Manata Homestead & Lodge

Wonderful location, looking up at Coronet peak one way, and the Remarkables the other way, and close to both ski fields. We were in Queenstown, but didn’t have to deal with the traffic on a daily basis. The sun streams into the apartment. Good comfortable bed. The best shower I have experienced, when not at home. Exceptional communication from the owners and most helpful.

1 bedroom apartment: Great location, amazing views on a clear day, room was warm, large and very comfortable. Nice quiet stay, loved the hot tub and the cool resident cat Oscar paid us a visit.

The deck was extremely icy, which was hard to see, perhaps a small sign to warn of this would be good. The heat pump also has a continuous whine, which may be annoying to anyone staying for longer.

Well appointed. Comfortable. Hot tub and towels provided. Easy sign in.

Sauna did not work - unless I got it wrong! Would have been good to have been able to choose which apartment to stay in. Found ours a little closed in.

Clean, comfortable and peaceful.

Very beautiful surroundings. The nearby shopping centre is less than a 10-minute drive away. The room is spacious. The backyard garden is amazingly beautiful.

ロケーション 七夕に天の川、満喫できました

民宿风景不错，还有可爱的小猫猫🐱

We only stayed one night and wished we could of stayed for more. The apartment was clean, cosy and warm with a view of the mountains and John was easy to communicate with. I would recommend staying here if you want to experience a different part of Queenstown.

Huge place with excellent mountain views. The washer dryer was super convenient. Also very clean and auper quiet.

Location was great and facilities were everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the unit was clean and tidy.

Lovely location, very clean and spacious.

Room had beautiful big windows looking out onto the mountains - but as a shared area by other 2 units there was someone in the morning sitting within metres of those windows and able to look directly into our room. Perhaps could provide seperate areas for the other units out the front of those as was complete lack of privacy for that particular room.

Loved our stay here. The room is lovely with spectacular views of the mountain. The apartment has everything you could need including plenty of kitchen utensils and tea and coffee. The location is also great, you’re just out of main Queenstown but very close to all the shops, and to some lovely walking trails. The staff we bumped into were all lovely too, very happy to help and provide us with fresh towels etc. We were also lucky enough to be welcomed by Oscar the cat. He showed us round the room and in particular the fridge. As per the guestbook request, he may be persistent but don’t feed him. He is happy to settle on the sofa with you for a movie instead. Not a negative but just note that the pool is understandably closed in winter, it’s not overly clear when booking however. The rest of the facilities are open though.

That we couldn’t stay longer!

This accommodation is near everything without the over inflated prices of Queenstown and Arrowtown. We were upgraded to the two bedroom apartment and it was fantastic. There is everything in it you would need, full kitchen including dishwasher. Underfloor heating in parts and plenty of other heating to keep you warm. The living space was very comfortable and spacious. We also loved the bed! The views from the apartment were just so beautiful. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back.

The property and surroundings are gorgeous. Free mountain bikes to use while there and plenty of tracks to ride or walk john is very welcoming and generous with his time

You would need a car to drive in and around Queenstown

山景超级棒 房间面积大 还有一只猫咪Oscar 非常粘人有灵性

马桶和炊具都老旧了

Bed was so comfy, the outdoor area and location is stunning and so relaxing. Great little kitchen area not that we used it much.

TV was hard to use and couldn't get it to stream or connect. Upstairs room was noisy and not soundproofed so we were kept awake just with them walking around.

Beautiful place. Gorgeous gardens. Comfortable accomodation. So clean and welcoming. Only stayed one night before flying out but very happy with everything. Took a moonlit walk and loved that torches and lamps were available in the reception for us.

Everything was great. Just wish we had been there longer.

Stunning location. So calm and relaxing but so close to so many things. Convenient and tranquil. Comfortable and spotless. Highly recommend a stay here.

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Manata Homestead & Lodge. John is a super friendly and thoughtful host. The true star of the house is Oscar absolutely adorable and would come lie down right next to our legs while we relaxed. The apartment was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Stepping outside, we were greeted by a beautiful lawn, stunning mountain views, and total peace and quiet. We truly loved every moment here. Highly recommended!

