Lakeview Cafe & Bar

Fiordland & Southland


The motor inn's cafe serves substantial meals (pizzas, schnitzels, venison stew and a token vegie dish) with a generous side order of lake views from the front lawn. The adjacent bar is well located for a drink as you sigh over Lake Manapouri flushing pink with the setting sun.
