We liked the self contained cabin while participating the Medford Sound guided tour from Te Anau. The cabin is rustic but the host keeps it clean.

Facilities looked and sneaky a bit old but no complaint. They have everything washer/drier, old style toaster/cooker, plates, etc. in the room. Fantastic location. We will choose here over Te Anau next time as well.

Basic place

The location is amazing. Just to the back you can walk along the lake. Very basic place. The room I was in was ok but due to poor isolation. So noisy. I sneezed and people next door said bless you. You could here everything

Très bien mais un peu vieillot

Super bien situé, plage privée à 20 mètres, perdu dans les bois (route non goudronnée pour vernir). Super accueil, patron absolument adorable et très disponible. Appartement très bien équipé, mais vieillot au point de vu des sanitaires.

The most beautiful place to stay in Fiordland. Cute retro cabin with great kitchen and bathroom. On the lake. Great walks around the area and easy walk to Real NZ port for boat to Doubtful Sound. Host Henry and his family were really friendly snd helpful - great experience visiting Possum Lodge

This place is everything to everybody. We stayed in a cabin which was away from the young campers and very quiet, but for a small place with a lot of people in it, it's very chilled. Awesome location to spend some time too. .

A good night's sleep

We had a very nice 3-day stay in one of the cottages. It was very quite, and the beds were very comfortable with an electrical blanket. The cottage was quite well equipped and there was heating. We had a great trip to Doubtful Sound, which the lady at the reception helped us to book. Unfortunately, the weather was quite wet, and the cottage was a bit damp. We asked for an extra change of towels as they did not dry well in the cottage. We went to Te Anau for dinner as the local pub mostly seems to have fried food. We found a nice Indian Restaurant, and the Thai place in Te Anau was very busy. There was also a bakery in Te Anau that sold pies, including vegetarian pies.

Clean but very old, bed very comfy, quiet. Sadly only two small relaxing chairs not particularly comfy. Unfortunately there was a very strong curry smell which was not pleasant, we appreciate not the managers fault but other places have a sign saying do not cook fish, curry etc which this place needs.
