True lakefront accommodation in Fiordland, open from October to May, Possum Lodge offers guests a unique opportunity to wander from their accommodation to the shores of Lake Manapouri or the Waiau River without having to cross a road. Situated on the shores of spectacular Lake Manapouri, New Zealand's most scenic lake, and only a stones throw from the Fiordland National / Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, Possum Lodge is an ideal setting to spend time enjoying some of New Zealand's most inspiring scenery. The views across Lake Manapouri sweep from the imposing Hunter Mountains, with the spectacular Monument in the foreground, to the snow capped Cathedral Peaks, and further north to the renowned tramping destination, the Kepler Mountains. The Waiau River offers sheltered waters for kayakers and canoeists, and has a healthy population of trout for keen fisherpeople.
