Zeb and Janice were so accommodating, gave us pointers and directions, WIFI, even lend us their book about the birds of NZ. The house was really clean and comfortable. There was a laundry machine, TV, magazines, dining table, spotless sink, fridge, etc. I even found a box filled with children's toys and books. The views from the house were amazing! I did a walk and found out that we are neighbors with 2 horses, 2 alpacas, a herd of sheep, and cows. There's a parking space, a beautiful porch outside where you can view the mountains. It was a great decision to stay here as we traveled to Doubtful Sound and Te Anau during the trip.

Room tip: 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.

We stayed in one of the two 2 bedroomed cottages on Zeb and Janice's farmlet. They were spotlessly clean, as new, and had everything one needed. They weren't too close to the house but close enough if you needed anything. It was great to have a generous 500mb free wifi x 2 & more if one needed it. (More generous than all other places we'd stayed on our Sth Is trip). The full kitchen and laundry were fantastic. Perfect for a family, group, or a couple. Views across the paddocks to the snow capped mountains are wonderful. Handy to Manapouri, Te Anau, Kepler. Ideal for before and after one of the great walks. Plenty of space to get gear clean and dry after the many activities in the area ( & an outside clothes line which us kiwis love). Well done Zeb and Janice for your very friendly welcome, knowledge & advice when we arrived, and fantastic presentation of your cottages. Proud to be a kiwi!

Stunning Views in a great location for access to Manapouri or even the close by Te Anau attractions. We stayed just the one night in preparation for our cruise of Doubtful sound. Great hosts - remember to bring your breakfast supplies. The cottage has everything you need to prepare your feast.

We decided on the 8am Doubtful Sound cruise, so it was practical to stay somewhere nearby instead of Te Anau (20 mins away). And after 1 week traveling, it's good to be able to do your laundry. The cottage has 2 rooms (1 with queen beds do another with 2 single beds) and shared bathroom, kitchen & cooking utensils, dinning table seats 4, living room - all well planned, nice and clean. Everything you need while traveling. Wish all the places we stayed was like this one! Will return if we get the chance.

Beautifully appointed and situated cottages with everything you could possibly need, including washing machine and portions of powder, air conditioning, wi-fi in generous amounts, fantastic views with deer in the paddock next door keeping us entertained. Quiet and peaceful, easy to find, convenient to Manapuri. And daily housekeeping as required.
