The Beech Bach
Beautiful home, right on the river, stunning trees and gardens. very responsive host. Fully stocked kitchen, very clean oven. incredible stay.

Villa on the Lake
Beautiful location in a really quaint town. You can walk across the road and start walking on a beautiful trail around the lake.

Tiny Piece of Paradise - Te Anau Tiny House
Very lovely place, with great scenery. Awesome and comfortable stay

Freestone Cabin
This spot is totally stunning, it was hard to leave. The cabins are the perfect amount of comfort and rustic. Jaclyn and Warren went above and beyond for us when we realized (on the day) we had booked the wrong weekend - they still fit us in and allowed for a very late check-in no fuss. The bath experience was divine - you can't get much better than sitting in a steaming hot bath while sipping beer and star gazing with epic mountain backdrops. We will definitely be back!

Manapouri - self catering sparkling clean
I spent five wonderful days at Ian and Sonya’s place and felt instantly at home. The Airbnb was spotless and cozy, and you can really tell that Sonya takes great care of it, cleaning everything herself. I was welcomed with a lovely breakfast, complete with honey that Ian and Sonya make themselves. Sonya gave me great advice on what to do during my stay in Manapouri, and I thoroughly enjoyed both the time spent outdoors and indoors. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb, and if I ever come back to New Zealand, I would love to stay here again.

Cedar 4 bedroom home TeAnau
Had a great stay at Dwayne’s home! He and Tina were very quick to respond, allowed us to checkin a little early as the home was ready. They also quickly got back to us the night before checkout when we asked to add an extra day to our stay. Very friendly and accommodating! The house was even more spacious than it showed in the photos. Our four kids were happy to spread out and it was so nice to have the three bathrooms as well. Easy to find the home and it was a great Te Anau base location for our trips to Milford, Doubtful and the Glowworm Caves. Nice walk to the lake and very close walk to the town center. Several restaurants were open even in June, but the kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals at home. Helpful to have washer/dryer available after the kids had some river exploring adventures. Played cards and monopoly (provided) several evenings. The stars were beautiful from the back porch! Highly recommend! We hope to come visit and stay again!

Brucies Hideaway
Beautiful place with nice surroundings, close to the the lake. Convenient drive to town Center with many restaurants, supermarket nearby. Thank you for hosting us.

All About Manapouri
Manapouri is a small town situated on the edge of Lake Manapouri in the stunning region of Fiordland on New Zealand’s South Island. Fiordland covers nearly 5,000 square miles of wilderness and is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise with lakes, mountains, and miles of unspoiled land. This mountain town is the perfect jumping off point for exploring the region, as a number of hiking trails start near Manapouri. The area also connects with Doubtful Sound, which is the deepest of New Zealand’s fjords, so many fjord cruises are arranged from Manapouri.
With a population of only 300, the town of Manapouri is a tiny gem that offers several restaurants, pubs, and cafes, many of which are found along Lake Manapouri, the second deepest lake in the country.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Manapouri
Manapouri’s location in the southern hemisphere means that its seasons are opposite from North America. Generally, the best months to visit are the summer months of December to February, when you’ll experience long days, mild temperatures, an annual summer music festival and a mountain biking competition. Fall (March to June) and spring (September to December) bring cool daytime temperatures, which make these seasons perfect for exploring the hiking trails in the area. In October, an annual fishing competition in Fiordland draws anglers from throughout the region. In March there’s also a kayak, mountain biking, and running event that offers competition events for all levels. Winter, from June to August, brings dry days with blue skies and cool, but not too cold, temperatures.
