Staff were very friendly, encouraged us to use facilities like spa and sauna which were top quality but the best part was the view, which is in sight from all rooms.
Google maps was slightly off with its directions, simply look out for yellow manata sign on street

The bed was very comfortable and it had a lovely view.
Check in was odd in that we had no idea where to go. Luckily, we pulled into the correct spot and found our key on a foyer table. Also didn’t easily find facilities that were onsite. It might be helpful to provide more details/map prior to arrival.

Everything! We have travelled the whole of NZ and this is the nicest accommodation and great value for money. Beautiful place, full self contained with a bathtub, little extras like salt and pepper, makeup wipes, liquid soaps. Beautuful views. Close to Queenstown Central and only 9km out of Queenstown main center. Good communication with host. Highly recommend ❤️

Great communication from proprietor, really helpful with an unexpected problem. Facilities were of high quality, exceptionally clean and very comfortable bed.
fantastic view of ski field.
Difficult to reach using public transport, still quite a walk from nearest bus stop. need your own transport, or anticipate high taxi fares.

The lodge boasted a very spacious room with a kitchenette. Bonus there were two toilets in our room. stunning views of the mountains and great shares amenities (bikes, books, sauna). Great for families.
The only things lacking were small items like. hairdryer and tissues.

Beautiful location in a beautiful lodge. Loved the pool and spa option. Large enough room for my partner and I.
Would have been nice if staff checked in on us in person but that’s it!

Stunning views. Nice rural setting yet a short drive to town centre.

Great location close to cycle routes and some lovely scenery, as well as being close enough to road and airport. A real bonus were the selection of cycles, and the spa and pool would have been great to use. The grounds are amazing and plenty of space to chill out if you are there for a couple of days.
The Pavilion room, which is well equipped for occupants with disabilities, sits under another room. The result can be a lot of heavy footfall from upstairs occupants. However, the most disappointing thing was that the heat exchanger for the upstairs room is placed directly above the bed in the Pavilion room - so all you can hear at night is the equivalent of a washing machine starting and stopping. This completely detracted from an otherwise great stay - shame.

Amazing location and grounds, including clear and private mountain views. Excellent facilities, with access to a sauna, pool and hot tub, as well as the use of mountain bikes. The apartment was clean and warm, and the bathroom included underfloor heating.
Bare minimum of utensils, like pots/pans, knives and cutlery, and no cooking oil, provided. Apartments should be self-contained, and provisioning for the kitchen is one area for improvement - although the bed and towels were high quality and very comfortable.

Stunning location as we wanted to be in a quiet location close to the Shotover River so we could get in some morning walks.
The room was very comfortable and spacious.
Nice room with beautiful views of the Remarkable’s at night with all the lights on fir night skiing.
I would recommend Manata Lodge as a beautiful 5 star property to stay at and enjoy some time relaxing time in Queenstown.

Everything was to our liking and would love to stay here again in the future.
