Manapouri Holiday Park

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the holiday park in Manapouri! This charming and quirky park is situated in a stunning location. When I visited during the winter, it was incredibly peaceful, and there was no one else around, making for a truly tranquil experience. The park is just a 3-minute drive to the ferry point for Doubtful Sound, which I highly recommend doing – it's a must-see! The facilities at the park were excellent, and everything was super neat and clean. Sam, one of the managers, even went out of his way to heat up the sauna just for us. Sam and Ana, the managers, are the sweetest and most welcoming people you could hope to meet. They were incredibly thoughtful about what we needed and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. They spent the evening with us outside by the campfire, where we could see the Milky Way – an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend staying here!!

A comfortable stay in a lovely front cabin, just before the weather cooled! We luckily did not need to use the electric blanket on the bed - as there was absolutely nowhere in range to plug it in!!! Cheap enough to book 3 nights but spend the middle one on the Doubtful Sound cruise! Kitchen and fridge for all your breakfast stuff! DO NOT EAT IN THE MOTEL NEXT DOOR - book The Church or drive into Te Anau!

This camp features a variety of overnighting options with powered and unpowered camper van sites, some built-out residences and some very basic cabins. The bathhouses were very well-maintained, as was the central kitchen dining area. Staff were friendly and helpful. The camp is quiet and low-key. If you love the van/camp life, Manapouri Holiday Park is an ideal location for visiting the Doubtful Sound/Milford Sound region of the Fjordlands National Park. You’re overlooking Lake Manapouri with nothing to block your view, and it’s an easy stroll to Fraser Beach. The village of Manapouri - with a few restaurants and coffee shops - is a comfortable number of steps away. The sunrises here are awe-inspiring, with the mountains of the South Alps just beyond the lake beckoning. Serious eats (and drink) are better obtained in the village of Te Anau, about 10 minutes drive north. It gets crowded there, though - a reason to stay this venue instead - so make sure you book your evening meal in advance. Overall high marks for this camp (assuming a camp is really your expectation and you’re spending most of your time on activities in this beautiful region. Just one thing: guys, can we put some hooks in the cabins to hang stuff up?

This would have to be our favourite camping ground in the South Island. Both powered and non powered sites have great views and beautiful trees. Cool wee cabins dotted about. The owner was brilliant. The amenities were great. Just a lovely, relaxing spot!

Localização extraordinária, boas instalações com todos os serviços necessários, aconselho os caravanistas a abastecerem em Questonw ou no caminho pois a oferta é reduzida. O lago mesmo em frente é ótimo para um mergulho e as vistas deslunbrantes
