    The rooms were super comfy and warm, staff were incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic, explaining all the amenities and nearby activities in detail. The inclusiveness of the staff was impressive. The small cottages were quaint and had everything you needed for a perfect stay - comfy beds, great showers, spotlessly clean. The location was stunning, with beautiful views of the lake and easy access to walking tracks. The owner was friendly and accommodating. Great value for money, with a variety of accommodation options. Free kayaks were a bonus. Highly recommended!

    the location was beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and surrounded by a beech forest. the cottage I stayed in was cozy and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. the owner, Henry, was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. the lodge had a great community vibe, with a games room and laundry facilities. it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Possum Lodge. Cons: Nothing, it's perfection! 😊.

    Convenient location near lake and cruise start point. Clean and comfortable rooms with plenty of hot water. Beautifully maintained grounds. Friendly and welcoming host. Thoughtfully appointed cottage.

    Limited kitchen equipment and showers. Lack of amenities in the small settlement.

    As a solo traveler, I stayed at Possum Lodge for a few nights and it quickly became my favorite accommodation in NZ. The staff, especially Henry, were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The grounds were well-maintained and the cabins provided a lovely and private stay. The location was perfect for exploring Fraser beach, Milford sounds, doubtful sounds, and local walks. Plus, the added bonus of free kayaks made it even better. I would definitely recommend and return to this comfortable and convenient lodge.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    During our recent stay at Possum Lodge, we were pleasantly surprised by the small, quaint cottages. The beds were comfy, the showers were great, and everything was spotless and clean. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw from Lake Manapouri and some lovely shoreline tracks. Check-in was easy and the staff were pleasant and nice. it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely recommend and return to this cozy retreat.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    I gotta say, Possum Lodge nailed it. Amazing value for the money with cozy and well-equipped rooms. The location was to die for, right by the stunning Lake Manapouri. And the staff? Super friendly and helpful, made me feel right at home.

    The morning meal could use a little improvement. Maybe a wider variety of options would be nice.

    Our recent stay at Possum Lodge in Manapouri was fantastic! The location was perfect for visiting Doubtful Sound Cruises, just a short 5-minute walk away. The lodge is nestled in a beautiful beech forest with stunning lake views. We loved the laid-back atmosphere and the owner's friendliness. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we had plenty of hot water for our showers. The availability of kayaks for a paddle on the lake was a wonderful bonus. we highly recommend this lodge for a cozy and enjoyable stay.

    Convenient location for Doubtful Sounds trip. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Unique charm in the accommodation. Cozy cabin with heater and electric blanket. Enjoyed the games shed. Good showers and toilets. Fantastic stargazing. Comfy beds and spotlessly clean.

    Small and cramped kitchen. Limited space in the fridges for personal food.
