We cannot speak highly enough of Sarah, Warren and Ethel and Manata Lodge. We were warmly welcomed by Sarah and as we strolled across the lawn Warren caught up with us to welcome and chat to us. The amenities are of the highest standard and we were very comfortable. It happened Warren and Ethel were hosting, free of charge, 10... More

We stayed at Manata Lodge recently having done the Otago Rail Trail. Our stay was just amazing. The Lodge is so beautiful and every little detail has been considered, from underfloor heating to georgeous showers and and a bed fit for a queen. The views are superb, and the people are wonderful.

My wife, son and I recently had an incredible two night stay at Manata Lodge with hosts Warren and Ethel White. The lodge, location and hospitality were spectacular. We highly recommend Manata Lodge. We were welcomed like we were family and look forward to returning again to this fantastic place.

Very clean and comfortable, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Beautiful grounds, quiet and peaceful, amazing views. Sarah the manager was very helpful. Easy to find. We stayed in the Wakatipu suite. Only one bike was working would be great to have the other one fixed as some lovely places to cycle eg lake Hayes. Would definitely stay again.

We were really blessed with the most perfect weather. Apartment had everything we needed, only thing we missed was a bath as we had our baby with... More

A two bedroom cottage that was warm, clean and comfortable. We loved how it was so peaceful and the outlook was stunning yet only... More
