There are not many places to choose from. All in all the hotel was clean and comfortable. The views from most of the rooms are lovely . The hotel does not appear to have been updated since the 70's but one does not visit this area expecting 5 star accommodations either. The food was average . The staff was friendly... More

The best thing about the Manapouri Lakeview is the location. Every room has a view of Lake Manapouri which is spectacular at any time of the day but especially early morning or late evening. The rooms are comfortable enough but looking a bit dated (1970s ?) The housekeeping could have been better, cobwebs in the skylight in the bathroom but... More

We actually did not stay at this place, but enjoyed a dinner in the cafe/restaurant. The views here are amazing, but the food could be just that wee bit better to bring it up to four stars. Had the lovely southland lamb shank which was great and the food with it was good (although seriously make sure the peas are... More

We stayed two nights to go on the Doubtful Sound trip nearby. The most appealing thing about this motel is the view. Each unit looks over Lake Manapouri and the hills and is fantastic to wake up to. We stayed in one of the units at the front and had a bedroom, bathroom and sofabed in the living area. We... More

Clean, comfortable rooms. Excellent location. Would suggest you avail of the cooking facilities rather than use the cafe - food very average. I don't know if they are part of the motel so have excluded thoughts on the cafe when scoring the motel.

Situated in a quiet location oppositte some of the most picturesque scenery in the world and also close enough to Te Anau with it's more than adequate little town centre. Rooms were comfortable and the kitchen on the premises was just right for cooking our own meals. Would definitely reccomend and would stay here again anytime. The only negative was... More

The room was clean and the kitchenette was nice to have. The restaurant is right next door, and as pretty much the only option in town, it was convenient. The food is OK, but the beer was cold. Our room was in the front near reception, so it got a little noisy when guests would check in or return in... More

Love the location and the view. It was scenic and totally calming. Easy access to the beach for morning walks, 15mins drive to Te Anau to get whatever we wanted. The staff (front desk - Inga and Sally and housekeeping) were extremely friendly and helpful. The weather was cold but the room was warm and comfy. On our last night,... More

Yes the room did have a lake view but the room was old and small with soft beds. However we did thoroughly enjoy the restaurant next door. We took a walk on the beach after dinner and the fiords/water were beautiful.
