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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

If there's nowhere else then this will do - just!
This is a motel that is still in the 70s sadly. VERY average rooms and 2nd worst I have ever stayed in. Bed was OK if a little soft and sheets and towels decent too. But the fixtures and fittings all past their use by date. At least the shower gave off a decent water flow but the shower curtain is too short so the bathroom floor gets wet. But the Motel putting a sign up saying dont flood the bathroom is therefore a joke as you have little option due to their choice of curtain.

The view is fantastic. The amenities and options that the booklet in the room says are available are not. The restaurant is closed. The buffet breakfast doesn’t exist. The toaster was filthy. The beds are well past their use by date.Lumoy and big dips. The fire extinguisher is out of date, last check on it done 2015.
