Awesome place if you’re out these ways. Philippa and Rob are amazing hosts. We got a garden view room with a lovely view. Convenient location. The hosts let us park at theirs while we were on the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. Breakfast was included and it was a clocked breakfast. Will definitely stay again

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

4/10 Fair

Unverschämt TEUER, Zimmer sind das Geld nicht Wert

Murrell's Grand View House ist ein Bed & Breakfast in der 5ten Generation - dies kommt dem Service zum Vorteil (wir hatten nur Kontakt mit Rob - sein Frühstückangebot ist super und er ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit) - hat aber leider Auswirkungen auf das Haus (sehr alt!) und insbesondere die Zimmer: Wir fanden unser Zimmer wirkte alt und unmotiviert - wir wurden von einem modrigem Geruch begrüsst und empfanden die Inneneinrichtung als langweilig. Das Alter des Hauses machte sich auch bemerkbar beim Duschen - kein Wasserdruck! Auch die Flure wirkten eher leer. Das Haus bot keinen Charm (das beste Zimmer war der Frühstücksraum). Der Ausblick vom Garten (und manchen Zimmern) ist sehr schön, dies ist aber auch der Fall vom nahe gelegenem Motel. Meine negative Bewrtung beruht auf dem Preis-Leistung Verhältnis. Es ist def. den teuren Preis nicht Wert - wir würden hier nicht noch einmal Übernachten (es sei denn der Preis wäre deutlich = 50% niedriger).

A nice place with heart and soul

We stayed just for one night, getting ready for the next day cruise on Doubtful Sound. Had really no expectations but were positively surprised as we were welcomed by Rob, who is the fourth generation running this rustic and warm B&B. After a short brief we found our selves with a glass of wine sitting on the veranda enjoying the view over Lake Manapouri. All in all the stay was a very good experience. We did the overnight cruise on doubtful sound with Deep cove charter - absolutely recommendable.

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.
