Host Henry and his family were really friendly snd helpful - great experience visiting Possum Lodge ##### Rachel ### 6/10 Okay #### Claudia 4 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Basic place The location is amazing. Just to the back you can walk along the lake. Very basic place. The room I was in was ok but due to poor isolation. So noisy. I sneezed and people next door said bless you.

We stayed in a cabin which was away from the young campers and very quiet, but for a small place with a lot of people in it, it's very chilled. Awesome location to spend some time too. . ##### Grant Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 5 Mar 2024 Old fashioned.

Sadly only two small relaxing chairs not particularly comfy. Unfortunately there was a very strong curry smell which was not pleasant, we appreciate not the managers fault but other places have a sign saying do not cook fish, curry etc which this place needs. ##### Suzanne Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvonne 25 Aug 2025 ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karine 11 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un endroit paisible où on peut se poser en toute tranquillité.

La nature vous entoure , c'est super. ##### Karine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanne 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A good night's sleep We had a very nice 3-day stay in one of the cottages. It was very quite, and the beds were very comfortable with an electrical blanket. The cottage was quite well equipped and there was heating. We had a great trip to Doubtful Sound, which the lady at the reception helped us to book. Unfortunately, the weather was quite wet, and the cottage was a bit damp. We asked for an extra change of towels as they did not dry well in the cottage. We went to Te Anau for dinner as the local pub mostly seems to have fried food. We found a nice Indian Restaurant, and the Thai place in Te Anau was very busy. There was also a bakery in Te Anau that sold pies, including vegetarian pies. ##### Susanne Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emi 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was an amazing location and the facilities were really clean and organized.

We booked one of the family cottages - cottage 2. As others have noted, it’s rustic, yet charming. We felt it was a good size for the three of us and the amenities were good. Best part was the surrounds - very well maintained and beautiful garden, set amongst native trees and right next to the lake. We had afternoons where we just chilled outside. The Church and the local cafe were both 5 minutes walk away, and we frequented both and enjoyed our meals. Would happily recommend this to anyone that like to be off the beaten track a bit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pierre 17 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Très bien mais un peu vieillot Super bien situé, plage privée à 20 mètres, perdu dans les bois (route non goudronnée pour vernir). Super accueil, patron absolument adorable et très disponible. Appartement très bien équipé, mais vieillot au point de vu des sanitaires. ##### Pierre Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Royal Irish Yacht Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Irish-Yacht-Club-Hotels.0-l6177765-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Big Cypress Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Memphis-Hotels-Big-Cypress-Lodge.h12993388.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy Beach Hotel & Spa - ex Sentido](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larnaca-Hotels-Sentido-Sandy-Beach.h53329.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hafod Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels-The-Hafod-Hotel.h2302243.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Munich Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich-Hotels-Hilton-Munich-Airport.h9715.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Barry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Barry-Hotels.s50-0-d601592.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramla Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-Ramla-Bay-Resort.h897060.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d6069845--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nile hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Nile-Hotel.h40467993.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Frosini Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Frosini-Gardens.h55351674.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d621-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - North Riverside by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Amsterdam-Motorkade.h48566342.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Toyosu Premier Tokyo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Toyosu-BAYSIDE-CROSS-Tokyo.h44789632.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/lax/newcastle-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from London (LCY) to Newquay (NQY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/nqy/london-to-newquay) > > [Flights from Ballasalla (IOM) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/iom/gla/isle-of-man-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Holyhead (HLY) to Cardiff (CWL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hly/cwl/holyhead-to-cardiff) ### Packages > [Hampshire Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hampshire.d603237.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Den Helder](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Den-Helder.dx6851) > > [Visit Adelaide Central Business District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adelaide-Adelaide-Central-Business-District.dx6051337)
