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.

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.

Nice home with great renovations
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.

We loved our little holidays.
Since we saw the property for the first time online we loved the space and location. We were looking for a place to escape with the kids from our daily routines. Once we arrived we realised how lovely property it was. The communication with the owner was fantastic. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot.
