Unexpected in a good way. Cabin was very comfortable, clean, and large. A great place for free spirited travellers to get away. The best part was the wonderful hospitality from the owner. I would gladly return to the Possum Lodge.

Stayed here for a night before a Doubtful Sound cruise. The location was perfect (right down the street from the RealNZ ferry). The facilities were simple but very comfy. Right along the water with multiple paths around the grounds. Felt like a cool little community with many different travelers. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area!

Kelly

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very kind and friendly and the room itself was nice and cozy. But the shared facilities were not as well kept. The bathroom and shower facilities were messy/dirty - it was nearly impossible to keep anything dry in the shower areas. Overall, for the cost and location and short stay, it’s fine.

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.
