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.

Accommodation Options

Possum Lodge provides a range of accommodation for all budgets, including comfortable self-contained motel units, cosy backpacker cabins and spacious campervan sites.

Backpacker Cabins

For the budget conscious or those wanting to spend more time and money on adventures in Fiordland, these cabins are the perfect choice. We have a range of cabin types including double, twin or bunk cabins, with shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge facilities. Family or tour groups can be catered for with any combination of cabin types depending on your needs.

Self contained Motel Units

Like a trip back in time, these charming units represent all things good about an era gone by where motels were clean, comfortable and provided everything a traveler needed. Set in beautifully manicured gardens with leafy surrounds, these units offer fantastic value for those wanting to take some time out from the rigors of a busy travel schedule.

Campervan Sites

These spacious, grassy sites offer campervan travelers plenty of room to stretch out and take in the garden and forest surrounds. Some sites back onto the forest with river views, while others are nestled beneath the forest canopy only a short stroll to the lakefront. All have access to the shared bathroom, camp kitchen and campers lounge facilities.

Activities

The township of Manapouri is a typical New Zealand holiday village with a laid back, relaxed atmosphere, catering for local and international visitors. Manapouri is the departure point for cruises to Doubtful Sound. Revered for its wilderness and marine wildlife, Doubtful Sound offers the traveler an opportunity to experience one of the most remote waterways in New Zealand from the comfort of a modern cruise vessel.

Manapouri is the perfect starting point for a number of Fiordland Activities. Whatever your penchant, Manapouri has an option for you. Fiordland is the ultimate tramping destination in New Zealand with world famous walks such as the Milford, Routeburn and Kepler Tracks, and the lesser known Dusky and Hump Ridge tracks. This area can fill your entire adventure holiday itinerary, with options of independent or guided tramping trips.
