hi Ian, Apologies for the lack of response - I have just found your review now. Thank you so much for such a glowing review - we are happy that you had a pleasant stay in Manapouri. Certainly my pick of places if you want some where off the beaten pathway that generally leads to a stay in Te Anau. Unfortunately much as we would also love to try to keep the place a secret hideaway I think the secret about Manapouri has got out! It was lovely to meet you both and thanks again for finding us and staying at the cottages. Take care, Jo

"Everything is tip top"
"Both cottages are almost exactly the same, however the "Stella Burn" cottage is disability accessible."
"Well worth the drive to this immaculate rural property."
"choose the rooms at the front with the King size bed, You can view the mountains and the farm. The other bedroom has two singled beds."
"both cottages seemed similar from the outside. Awe Burn (ours) had 2 bedrooms."
