Nice view of lake, room and bathroom good. Friendly staff. Older building with different layout.
Quite basic but comfortable and satisfactorily equipped room. The location and the lake view are worth ten times the reasonable room rate. Guest kitchen and laundry facilities on site. Very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommended.
Booked rooms were not available, shower put water all over the bathroom floor, beds had no support and the grounds were over run with weeds. A great view though.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
This place had 2 things going for it and one was the view from our room and the second was the bed was comfortable.
Shower held together with string.
Microwave dubious.
Cutlery - nothing other than a cup and saucer. No bowl, no plates.
Room definately in need of an upgrade re curtains and heater.
Also false advertising as Te Annau was placed first in front of Manapouri Lakeside Hotel .
Being unfamiliar with the area I had assumed the accommodation was in Te Anau and not 20 km away in Manapouri. I actually thought Manapouri was the name of the hotel !

Lovely views over Lake Manapouri. Motels tired and rundown. Staff helpful and friendly.
Property access was easy, late check-in process was smooth, and views from the room (all rooms, too, I believe) was excellent. Also appreciated the shared cooking facility for those times when we preferred DIY.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The buildings were a bit run down but extremely clean and comfortable. The setting and view are outstanding. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.
A million dollar view at a reasonable price. Less touristy than Te Anau.
Comfortable room and bed.
Convenient for travelling to both Doubtful and Milford Sound.

The facility is a little out dated, but was still clean, warm and cozy. Staff were polite and pleasant at check in and check out. Beautiful views from the room.
