About the neighborhood

Manapouri is home to Te Anau Manapouri Lake Hotel. While the natural beauty of Lake Manapouri and Kepler Track can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Te Anau Golf Course. Lake Te Anau and Doubtful Sound are two other places to visit that come recommended. Visit our Manapouri travel guide

What's nearby

  • This was taken at the Kea Point lookout at Mt Cook National Park. It was an easy trek and the view was phenomenal. We got there just as the sun was about to go behind the mountains so I was glad that I could capture what was left of the light on those snow-capped peaks. The giant mountain there is Mt Wakefield and just to the left of it is Mt Cook, nearly fully covered by those stubborn clouds. The Muller Glacier down the bottom definitely gave the image a good colour contrast as well.

The property was on poor repair and shape. It looked like it was forgotten and just opened for a few weeks. Over grown plants and weeds. The view of the lake and clean sheets and towels were there only saving grace. The staff did the best they could given the condition the the motel.

The shower curtain was too short, bathroom flooded during each shower. The sign suggesting "don't flood the bathroom" won't work in the current configuration. The laundry power was off at 8:30 pm - that's fine, but was not back on until 9:00 am - with a check out at 10, there really isn't time to do laundry on your day of check out. Clean room and helpful staff.

Absolutely stunning scenery, friendly staff but the room smelled badly of fish and body odor. My bed had a broken spring that jabbed into my leg. Was very rustic in definite need of upgrade….. wouldn’t recommend unfortunately. It says something when before bringing in my luggage I checked for bed bugs

Great location. Very convenient for making the early morning departure time for the cruise experience to Doubtless Sound we had booked. Negatives: Grounds clearly need some maintenance done. Inescapable conclusion to reach is that the owners just don't care what grounds look like. Car parking available but on a sloping grass verge. Bathroom very dated and old and tired looking. Coffee making facilities - jug, cups, fridge, but no teaspoons!! Cups looked a little dirty. Positives: Views are outstanding. Water in shower was hot. Internet wi-fi was easy to access, fast and reliable.

Not as bad as other reviews make out. Easy check-in, room not fully serviced but clean towels replaced. 'Camp' kitchen for cooking meals (byo bowls!). Cleanliness as good as you can expect for a well- worn room. Could do with a mow & whippersnip around the place and a lot of T& C. Lake view is awesome from front rooms!

The buildings felt like they were waiting to be demolished! Very old fashioned and tired. Not at all comfortable. No fan or air con (although we didn’t need it). Really small bed in our room so we asked to swap to 2 singles. Very flat pillows and only one each. Only space & hard chair for one person to sit to eat/read, other than on the bed. No internet for all of our 2 days, even in reception. This meant there was also no TV, except one very fuzzy channel. Restaurant/cafe was closed, even though all the rooms seemed fully booked. The shared kitchen had no plates, bowls, cutlery, but reception provided some when I asked. Nothing in the room except a kettle. Nice lake views and you can walk along the shoreline. We only stayed there as all other accommodation was booked. It’s about a 15 min drive to Te Anau, which looked very nice when we joined our mini bus tour to Milford Sound. We ate in Te Anau in the evening and there were several nice restaurants to choose from.

The entire complex looks ready for a major renovation: the buildings look very tired and the grounds, especially at the rear of buildings, were overgrown and unkempt. Our room was clean and tidy enough although the skirting in the bathroom was rotten - the interior of the room looked untouched since the 1970s. We were embarrassed to think that overseas guests would be staying here. We expected much better for what we paid to stay here. A disappointing experience.

This hotel was clean but that’s not what I felt at first glance. Cooking Teflon pan was peeling off. Once I asked for a replacement staff immediately fixed the problem. Then we noticed that the only provided 2 towels for a reservation for 4. Again very quickly provided. Then noticed 2 lights in the living room were out. Electrician did not seem competent. He should have first tested the breaker but instead started retiring the fixture with live wires. Glad he did not kill himself. He did however short the circuit before fixing it. This hotel needs a REAL hotel manager. Staff was helpful.
