We liked the self contained cabin while participating the Medford Sound guided tour from Te Anau. The cabin is rustic but the host keeps it clean.

A magical spot like no other, well worth staying at Possum Lodge for this alone…Highly recommend!
Sandra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The most beautiful place to stay in Fiordland. Cute retro cabin with great kitchen and bathroom. On the lake. Great walks around the area and easy walk to Real NZ port for boat to Doubtful Sound. Host Henry and his family were really friendly snd helpful - great experience visiting Possum Lodge

10/10 Exceptional

Iconic bit of Old New Zealand holiday accommodation. Loved it.

Excellent place for exploring Fiordland
We had a wonderful stay at Possum Lodge - much more than we expected! We booked one of the family cottages - cottage 2. As others have noted, it’s rustic, yet charming. We felt it was a good size for the three of us and the amenities were good. Best part was the surrounds - very well maintained and beautiful garden, set amongst native trees and right next to the lake. We had afternoons where we just chilled outside. The Church and the local cafe were both 5 minutes walk away, and we frequented both and enjoyed our meals. Would happily recommend this to anyone that like to be off the beaten track a bit.

Henry was amazing and showed us around the lodge! It's located near the water with wonderful views (and kayaks!), and a great outdoor fireplace. I wish we had gotten to stay longer!

10/10 Exceptional

This place is everything to everybody. We stayed in a cabin which was away from the young campers and very quiet, but for a small place with a lot of people in it, it's very chilled. Awesome location to spend some time too. .
Grant, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Clean but very old, bed very comfy, quiet. Sadly only two small relaxing chairs not particularly comfy. Unfortunately there was a very strong curry smell which was not pleasant, we appreciate not the managers fault but other places have a sign saying do not cook fish, curry etc which this place needs.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

Henry went out of his way to help us. He knew the local attractions and their costs in his head. This is a fantastic place for families with a games room, lounge and kitchen facilities. Next time we go to Manapouri, we will definitely stay here.
Andrea, 1-night trip

Loved the little self contained hut. Had fun with the entertainment area. Table tennis and table top soccer. Did a book swap.

A good night's sleep
We had a very nice 3-day stay in one of the cottages. It was very quite, and the beds were very comfortable with an electrical blanket. The cottage was quite well equipped and there was heating. We had a great trip to Doubtful Sound, which the lady at the reception helped us to book. Unfortunately, the weather was quite wet, and the cottage was a bit damp. We asked for an extra change of towels as they did not dry well in the cottage. We went to Te Anau for dinner as the local pub mostly seems to have fried food. We found a nice Indian Restaurant, and the Thai place in Te Anau was very busy. There was also a bakery in Te Anau that sold pies, including vegetarian pies.

Très bien mais un peu vieillot
Super bien situé, plage privée à 20 mètres, perdu dans les bois (route non goudronnée pour vernir). Super accueil, patron absolument adorable et très disponible. Appartement très bien équipé, mais vieillot au point de vu des sanitaires.
