We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed this wonderful place. We had a lovely room with a picture window which overlooked the beautiful lake. Janice is a very friendly host with very high standards; her home is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. She enjoys sharing her wealth of knowledge about the area and will help you book trips which are... More

Like others who have reviewed Cathedral Peaks we very much enjoyed our stay. We had one of the downstairs rooms looking over the lake which was lovely. Janice had added thoughtful touches such as fruit juice, fruit and chocolates and an assortment of teas and coffee. The bathroom had lovely lavendar soap, body lotion etc and a towel warmer which...

I think muffins are great to eat at any time of the day. The 32 inch TVs in the down stairs rooms will make TV viewing a lot more enjoyable. I love the view from the top of the Circle Track but yes its a bit of a walk. I am happy you enjoyed your stay. Janice More

The upstairs room has a lovely view of the lake and the Hunter Mountain Range and quite different from the down stairs rooms. The 7am cruise does make for an early start but well worth the effort. I 'm pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Janice More

We stayed just one night before an overnight trip to Doubtful Sound. Janice has a lovely home which is impeccably clean and maintained to a high standard. She has taken great care with the rooms (snacks, assorted teas, coffee, complementary juice), the bathroom (dressing gowns, ironing board, extra towels), etc. The breakfast was excellent and Janice took pains to ensure...

The only reason one goes to Manapouri is for the wonderful fjord lands, mountains, lakes and walks and scenery. If this B&B was anywhere else you would not give it a second look. We thought it was over priced - simply taking advantage of the location. Janice is a strong character and I think you either fit in or you... More

Janice does a superb job of Inviting you into her B&B. The downstairs rooms are fantastic, with everything you need. They also have a wonderful view of Lake Manapouri. The only place to eat in Manapuri is the pub just up the road, the food is average, but the service is good enough. Janice does an amazing breakfast the next... More
