welcome to beautiful views, home comforts

Misty Mountain eco-friendly cottage is secluded and privately situated in a woodland setting on a 50 acre farm. With magnificent views of the mountains in Fiordland National Park, and Home Creek is just a few metres from the deck, it is truly the perfect place to rest and relax.

Lake Manapouri is just 3km away, the start of your Manapouri-Doubtful Sound experience and we are well placed for trips to Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park. There are many walking tracks nearby of varying degrees of difficulty, whatever your fitness level you will find something to suit and be able to experience hiking in Fiordland from the popular tracks to those that are used by few.

Your hosts are Hunter and Claire Shaw who both have a wealth of knowledge about the local area, its history, and the flora and fauna of the surrounding park, not to mention the numerous places to visit.

Hunter is a professional guide with interpretation being his specialty and has lived in the area for over 50 years. All Hunter’s working life has been involved in the National Park - in the early years with wild deer hunting and more recently leading trips through the World Heritage forests of Fiordland.

Hunter is also a qualified massage therapist, so why not relax even more during your stay and book in for a massage.

Claire is the local Kindergarten teacher, so families are welcome. She fully understands the strains of traveling with young children.
Come and enjoy our hospitality and base your stay in Fiordland with us.

and so much more
