We encountered a snap snow storm at Manapouri and could not have been cosier than in Welcome Home Cottage. Beautifully and lovingly decked out with an open fire and heaters in bedrooms.

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.

Lovely place and right near the lake, really enjoyed our stay there.

The place is lovely. We arrived late and immediately put on the fire place. It feels like an old, loved home. It was clean and simple. Every room in the house was charming. The lake just moments away is just beautiful. Thank you.

This is a lovely place to stay and ticked a lot of boxes. The reason for the 4 star is that it was very warm during our stay and there was no way of cooling it down, no fan or cooling aircon option. Windows could not be left open due to the attraction of bugs after dusk (there are no fly screens in the living and kitchen areas). No extraction fan for the cooking area so had to suffice with opening a window to make do and having the bugs getting in! This was the only negative in what was a great little place to stay for several days. Obviously would not be an issue over Winter...

What a delightful place to stay. A proper little holiday house with exquisite views. Thank you so much for the use of your delightful place!
