One of our friends recommended Manata Lodge to us and I am very glad that we stayed there. The place is superbly equipped and beautifully furnished. The surrounding is awesome and it was fantastic watching the sunset over the mountains during our evening BBQ-s.
Don't be put off by the location which is a short drive from Queenstown centre. Fabulous place, superb service. Totally would recommend it.

We have just returned from our honeymoon and want to share this amazing place that was recommended to us, as the perfect place for our honeymoon - which indeed it was!!! It was the best 2 nights that we spent in Queenstown, due to being so close yet far away enough! The views complimented the magnificent gardens for a perfect getaway feel.

Our large room was tastefully decorated, and spacious. However, we did just enjoy taking the view in from our personal patio!! Compliments to our host Phil who was really amiable and organised everything to perfection. His recommendation for a mobile massage was thoroughly enjoyable.

Beware your gps and definitely look up the location before driving here! I was led on a goose chase by the gps. Clean large rooms. Lovely gardens. Bit far from town but very comfortable place to stay. Free wifi.

Our group stayed here last summer and took over the lodge. It was wonderful! The lodge was clean, comfortable with easy access to Queenstown and the local vineyards. We loved the location and the views! Phillip is an excellent host and made sure every aspect of our stay was perfectly organized. We love the Manata Lodge and plan to stay there again next year when we return to NZ!
