Unrivalled mix of location, views, service&history

We stayed for two nights and chose the house because of its close proximity (less than 10 mins walk) to the departure point for the Doubtful Sound day trip. But there is much much more to the house than this - it is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed in. Firstly, the house itself and views from the house/gardens are stunning - we woke up to a view of a beautiful rainbow over green hills on the left and snow topped mountains in front. Secondly, Robert was the perfect host - going out of his way to give us additional information and help us out with anything and everything. And thirdly, the house has so much character and history - as does the host and his family …. we will leave it to them to share the stories with you and not spoil the surprise.

We loved our stay at Murrell's! Such a lovely countryside setting with a "grand view" indeed! Bob, the host, is exceptional and welcoming and taught us about the history of the property. We enjoyed our cup of tea and beer on the front porch and went a lovely walk from Murrell's down to the beach the first night. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. A short drive to Te Anau. Tasty breakfast in a lovely dining room setting. We checked out early after our second night to get to the Doubtful Sound cruise and Murrell's is literally right by the parking location to the cruise. We stayed 3 weeks in NZ and Murrell's was one of our most favourite places to stay!

Ideal for Doubtful Sound

Old fashioned guest house with very friendly owner. Walkable to boat for Doubtful Sound. Limited facilities locally unless you drive to Te Anau.

Pleasant place to stay

We enjoyed our stay here. Owner went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. It is a very old house but comfortable overall. Complimentary glass of wine with olives on arrival was nice. I would not have paid an extra $90 for the "lake view" room. It was more like a port hole view of the lake from one narrow window. There was no second 'privacy' curtain over this window so we had to keep the main curtain closed anyway so others could not see in. Breakfast was terrific. Great local ingredients and the hot breakfast was well cooked. Pleasant place to stay but value for money needs to be weighed up. We stayed on New Year's Eve so were not so concerned with price.
