The only positives were the view & no bed bugs. I stayed at this motel in the mid seventies & it's vertually unchanged. Ancient dial shower, one pillow very flat, no milk in the fridge, dirt on surface of tv table. I was able to clean it so not a stain, & frame of doorway is raised a bit causing people to stub their toes - needs a mind the step warning. Only stay here if you a desperate. Definitely not value for money.

Very disappointing! The motel was so unkept and a ghost town. They confirmed I could check in an hour earlier and when I got there reception was closed from 12 -2pm! Not a soul around so left a message at front desk. The property is so rundown, lawns overgrown, broken fixtures around the place, all the cafe/ restaurant options onsite were closed despite listing what's available in the accommodation file. They allowed a massive double container truck to park in the front blocking the views from the accommodation so that impacted the only positive thing about it.

When I booked this place for a family holiday in NZ, the rate seemed a bit high compared to others; but I was getting the "lakeview holiday home" so it seemed worth it. Sadly, this was the Nightmare Before Christmas combined with the Shining. Upon arrival, it was rundown outside, but things got worse. Our 'holiday home' had a broken bulb on the ground outside the door with broken glass, a rusted round clothesline outside, the toilet didn't work & was next to the washer, the grass was uncut, a picnic table had peeling paint you would get splinters from, the fuse box was exposed & the wifi didn't work. The check-in man was fine -but it was his 2nd day on the job & he didn't know anything. I wanted to check out immediately & messaged expedia but was cut off due to the lack of internet & was told the hotel's policy was no refund for the full stay. There was no one at the front desk for me to call. The next day -still no working toilet & the front desk assistant couldn't understand English even though the hotel is in NZ. She brought a plunger for my husband to use & a key to a room across the parking lot if the plunger didn't work. Then I spoke to the bartender/manager who said to email him & he would send my email to the owner re a refund, Nothing happened. But I did find an unknown man's underwear on the bedroom floor. DON'T STAY HERE. IT IS A SCARY, UNKEMPT RIPOFF. Stay elsewhere. NZ is great. This place is an insult to the country & to Expedia for listing it.

The views are to die for. The rooms are bot serviced daily. The whole place is very run down and needs a good weed, mow and paint. The bar and restaurant looked closed all the time. Rooms were clean enough but need much attention.

Someone (another guest?) unlocked our door and walked into our room while we were in there. An older building and a bit shabby-- this was fine, expected. But. Only one outlet in the entire room worked. There was a TV, fridge, two heaters, electric blanket... but none of them could work because the plug points were non-functional. There was rubbish under the bed from previous guests and hair in the sink. There was no daily service (towels, etc). Basically it seems like a dying motel on its last legs. The beds were very comfortable and warm, at least, and it had a great view sitting on the balcony.

Access to the lake was a 3 minute walk. Short drive to Te Anau. Requested a two bed room - given a one bed. When we changed to a two bed room there wasn’t a pillow for one bed. No tee towel or dish cloth. Small table needed a good cleaning.

This motel looks unloved. The young staff member was pleasant and the view is incredible but they are the only redeeming features. Extremely basic motel. The laundry did not work and the bed was terrible. We were supplied with a torn towel. As this was an expensive motel there was no value for money.

The entire property was staffed by one very nice young man but he was obviouslyoverwhelmed. When we first arrived, we were the only guests. The whole place is creepy. The restaurant is not open, the bar is not open. The laundry is inoperable. The rooms are small and poorly maintained. The yards are not maintained. The buildings aren't maintained.

Well.....this is why you should take a moment to read the reviews before you book. There must have been 30 units and we were the only ones there for 2 nights! When we arrived, there was no-one there. We went for a drive and rang until someone answered their phone so we could get a key. The room wasn't sparkling clean - the carpet had not been vacuumed. We went and bought disposable plates and cutlery as there was only cups. The bed was comfortable and the view......incredible.

We were very disappointed - the heater didn't work, there was something seriously wrong with the TV - only 1 channel worked, the rest of them were frozen (and were still frozen in exactly the same places the next morning - we have photos), AND it wouldn't accept casting from our devices. Also, there was a lot of black mould in the fridge, the toilet wasn't clean, and the shelf in the bathroom vanity was unusable due to dirt/rust (we also photos of these). Finally, no one answered the cell phone number that was provided, nor the landline, nor any of our texts. We stayed here earlier this year, and enjoyed our stay, which is why we returned, but unless we receive an apology and (at least) a partial refund, and an assurance that this won't happen again, we won't be returning. Sincerely, Evan and Virginia Sweney

This was a bizarre stay and quite eerie. I’m sure Manapouri thrives in the summer months but it was deserted in August. We arrived with the map taking us to the cafe (which looked as though it was closed down) rather than hotel, upon figuring out where the hotel was our key had been left out the front of reception which was closed. We found our room with no dramas, and whilst it initially appeared well presented, we soon noticed the bathroom was not clean (hair that was not ours on the floor and in the shower), mould in the shower, sand on the chair, and the quilt cover had not been cleaned either - one can only hope the sheets had been washed. The television did not work well either, with stations freezing or not being available at all - this may be due to the location but we were told about this if this is the case. During our time here we did not see a single person, however, did hear traffic pass every so often. Check out was easy, dropping the key off where we picked it up, but for 9am on a Monday morning we would’ve expected to see a staff member and this did not happen. Not worth the money we paid, and whilst the room did the job we would not stay again.
