Only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to spend at home. I think you need at least 1 full day to enjoy all the facilities in the house. If I ever visit queenstown again, will definitely stay in this house. ##### jaskaran Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Sep 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a1f122a1-d332-40c9-b729-67d6d43fbc31-1757171956442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a580ad25-8e38-47f9-8f2f-1792a23bf265-1757171956528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8a92a1b0-3441-44ba-b39a-df70618241d4-1757171956888.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jonathan Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely property - spotlessly clean.

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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c4f4d717-e1d1-49cc-a56c-dd14adb58da8-1757120350879.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4b20158-f93d-488b-9748-0883bf83d191-1757120370382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38d78047-345a-4e3e-92b4-2497d759c8e1-1757120362340.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Nov 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The best host among all I’ve come across.
