Take it easy at this peaceful, unique and cosy home. Our space is hidden away in the wee slice of paradise where the Waiau River meets Lake Manapouri. It's a sanctuary for nature and wilderness lovers, nestled into a breathtaking Beech forest. Beautiful birds fill the trees above. Fantastic fish fill the river and lake below. Humble and wondrous, it was built by local legends in the 70s, and is available for the first time ever as visitor accommodation, as of March 2022.
Great place in great nature setting, rooms and equipment as described, would recommend it. Direct access to beach hiking trail.

House is a bit dated, but served our purposes very well. Circular staircase a nice feature.

The place is lovely. We arrived late and immediately put on the fire place. It feels like an old, loved home.
It was clean and simple. Every room in the house was charming.
The lake just moments away is just beautiful.
Thank you.

The house is somewhat quirky- strange mix of retro and old style furniture, strange room layout (no toilet on upper floor). But we loved the location, surrounded by trees, close to the lake, quiet area. Wasn't made clear that the property has another dwelling nearby, but that wasn't a problem. The wood fueled hot tub was a bonus (although a fair bit of work!). Cleaning of spider webs from windows would be an improvement.

Loved our time in Manapouri. Great spot amongst the trees. The furniture in the lounge and the kitchen cabinets could do with a little TLC, but overall a comfortable spot.

Great older home in Manapouri. Most of the renters are in camper vans or tents. Some smaller wooden structures to rent, but this is the biggest house. It could accommodate 8 to 10 people maximum. Kitchen upstairs.

It was a quaint rustic home with all the basics. It has character, the beds were comfortable, and the manager was very helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet place set in beautiful nature with a nice walking track along the lake behind the property, this is it. Just be prepared for the cold winter. There is a nice wood burning furnace with tons of wood available in the back of the house, the beds have electric blankets, and there is an AC/Heating unit in the dining area and bathroom…but still quite cold in the rooms. And at night you can see so many stars…absolutely beautiful. They also offered kayaks to take on the lake, but we did not take advantage of it. Overall, we had a nice stay.

We had a lovely few days at possum lodge. The house is quirky, warm and set amongst established trees, nestled in its own little forest right next to manapouri lake with its own access through the back gate, stunning.
Henry was a wonderful host, friendly approachable and kept in contact our entire stay.
The area has an abundance of activities and walks.
Highly recommend a stay at possum lodge!
