    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.

    I'm so happy we booked three nights at this place in Manapouri. It was quiet and so close to what we wanted to do...Milford out of Te Anou and Doubtful out of Manapouri (5 minutes). I would definitly stay here again!

    You need to help the receptionist with English.

    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.

    This is a fine place to stay for a night or two if you’re visiting Doubtful Sound. This was my 3rd stay. Friendly, helpful staff from all over the world. Facilities range from tent camping to hook ups and basic cabins with shared ensuite and kitchen or fully equipped cabins with ensuite & kitchenette. Reasonably priced, beautiful location on Lake Manapouri and within walking distance to the Doubtful Sound cruise.

    Convenient location for Doubtful Sound or Manapouri activities. The lake is just in front of the park , across the road. The park actually has very little light pollution, so at night, when everyone’s asleep, if it’s clear, you can, as I did, see the Milky Way and all the southern constellations. No need to go to Tekapo for this!

    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.

    GREAT location and view of the lake. It is an older property and bathroom in particular could use some renovation. However it was very clean and the cheaper price offset the age of the property. We were very pleased!

    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.
