Everything was clean. John was nice and helpful. We loved the outside picturesque environment and enjoyed walking around. The beds were clean and comfy. We enjoyed the stay at Manara Lodge very much.

John couldn’t have been more obliging . We throughly enjoyed our stay. The amenities were superb, lovely place to stay with a family .very peaceful and quiet surroundings. Only complaint was the weather !! I would full recommend this place to stay .

just an AWESOME place, quite, Clean Great Host's, great facility's

Very nice spot, close to everything but far enough away that you feel away from everything!

John, the owner/host was great. Exceptionally clean facilities. 15 minutes from town centre.

Super comfortable! The room, amenities, access to washer and dryer, friendly communication (and dog), really cosy and warm inside, small and effective kitchen with everything we needed. Beautiful bathroom and tub and we also noticed tennis rackets we could use which would have been ideal if we stayed longer. Everything was so thoughtful! Really great, would definitely consider staying again - thank you!

Beautiful & comfortable property but water pressure from shower is much too low.

Beautiful big room, with kitchen, lounge, bathroom and the bathroom had undertile heating and a proper heated towel rail .. bed was a bit hard for us but the owners fixed that with a quilt and blanket on top of the mattress fir us 😁 The property is spectacular with manicured lawns places to sit and the views of mountains was at every turn 😁 So all in all ... brilliant place to stay

Low water pressure meant toilet didn’t flush properly and not consistent temperature in shower. Quiet setting and lovely location.

This place is absolutely gorgeous and is located in the most beautiful valley in the Queenstown area. It is the perfect romantic getaway from the touristy main-Queenstown centers. You get spectacular panoramas of the valley, the darkest skies to see the milky way, all in the comfort of an elegant country home. The best hotel we stayed in our long NZ honeymoon without a doubt! If you are also thinking about Queenstown being crowded, too busy/loud, not enough parking, and want to get away from that be close enough to visit, this is your spot.

We had a lovely time. Very happy we listened to online reviews and stayed 5 days. It was best part of our stay. Great walks all around and well located. For Queenstown Arrowtown and airport.

It was a lovely stay. The property is a manicured beauty. The apartment was comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed. I would love to stay there again

The lodge is in a beautiful setting and the hosts are delightful. There are books, games and mountain bikes supplied and loads of outdoor settings to sit back and enjoy the view. Highly recommended.

WOW, a gem.... location was amazing, the guesthouse was unbelievable. Although we were in the cheapest unit, it didn’t feel like it, we had an amazing time and will definitely recommend this property. If you do choose the cheapest unit- Pavilion, you are at the mercy of the people above you. There were a couple of people above us, and the noise of the floors were hectic, we politely asked them to not run or play with the ball upstairs, they did stop, but you can hear every step. It was the best accommodation in our 10 days in the South Island.

Gorgeous, clean apartment with lots of space for a couple. A walking path across the road.

The setting was stunning. The room was spacious and spotless. There was an assortment of activities to do ~ tennis etc.

We enjoyed everything about the home. Very warm when we arrived and always very clean. Beautiful views and very quiet. The only thing that dissappointed us was the water pressure in the shower. Especially after a long day out we really looked forward to a shower and we couldnt enjoy it sadly.

We stayed here for 5 nights in July 2018 in the 2 bedroom suite. The location was fantastic being about 10 mins by car to the foot of The Remarkables Ski fields, and only 5 minutes away from the local shopping centre which had a Countdown (Woolworths) and several cafes, restaurants and retail shops. Being a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (10 years, and 5 years), Manata Lodge was a great alternative to staying in a hotel where we would have been cramped for space. The grounds were gorgeous and the views of the mountains were amazing. There was a funny smell (like off milk) when we opened the door to the suite, but it didn't stay around. We couldn't find the source of it.

Lovely accomodation in a lovely tranquil garden setting. Attention to detail in the apartment made it more like home. Detail such as heated towel rails, heated bathroom floor tiles, stair lights and lots of adjustable lighting made it easy to set the mood you wanted. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. About 12 mins out of Queenstown main shopping area which for us with a car was not an issue.

A very quiet, clean establishment a few km out of Queenstown. Gorgeous garden setting, stunning views. The hotel had a variety of sporting equipment available for guest use. The location is a terrific base for mountain biking and tramping.

Everything was perfectly clean and very comfortable. Wish we were staying longer. We had a little difficulty finding our entry door since it was on the back side of the building, instruction were not that clear and there was no sidewalk leading there. In the morning we had to roll our suitcases across the wet grass.

Very pretty location & a warm & comfortable lodge.

I would definitely stay here again. A beautiful location and excellent amenities.

Large comfortable apartment with private porch. Beautiful grounds. Walking distance to hiking and biking along shotover river. Very nice hosts.

The key and instructions were left for us and we loved the place immediately. It was quiet, and there are only four units, so it is never going to be crowded. The gardens are beautiful, and we loved every minute of our stay.

Comfortibale, convenient, self contained and nice place.
