About Murrells Grand View House

We are located in Manapouri, just 5 minutes' walk to the departure point for Doubtful Sound trips and a stunning 2.5 hour drive to Milford Sound. Murrells Grand View House is the perfect place from which to explore the Fiordland National Park, Te Anau and many beautiful walking tracks. Murrells Grand View House was built in 1889 to provide accommodation for the first tourists to the area. The Murrell family were explorers, guides and tourism hosts in the early pioneering days of Fiordland. The house has continued to be operated as accommodation since 1889 by the Murrell family making it the oldest of its kind in New Zealand and a unique and historic place to stay. Robert (4th generation) and Philippa Murrell are your hosts and will ensure that your stay is memorable. They are happy to help with information and activity bookings.
We have four spacious ensuite rooms with views to the lake, mountains or garden. The veranda is a popular place for our guests to enjoy the magnificent uninterrupted views of Lake Manapouri and the mountains beyond.
