Possum Lodge

Fiordland & Southland


Nestled into forest near the lake, Possum Lodge is old-fashioned in the best kind of way. There's basic cabins, time-worn motel units, enviably green campervan sites, laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen.

Peace, quiet and a short walk to the riverbank: what more could you need? Oh that's right, unlimited wi-fi...done.
