Stunning property with a stunning outlook. Host was very welcoming which made our quick stay very comfortable. Close enough to town, yet far enough to feel private and relaxing. Highly recommend.

Warmest NZ hospitality!

John was a fantastic host. Even though my daughter and I only spent one night, everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. He was warm, gracious, and a wonderful example of New Zealand hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning!

Stayed twice at Manata at beginning and end of our trip. Loved that Manata had all the amenities we needed. It was super clean and quiet and had everything we needed and we loved our visits from Oscar the resident cat! Thanks very much John. We will be back again one day!

The check-in process could improve, I didn't receive any check-in notifications as stated in the booking information, however once I contacted the owner, it was easy peasy. The property was super nice and updated, with a pool and hot tub. We stayed in the handicap accessible room and I've never stayed in a more accommodating place for upscale accessibility! We wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a fabulous family stay in the 2 bedroom apartment at Manata Lodge. Our adult family gathered from 3 different destinations. The surroundings were park like, the apartment and staff were very welcoming and we highly recommend this accommodation for a relaxing, peaceful stay. We made use of the pool, sauna and there was a spa as well. Our son (ex chief) cooked beautiful meals for us, using the kitchen and the BBQ and we all enjoyed Oscar, the cat, sharing the love! Thank you Manata Lodge. We will return.

Every thing was fine, nice room, nice hotel just a bit expensive. But that may have been because it was in Queenstown.

Excellent property. 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.
