Set in Manapouri, 21 km from Te Anau Glow Worm Caves, Possum Lodge offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities.

A cute little retro cottage, right next to Lake Manapouri. A comfortable bed -- the best 8 and a half hour sleep I've had in ages.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, not far from the main street where we had dinner. A nice cul-de-sac in a quiet street. Modern home, everything was comfortable.

    The room was basic but comfortable (particularly the bed). It was very satisfactory for a budget price. The views over the lake were beautiful. Access to the kitchen and (though we didn't need it) a laundry were helpful additions.

    The view of Lake Manapouri from our bungalow was outstanding. Each morning I was excited to get up to see how it looked with ever changing cloud formations over the mountains beyond. On the last day there was a fabulous rainbow which we could see from the lounge - wonderful. The kitchen and bathroom are adequate and the beds were comfy. Such a great location for travelling to Milford Sound and walking distance to a friendly place for dinner.
