First rate. Some items freshly baked and served hot, straight out of the oven.

A gorgeous old house, full of history of the area and in a stunning location! A very warm welcome from the friendly hosts with comfortable, spacious room and excellent breakfast included. Easy walk to Pearl harbour for boat trips, to local pub and cafe and lovely walks.

We liked everything about Murrells Grand View House! Okay, the shower water pressure was a bit weak, but the house was built in the 1880's! Rob and his wife were fantastic hosts and their family home is stunning. The breakfast was perfect. Rob took our order and Philippa prepared it and we dined with other guests, sharing stories about our travels. We were taking a boat to Doubtful Sound for the overnight excursion and Rob and Philippa's place is perfectly situated. Rob said we could park our car with them overnight so we wouldn't have to worry about its safety. The walk to the harbor is about 300 feet so we're talking ultra convenient!

Breakfasts were excellent and the hosts were always ready to offer wine and beer refreshments to order. The drawback is the lack of dining in Manapouri. We booked at the only eatery ( The Church) the first night, through the host and noticed it wasn’t full. But we thought we would support the Travelling Chippy the second night and go back to the Church if all else failed. The Church h was full and the Chippy never turned up so we had to do a 40km round trip for bread and cheese from the supermarket in TeAnau. Perhaps the hosts could consider offering a cold picnic box on these occasions?

The old world charm. V comfortable, clean and well furnished. Phillips was really helpful all the way through the booking process, particularly when we had a booking problem.

A small fridge would be convenient, but Robert provided a box with cool packs. One window with a net against mosqitoes/sandflies would be the cherry on top of the cake (but insect repellent was provided).

Ideal location for a trip into the Doubtful Sound, just a 10 minute walk from Pearl Harbour - and with a great view over lake Manapouri. Robert organized the booking of the RealNZ trip for us, and Philippa made us a very early and most delicious breakfast with fresh berries, bacon and eggs in their lovely historic B&B. We had sunny weather, so we could even go for a refreshing swim in Lake Manapouri. The Church is a nice pub just around the corner and Te Anau, with more activities, shops and restaurants, is a 20 minute drive away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Lovely historic house, we were welcomed by Rob and very well looked after by him and his wife Phillipa. Food choices close by are a little bit limited. But the travelling chippy is very good and we would recommend it.

A lovely place to stay with lots of history and character. Comfortable rooms, great breakfast, pub with food across the road and only a short walk to the harbour for Doubtful Sound cruises. From the moment we were greeted by Rob and welcomed with tea and home made cake on the verandah this was a delightful stay.

A beautiful grand old home just steps from the lake and within walking distance of the Church Pub. Stunning views, exceptional hospitality, and amazing hosts—Rob and Philippa. Philippa is a fantastic cook, and Rob’s sense of humour is sure to keep you smiling!

Enjoyed my stay here thoroughly. Ideal location if you’re intending to go on a Doubtful Sound trip (as it’s a 2 minute drive round the corner). Hosts were very gracious and made you feel at ease in their property. Room was spacious and immaculate. Highly recommend this property!

An exceptionally friendly welcome and the finest view in the region from a family and house that have been welcoming visitors to Manapouri for generations. Our stay made the perfect base for a journey to Doubtful Sound.
