Manata Homestead & Lodge

蠻好的一個airbnb，主要賣點是有個巨大的花園，有很多果樹，還有一些遺棄的葡萄園。有一衹貓 Oscar 懶羊羊曬太陽。夜晚可以看到南半球整個星空和銀河系。 缺點就是沒有什麼人來照顧，一切靠自己，行程好幾天就最後一天早上見到房東 John 和他幾個 staff。

房間內實際一切和攜程上看到的一模一樣，很美很棒！衞生也很好，比想象中好多了。唯一的問題是浴室龍頭出水量太小，請管家來看了説出水量就衹能是這麼大的😂。洗澡可以但沒法洗頭。

環境和房間都絕了！簡直是住進了一座私人莊園，有加温泳池，巨大的庭院草坪，還有野果子。我強烈推薦同胞們過來體驗一晚，他不是鬧市區裏的那種旅館，而是體驗當地人真正的愜意生活。

I had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Everything was absolutely spotless. John could not have been more helpful

John, the property owner, is an approachable and engaged person. He understands customers well and strives to excel. He succeeded. If I return to Queensland, NZ, I am booking at Manata Lodge.,

Great communication from Manata from the initial booking to checking in. A great location just out of town to enjoy the beautiful views but close enough should you want to head into Queenstown. A short drive to local supermarket to make use of the great cooking facilities provided in the apartment. The onsite laundry was very handy as well. Would definitely recommend a stay here. The airport is not to far away as well.

Great location and enough space for 24 of us for a special celebration. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room in each guest bedroom. Didn’t use spa or oool as winter time but imagine it would be fantastic in summertime. Loved the fire in lounge. Thoroughly recommend it.

Cannot rate this place highly enough!!! We had the best stay here for a family reunion, we had grandparents, parents, kids and babies. It suited everyone with the different rooms/apartments and with the pool, sauna and spa to the pool table and reading nook there was something for everyone, cannot wait to go back there! We will be back!

We had the best 9 days here. We were 6-7 families from AU/NZ who came together for a long awaited family wedding of 20 pax. We hired the entire lodge and had our ceremony and reception on site. John the owner was great always checking to see if we needed anything else and accommodating in any way possible. The lawns were great for all of the children to run around and play. The facilities were awesome including a spa and a sauna as well as a pool table/darts, table tennis in the main lodge and bikes. The lodge itself is close to the the river and great for walks or bike rides as well as being a short drive to the supermarket. Would definitely recommend as a quiet getaway for people not wanting to be right in Queenstown or for large groups wanting a place to house everyone
