This is a lovely old camp was historically built for the Monowai Power Station workers in the 1960's as a boarding hostel and has retained this charm.
We live on site with our four dogs and three cats
Monowai Village is a small rural village with a population of 10. We are a friendly bunch and love to get to know our visitors and learn about their travels. We are only 500mtrs from the Waiau river and 10kms drive to Monowai Lake. Visit the Monowai Power Station which was opened 1 May 1925 and it still services the Southland District. It is one of the oldest and most scenic power stations in New Zealand. Check out the stunning views into Fiordland and east towards the Takitimu Mountains and the amazing weathered granite formations in the Mt Eldrig and Mt Titiroa areas. World Heritage Fiordland National Park, is part of Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand Area. Fiordland National Park is a popular place for hunting red deer, wapiti, possums and in certain areas, wild pigs and chamois
