Manata Homestead & Lodge

It was amazing - will definitely head back one day.

Nothing

Had a great stay at Manata Lodge and was entertained by Oscar the cat, who inspired me to go on safari due to his hunting skills. I most enjoyed sitting out on the patio apres ski as I could relax out in the warm sun. The hot tub was great too for additional relaxation. John the owner guided me to enjoy a scenic mountain bike ride along the Shotover river. I would stay here again due to the fact that it is away from the congestion around Queenstown but still close to the ski areas, dining, shopping and the airport.

This lodge thought of everything!! From the comfortable bed to the large kitchenette and across the french folding doors to the patio area...just magnificent! The view from the room was spectacular. It is slightly out of town so very quiet. The extra little things they added made the stay awesome! DVD`s, games, books, laundry, bicycles for use and helmets. The the cream on the top was for sure the HOT TUB!! They is also an outdoor pool, but we were there in winter so unusable. I can not give this hotel enough stars or recognition! Definitely stay here if you get the chance!

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful and convenient location. Very spacious and comfortable apartment with all the amenities we needed

Picturesque location with great facilities for practicality and leisure. The owner was incredibly accomodating as we suffered a bout of the flu that required us to stay a couple of extra days. This made the ordeal a lot easier for us. Would happily recommend this location to anybody travelling to Queenstown

The heater in the lounge was a bit noisy but we can live with that

Picturesque surroundings in an idyllic spot. Warm and cozy with all the amenities needed. The Spa pool was a treat after a big day of biking (an excellent biking trail is right by the property)! Host was super responsive, went above and beyond to help us and make our experience as best as it could be. Definitely coming back.

Amazing! John was so welcoming and friendly. The location is beautiful with amazing views on both sides. I found a nice walking track. You're close to Frankton shops with everything. The beds were comfortable, immaculately clean. The spa was great even in winter and it was super easy to use as a single! Will definitely come back. I accidentally left a jacket and I was notified immediatly and able to collect later that day coming through.

The Views were amazing, and a great photo opportunity on the swings!! There was plenty of space between other guests, so didn’t feel like we were in each others pockets.

I didn’t realise it was so far from Queenstown, but that didn’t matter to us as we had a car.

Very good location and quiet
