Summary: Every thing was fine, nice room, nice hotel just a bit expensive. But that may have been because it was in Queenstown.
irma Dec 3, 2025 01:23:46 PM
Summary: Spotless and amazing view. Very peaceful
Hannah Nov 16, 2025 07:48:11 AM
Summary: Amazing location, super easy set up and overall great value. Thanks for having us!
Anthony Oct 30, 2025 05:57:23 AM
Summary: Delightful lodge, awesome location. Everything was very clean, tidy and well maintained. Perfect spot for a Queenstown trip.
Fanny Oct 12, 2025 02:14:51 PM
Summary: 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!
Stacey Oct 4, 2025 04:39:38 AM
Summary: The house was spectacular with the most stunning views from every room. Could not recommend this location enough. Will definitely be back.
Lim-Ghec Sep 29, 2025 02:15:00 PM
Summary: Good facilities and loved the pool! Thank you!
jaskaran Sep 28, 2025 03:36:42 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
Michael Sep 6, 2025 08:36:38 AM
Summary: 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!
