Lake Manapouri is the gateway to Doubtful Sound. Much quieter than Milford, especially in winter, it's the perfect base to explore the Fiordland region of New Zealand

The view was spectacular. I would stay at this place again just for the view. The hotel itself was very outdated.

We stayed in the basic cabins and they were so cute! Very clean and cozy, there was a heater in the room so it was super nice! The bathrooms never felt too busy and were clean!

9/10 Wonderful! (45 reviews)
Unexpected in a good way. Cabin was very comfortable, clean, and large. A great place for free spirited travellers to get away. The best part was the wonderful hospitality from the owner. I would gladly return to the Possum Lodge.

It is very small not many options for food although Te Anau is 20 mins away, by car, with many options. It is close to the embarkation point for Doubtful Sound cruises, walking distance, which was excellent, a beautiful trip.
