loctation is perfect, but the facilities have not been updated since the 70ties, which is a bit a shame given the location.
Providing a tennis court, Kepler Mountain View provides accommodations in Manapouri. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The vacation home has a picnic area and a hot tub....

AMAZING STAY!! I do not have enough Accolades to express how much we enjoyed our stay.
If you are going to Doubtful Sound... THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! You will be sleeping before the rest of the boat tour is 1/2 way back to their hotel!
This place is middle of Alpaca Farm, unit/building is a very private but a part of a larger barn/storage structure. Unit was large and immaculate. There is fridge cooktop microwave pots pans dishwasher plates silverware. Also, a Washer and Dryer which we found EXTREEMLY handy for middle of out 3-week NZ trip. Bed was very nice and we slept perfectly for our 3-night stay.
There is a Jacuzzi 10 steps from the unit that was wonderful to use at night. We followed the owners written instructions to turn the water temp up and down before and after use. This practice will save owners monies hence, save you(who is reading this) keeping the rental rate down, Be mindful of Jacuzzis are expensive to run and upkeep. It is FANTASTIC owner have this enjoyable feature!
I had great correspondence with the owner through Booking,com prior to our visit. However, owner was out of town the days we were there. There is a Lady(I do not recall her name) that tended to the Alpaca Farm while they were away. This Lady gave us tour of farm where you could pet and feed Alpacas. I can not say enough about the hospitality this lady gave us during our stay. She provided WONDERFULL tips about Doubtful, Milford sounds as well as great information about our travels to Wanaka and Mt Cook. She was such a delight to speak with she represents the owners wonderfully as a host!
Owner recycles/filters rain water which was amazing. Water tastes like "nothing" simply the way water should taste, refreshing and cold right from tap. Far cry from any city water or well water. We filled all our water bottles before we left.
DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!! It is stay and hospitality, we will forever remember on our NZ visit!

Perfect location to spend the night before an early DS cruise.

We were excited about staying here but blown away by the reality. Brad and Breidi are just exceptional hosts - people who love people and love their life running Cabot Lodge, and it shows. There are stunning views from every room and all the around the property, which is a garden show all on its' own. There is everything you could ask for in a room, details I hadn't realized I'd missed until we found them here. There were fresh flowers, fruit and cookies every day, and a selection of local wines and beers in the room. Every time we arrived back at the property Brad came out to greet us and ask if there was anything we needed. Honestly, anything guests need or want has been thought about in advance, but they personalize everyone's experience anyway. We got detailed personalized advice for every day's adventures, with an additional notecard the day we left giving recommendations for our stopover in Queenstown. I had a major Amazon delivery problem with a book I'd ordered as a gift for my husband and Breidie jumped on it and had it solved in no time - then surprised me by gift wrapping the book and leaving it in our room. Lovely (and fabulous) canopies and drinks at 6, unbelievably great dinner at 7 from a Chef we thought they must have brought in from a big city. Brad's breakfasts were fabulous. Can't say enough. We already miss it --

Very nice, if dated in a clean and pleasant manner, river view/fishing enthusiast home. We took a boat tour of Doubtful Sound and walked from our property, via a nearby walkway, to the waterfront on Lake Manapouri from whence the tour commenced. Less than 200 meters. Well appointed kitchen.

We were able to upgrade from a very basic cabin ....to a unit with a bathroom and its own tv. This made our stay better.....as literally nothing to do in Manapouri but wait for our Cruise the next day. Beds were comfortable and electric blankets. Lovely big heat pump so toasty warm
Set on expansive grounds, Fiordland Hotel is located in Te Anau, 1640 feet from the lake. The town center is a 10-minute walk from the property. There are lake and mountain views from most rooms.

Manapouri is a very small, lakefront town that has a beautiful view of Lake Manapouri and the mountains beyond. It also has a fantastic cafe/bar/restaurant called The Church, which I thoroughly recommend. However, don't stay at the Manapouri Lakeview Motor Inn if you can avoid it.

Manapouri is a quiet place with few amenities, does have a church pub restaurant which was great, a must visit . And an antique traders shop and cafe and petrol.
Station . The area is very close to the Doubtful
Sound cruise terminal, which has cruises daily into Doubtful
Sound which takes you across lake Manapouri .
The lake is tranquil
And unspoilt with walking and cycling tracks along its shores.

there was a lack of staff as the barman was waiter as well as reception so a long wait for any service at the bar and a long wait for the meals which were absolutely shocking

Beautiful part of the country.
Beautiful part of the country. Great day trip with NZ real to Doubtful Sounds. Staff so friendly and informative. Day 2 went to the glow worms cave, shorter trip. A great experience again with NZ real tours. These guys are a great team of young people and made the tours very friendly 10 out of 10. Ate at the Fat Duck 1 night, enjoyed very mouth full, serves was excellent. the ranch the next tonight where you could get a lovely roast meal for $25. In manapouri we visited and wonderful antique store in view street. I purchased a couple of lovely things. Well worth a look and you can spend half an hour there easily. Te anua is the place to stay though not in Manapouri unless you have a boat.
This is a simple and lovely holiday park. Shared bathroom facilities were fine. Good warm showers. Loved waking up to so much bird song. This is what NZ is known for! Shared kitchen was ideal which we mainly used for hot water and tea. We did not cook there. The location was great as we wanted to be near Te Anau and things were quite booked up around Christmas. Decent WiFi. I would stay here again.
Possum Lodge is a combination campground and motel. We stayed in one of the cottages and despite its obvious age, found it to be clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful. The nearby lake (Manapouri) was stunning. We had a wonderful experience meeting the locals in the local pub. Highly recommended unless you are looking for a 5 star resort :=)
1. Location - perfect if you want to go cruising on Doubtful Sound, a short walk from town centre
2. Very spacious - two storey house, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living/dining area, bathroom/toiler and sheltered outdoor deck area
3. Kitchen was well equipped
4. Free WiFi
5. Washing machine, dryer and iron
6. Electric blankets on the beds and large heater upstairs
We stayed in one of the small quaint cottages. We had a wonderful stay and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything you need in a stay was perfect…comfy beds, great showers, warm and cosy - spotless and clean. Only a stone throw to lake Manapouri and a couple of small tracks following the shoreline.
Checkin was easy and staff was pleasant and nice. 10/10.
Cabot Lodge was the best place we stayed during our vacation. It's a peaceful and relaxing retreat surrounded by gorgeous views of neighboring farms. We really loved walking the grounds and getting to know the farm sheep and mini horses. + The dinner was such a treat-- beautifully prepared and so tasty. I can't wait to return during my next visit.

great location, 3 minutes from town and about 15-20 from Te Anau.
comfortable beds, a great kitchen and amazing views.
The hostess was lovely and accommodating and came to meet us upon arrival.
The history of the house and the owners was very interesting. The location is fantastic and very handy for the Doubtful Sound cruise. The breakfast was the best we had on our 4 week trip.
