Although in need of a lick of paint. This is a well situated motel with fantastic views over Lake Manapouri. Our unit was comfortable with a large sitting out area. I was interested to read other reviews, a very mixed bag. I agree it does need updating but the food in the bar was very good and the service first... more

This motel ( yes a motel ) some of reviewers were obviously expecting a 5 star hotel for $100 a night - offers typical fairly small motel rooms with million dollar views - the location is sensational. NB There was still plenty of room for our plentiful luggage & the rooms were spotlessly clean The receptionist was the most together... more

We stayed here one night. The view of the lake is what made this place nice. A great sunset. The rooms were nothing special but clean and nice view from the window. Location is what makes hotels here I believe! Just stayed a few hours in the evening then left in the morning. A nice liquor store around the back... more

If you are taking the Doubtful Sound cruise and staying over in Manapouri, if you have time, it might be best to look for other lodging. There are single cabins at a nearby facility. This is a two-star property, strip-motel. The rooms are small and tired. The plus is convenience to the cruise terminal. Another plus is a restaurant. more

The Manapouri Motor Inn is the closest accommodation to Doubtful Sound but avoid it. It's a dump. Cobwebs in the room. Sagging bed. Islolated location and terrible food in their restaruant. I was served raw eggplant. Stone steps so inaccessible to anyone in wheelchair or using a cane, etc. Lots more choices for sleeping and eating in Te Anau which... more

We were advised by the guest who stayed that she would be writing a review on us. When I asked for feedback she would not elaborate. What she has omitted to say is that our staff were very helpful to her spending over 2 hours helping her sort out a problem with her rental car. This lady was refered to...
