Fiordland Escape

Fiordland Escape is a cozy 3-bd home in the charming village of Manapouri. Explore the breath-taking landscape of Fiordland National Park; day walks and Great Walks (Kepler, Routebourn, Milford), fishing, or take unforgettable excursions to Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound. Come home to relax on the deck with a bbq and a drink as you watch the sun dip behind the mountains or cozy up indoors with the crackling log burner. Fiordland Escape offers the perfect setting for your getaway.
Welcome to Fiordland Escape, your perfect getaway for an unforgettable holiday with friends or family! Nestled in Manapouri village in the heart of scenic Fiordland, our home offers everything you need for a cozy and comfortable stay.

Our brand new kitchen invites you to create culinary delights and share memorable moments with loved ones. It is fully equipped with all the essentials you need, including complimentary tea, coffee, oil, salt, and sugar.

Each of our generously sized bedrooms has cosy cotton sheets and warm feather and down duvets to ensure a snug night's sleep. The bunk bed room features a double-lower and single-upper bunk, perfect for accommodating families or groups. For your convenience, heaters and fans are provided in all bedrooms.

Step into our recently renovated bathroom and unwind in the extra-deep bath or rejuvenate under the invigorating mains pressure shower.

Stay connected with unlimited guest WiFi. Entertainment options include a TV complete with Freeview and Netflix, a selection of books and games suitable for guests of all ages. Perfect for a cosy night in beside a crackling fire. In the tv unit drawers and the bunk room cabinet there are an array of children's toys.

Step outside and breathe in the fresh air as you take in the beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Feel the warmth of the evening sun on your skin as you sip on a refreshing beverage. Our spacious deck is the perfect setting for enjoying alfresco dining, with a convenient BBQ grill ready to sizzle up your favourite meals. Whether you're sharing laughs with friends, enjoying a romantic dinner, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature, our deck is sure to be the highlight of your stay in the summer months. Fiordland is perfect for stargazing as there is very little light pollution, and if you are very lucky you might get to view the aurora australis, or the southern lights.

Outside, the expansive back garden provides a safe and secure area for relaxation and play, fully fenced for your peace of mind. Ample off-street parking is available for your convenience.

As an added bonus, guests are welcome to take advantage of the local community indoor pool, just a leisurely 10-minute stroll away. The pool is open from October to April. Upon arrival, you'll receive a key and detailed instructions on accessing this refreshing amenity.

Nice property in a quiet neighborhood.

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!

Very clean and spacious. 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.

Excellent property for visiting Manapouri and Doubtful Sound. Very happy to not have to get on a bus back to Queenstown or Te Anau after a long day visiting Doubtful Sound. The property was very nice inside and had fabulous heating. Nice dinners at the Church just down the road. I would stay here again.
