loctation is perfect, but the facilities have not been updated since the 70ties, which is a bit a shame given the location.

AMAZING STAY!! I do not have enough Accolades to express how much we enjoyed our stay. If you are going to Doubtful Sound... THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! You will be sleeping before the rest of the boat tour is 1/2 way back to their hotel! This place is middle of Alpaca Farm, unit/building is a very private but a part of a larger barn/storage structure. Unit was large and immaculate. There is fridge cooktop microwave pots pans dishwasher plates silverware. Also, a Washer and Dryer which we found EXTREEMLY handy for middle of out 3-week NZ trip. Bed was very nice and we slept perfectly for our 3-night stay. There is a Jacuzzi 10 steps from the unit that was wonderful to use at night. We followed the owners written instructions to turn the water temp up and down before and after use. This practice will save owners monies hence, save you(who is reading this) keeping the rental rate down, Be mindful of Jacuzzis are expensive to run and upkeep. It is FANTASTIC owner have this enjoyable feature! I had great correspondence with the owner through Booking,com prior to our visit. However, owner was out of town the days we were there. There is a Lady(I do not recall her name) that tended to the Alpaca Farm while they were away. This Lady gave us tour of farm where you could pet and feed Alpacas. I can not say enough about the hospitality this lady gave us during our stay. She provided WONDERFULL tips about Doubtful, Milford sounds as well as great information about our travels to Wanaka and Mt Cook. She was such a delight to speak with she represents the owners wonderfully as a host! Owner recycles/filters rain water which was amazing. Water tastes like "nothing" simply the way water should taste, refreshing and cold right from tap. Far cry from any city water or well water. We filled all our water bottles before we left. DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!! It is stay and hospitality, we will forever remember on our NZ visit!

The historic aspect of this house. Later on we saw the original pic of the house in the visitor center of Doubtful Sound. Perfect location to spend the night before an early DS cruise.

We were excited about staying here but blown away by the reality. Brad and Breidi are just exceptional hosts - people who love people and love their life running Cabot Lodge, and it shows. There are stunning views from every room and all the around the property, which is a garden show all on its' own. There is everything you could ask for in a room, details I hadn't realized I'd missed until we found them here. There were fresh flowers, fruit and cookies every day, and a selection of local wines and beers in the room. Every time we arrived back at the property Brad came out to greet us and ask if there was anything we needed. Honestly, anything guests need or want has been thought about in advance, but they personalize everyone's experience anyway. We got detailed personalized advice for every day's adventures, with an additional notecard the day we left giving recommendations for our stopover in Queenstown. I had a major Amazon delivery problem with a book I'd ordered as a gift for my husband and Breidie jumped on it and had it solved in no time - then surprised me by gift wrapping the book and leaving it in our room. Lovely (and fabulous) canopies and drinks at 6, unbelievably great dinner at 7 from a Chef we thought they must have brought in from a big city. Brad's breakfasts were fabulous. Can't say enough. We already miss it --

Very nice, if dated in a clean and pleasant manner, river view/fishing enthusiast home. We took a boat tour of Doubtful Sound and walked from our property, via a nearby walkway, to the waterfront on Lake Manapouri from whence the tour commenced. Less than 200 meters. Well appointed kitchen.

Loved seeing the night sky in this dark sky preserve-adjacent hotel.

The common room was great, the kids' play area was excellent, and it was a comfortable stay!

We were able to upgrade from a very basic cabin ....to a unit with a bathroom and its own tv. This made our stay better.....as literally nothing to do in Manapouri but wait for our Cruise the next day. Beds were comfortable and electric blankets. Lovely big heat pump so toasty warm

Location was good, it was clean and comfortable. Very good place to stay.

Good location. Quiet.
