We spent a week at Manata Lodge and loved every minute. From our balcony, we could see Coronet Peak and the stunning Remarkables. The beautiful, manicured gardens made us feel like we were at a country retreat, far away from the cares of the world, rather than minutes away from Queenstown. The room was charmingly decorated and very well appointed... More

Everything was pristine, from the TV (w/ full movie channels), to the quality of the kitchen and bed. We took advantage of every amenity including the washing machine, dryer and... More
