    We had dinner here 10/2/2026. Bit of a line up to get to the bar / find out where our table was. We had been advised to book, which I did the day before. My wife & I each had ribeye steak which were very nice. Before the mains, we shared sweet potato fries, also very nice. The service was good, the owner is a friendly bloke. If we are ever back in Manapouri, I'll be sure to book a table and dine here again.

    The food, customer service and view all excellent. The blue cod was so delicious we ordered another plate. Ate both without taking a picture it seems. Really enjoyed it all.

    We visited on a Sunday evening after a day of hiking, looking to have dinner. The Church Manapouri offered a very nice and welcoming ambience, and the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately they only offered snacks at that time (which were very tasty nevertheless!).

    Stopped in for a quick pint after a walk and a swim. Under $10 for a pint of Monteiths Black in a prime tourist spot. Amazing. Sat out on the upstairs deck and enjoyed the view. Bliss!

    Awesome atmosphere with good good after a long day exploring Milford sounds. Everything we ordered was delicious and at decent price.

    We sat in a little raised room with two very armchairs and had a glass of wine and some curly fries. It could have been the confessional. Great service great atmosphere and the fries were just what was needed on a cold day.

    Didn't try any of the food, but the quaint bar and service was great, loads of varied beers and spirits, and lovely views from the balcony.