Fabulous place. The house was amazing and the grounds are beautiful. John was very accommodating as we booked last minute and arrived quite late. He couldn't do enough for us during our stay as well. It was perfect for our travelling in and out of Queenstown and the pool, hot tub and sauna were a nice bonus. We would definitely go back. Thanks

Amazing place. John was very helpful and drove us back to the airport. The facilities are fantastic.

Beautifully maintained and located close to the airport.

조용한 전원 풍경. 낡았지만 관리가 잘 되어 주인의 애정이 느껴지는 공간. 진짜 좋은 공간에 오면 아무것도 하지 않아도 시간이 잘 간다. 이곳이 그런 숙소였다. 어차피 렌트하신다면 굳이 시내에 나가지 말고 여기서 몇 박 하시면서 쉬세요. 저희는 일박만 한게 너무 아쉬웠어요. 언젠가 다시 온다면 최소 2박 이상 묵고 싶네요. 있을거 다 있고 관리 잘 되고 부킹닷컴을 통한 메세지 응답도 빠릅니다.

Beautiful garden setting.

Bathroom sink a pedestal style, we like a bit of space around the sink for toiletries.

The stay at Manata was wonderful! I will definitely recommend it and will be back! The views of Coronet Peak and the other mountains around Manata Homestead and Lodge were beautiful. The room was lovely and clean, and beds were very comfortable!

Nothing.

Absolutely fabulous place, John was a great host. Stunning views, quiet, clean, great pool and hot tub.

All was fabulous.

This was a superb stay. Everything was just superb. Quiet location with stunning views, not too close to town, which is good. So definitely need a car to get there and back into town. Parking provided.

Nothing to dislike.

A very beautiful house.

No particular issues. However, it is recommended to arrive before sunset, as you might miss the house if you drive past too quickly; arriving after sunset may make it a bit inconvenient to find your way around.

Spacious and clean. Quiet location.

公共區域有提供游泳池、桑拿，不過我們沒帶泳衣沒有使用，還有提供洗衣機、烘衣機，對自助旅行的我們非常方便，房間浴室有提供浴缸，泡澡後非常舒服，床墊軟硬適中好睡，房間外的景色很漂亮，晚上可以在戶外觀星，不過這是共用區域要注意不影響其它房客。

旅社的入口處太難找了，我們跟著google map來回兩次還是沒找到，後來我們將汽車暫停在路邊停車區域後，走路尋找信箱地址確定入口後，再回頭開車上去，預定的房客建議在天黑前抵達，避免花時間尋找入口。

Convenient just out of town. Large lawn area. Quite. Very suitable for a group

No complaints

The sauna, the pool, the lovely room and the gardens were beautiful too. Also, so considerate the use of washing machine and dryer.

If I had to say something it was our outdoor space shared felt like we couldn’t really use it and also the people upstairs I could hear in the early hours of the morning/very late at night but loved the place it didn’t matter. Thank you

Everything. Convenient. Quiet. Comfortable. Well styled. Lots of extras.

The parking was a bit wonky but we made it work.

Exceptionally clean. Close to Queenstown. Great pool, jacuzzi and sauna Amazing views

Loved the quiet location and our room was very spacious. Appreciated the access to the washing machine. Very nice bathroom and powder rooms.

Such a peaceful spot! The larger studio was really comfortable with beautiful views, a nice kitchen, and even a friend cat visitor! Super easy to check in and we appreciated communal facilities including a nice garden to roam around in.

Liked the location and the views. Also a plus to have a swimming pool on site.

No fresh milk in the fridge we do not like UHT milk jiggers. Difficulty opening the main bedroom rear door into the garden.

スタッフがフレンドリーで親切だった。 無料のサウナやスパ、バイクの貸し出し等サービスが非常に充実していた。

So clean, warm, cozy, and inviting place. Pool in summer months, sauna and hot tub/spa. Owners are amazing. We missed meeting them, but recieved a message thanking us after leaving! Electric blankets on bed, towel warmer, and heated tiles in bathroom! Perfect in winter, and the views of the snow ripped mountains just set the scene beautifully. The location is just far enough from the crowds in Queenstown, with local shops just down the road for all your necessities.

There is NOTHING you can not like about this place. It is perfect 👌

Didnt have the breakfast but the stay location and everything invloved was beautiful.

