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.

You need to help the receptionist with English. When it was decided that he was under last name it was ok. She kept looking up first name and no booking was found then he wrote down name Graeme Childs. it was ok then.

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.

the room was clean and tidy with a good view of lake. 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.

The room is spacious and tidy with an amazing lake view. There is no wifi and scattered mobile coverage so we read some books instead. We booked the doubtful sound overnight cruise the next day where the departure point is 5 minutes away so it was a good location for us. Te Anau would be a better area for tourists to stay with more restaurants and shops.

Our stay at Cabot Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip to NZ. It is a magical, idyllic location and our hosts Brad and Breidi and their team welcomed us with kindness and thoughtfulness in their attention to detail. We would definitely go back and stay longer next time we are in NZ! We HIGHLY recommend this most amazing experience at Cabot Lodge!

Great place to stay had everything we needed and more, Warm with all the comforts of home perfect location if you're doing Doubtful sound cruises as it's only a 2 minute walk to the jetty. As well as still being close to Te Anau. Great communication from the owners as well. We will be back! Thank you.

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 enjoyed the outdoor spa and getting up close to the alpacas. It was a pleasant 15min walk into Manapouri. Jesse and Ray are a lovely couple and gave us a very warm welcome. There is a well equipped kitchen. Beautiful scenery all around.

Absolutely nothing to like about this property, dirty run down and overpriced. Stay somewhere else! checkin staff not friendly. It's just Yuk! Stay at the Te Anau lakeview holiday Park down the road, a quarter of the price and beautiful.

The historic aspect of this house. Later on we saw the original pic of the house in the visitor center of Doubtful Sound. Perfect location to spend the night before an early DS cruise.
