Kepler Mountain View Alpaca Cottage is located on our alpaca farm on the edge of Fiordland National Park at Lake Manapouri. Outstanding views can be enjoyed of the Fiordland mountains in every direction along with a beautiful rural aspect. An outdoor living area surrouned by gardens contains a spa pool (hot tub) so guests can soak in the spa pool under the stars and also includes a gas BBQ to enjoy long summer evenings outside. If guest wish they can join us in hand feeding the alpacas and will have alpacas close to the cottage to enjoy at anytime. The cottage is private with its own gardens and outdoor living area surrounded by the larger gardens around our property. Our whole property is run by solar power (backed up by hydro electricity from the grid if necessary during winter) and we are carbon netural with a 60 acre forest which we planted back in 1997.
