The best host among all I’ve come across. Enquire about bed setting days before our stay. Follow up closely of what we need during our 3 days’ stay.
Bonus snooker table that we spent our night happily together.

John, the property owner, is an approachable and engaged person. He understands customers well and strives to excel. He succeeded. If I return to Queensland, NZ, I am booking at Manata Lodge.,

숙소 내부는 원룸 스타일이었고 주거하기 편리하였습니다. 집 주변의 환경은 마치 잘 관리된 공원 같아서 너무나 좋았습니다. 다시 가고 싶네요.

The view from the property was beautiful. The room was clean, large, nicely decorated and quiet. After a day of hiking we enjoyed the use of the hot tub.

Amazing accommodation
Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location - Apartment was clean, tidy and luxurious. On our road trip around NZ we stayed at 7 different locations and this would be by far our top pick. Private location with all the comforts for a relaxing stay. Only a short drive to a major shopping complex and other attractions around Queenstown - great location to base yourself from to explore... Our family loved it - we didn't want to leave this amazing place!!

We had an amazing time with our kids. Very spacious and warm in the two bedroom suite. Beautiful surroundings and grounds that our kids loved, and amazing friendly service. We checked in very late and the key was waiting for us and the room warm and cosy. We hope we can stay again.