Nothing kt was very beautiful

Comfy bed.

There was no breakfast.

Oscar the cat was great, he came in and slept in the bed with us and it was lovely

Nothing my stay was great

Beautiful views, privacy, perfect location, great amenities, comfortable bed and a super helpful host

Spacious, location

Small insects in the toilet even though all the windows are closed

Stayed here for three nights and had a great experience❤️ The room was spacious, clean, and well equipped. Beautiful open views with a large grassy area outside. Oscar the cat was very friendly and made the stay even more enjoyable. Would happily stay again.

It was nice to be away from the busy chaos of downtown Queenstown, Close to the airport, yeah we felt like we were on a small farm. A very relaxing stay, the property is also welcomed by a cat named Oscar who is wonderful. If you like cats you will not be lonely. He will hang out with you.

Everything was great!

Great location outside of town but in easy reach (10 min from the airport), spacious accommodation (bedroom, living/kitchen area, large BR, balcony with great views), very clean and well kept (inside the accommodation and the grounds), highly recommended and much preferable over the standard small hotel rooms that come at the same cost

One needs to have a rental car to reach the accommodation

This is a gret option if.you need comfortable space a night before flight home or a base for one day trips from Queenstown. It's like your own flat.

Absolutely gorgeous views of the mountains as well as the beautifully landscaped grounds. Linens and apartment are totally unscented as expected. Kitchen small but adequate for our needs. Would gladly return for a longer stay.

It was a really beautiful place to stay for a couple of days. The views of Coronet Peak was stunning. It would've been a lot more beautiful during spring where flowers would bloom everywhere. We stayed there in September. Also it was really quiet - peaceful. Oscar, the owner's cat, visited us! He will respect you if you respect him... he didn't like being moved (he took over my seat space on the couch!) but he was gentle. A very cute cat!

Can't think of anything negative. Maybe the light switches were a bit confusing!

Begrüßung durch den Hauskater Oscar. Schönes Grundstück mit toller Aussicht auf die Berge und ruhige Lage. Zimmer waren ausreichend groß. Waschmaschine, Pool und sogar Fährräder oder ein Regenschirm.

We thought the facilities were great

Our toilet in our room kept bubbling when we anotrher seem to flush thier toilet

We loved the property, fantastic views, clean, comfortable & great communication!

客房设施非常完善，整洁度也很高，最惊艳的是门口有雪山森林草地，整个环境都非常的私密安静，我们总共住了三个晚上，第二个晚上猫咪小管家奥斯卡来蹭我们的床一起睡觉，实在是太热情了❤️

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!

Comfortable, convenient loved the hot tub

No cupboards for clothing

The house was spectacular with the most stunning views from every room. Could not recommend this location enough. Will definitely be back.

Good facilities and loved the pool! Thank you!

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.

Beautiful grounds and everything is so well looked after Oscar❤️

John the owner was awesome. So friendly and we loved the resident cat Oscar.

There was NOTHING to not like.

It was amazing - will definitely head back one day.

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!

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.

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful and convenient location. Very spacious and comfortable apartment with all the amenities we needed

Picturesque location with great facilities for practicality and leisure. The owner was incredibly accomodating as we suffered a bout of the flu that required us to stay a couple of extra days. This made the ordeal a lot easier for us. Would happily recommend this location to anybody travelling to Queenstown

The heater in the lounge was a bit noisy but we can live with that

Picturesque surroundings in an idyllic spot. Warm and cozy with all the amenities needed. The Spa pool was a treat after a big day of biking (an excellent biking trail is right by the property)! Host was super responsive, went above and beyond to help us and make our experience as best as it could be. Definitely coming back.

Amazing! John was so welcoming and friendly. The location is beautiful with amazing views on both sides. I found a nice walking track. You're close to Frankton shops with everything. The beds were comfortable, immaculately clean. The spa was great even in winter and it was super easy to use as a single! Will definitely come back. I accidentally left a jacket and I was notified immediatly and able to collect later that day coming through.

The Views were amazing, and a great photo opportunity on the swings!! There was plenty of space between other guests, so didn’t feel like we were in each others pockets.

I didn’t realise it was so far from Queenstown, but that didn’t matter to us as we had a car.
