馬納考旅舍(Manakau Lodge)

We stayed at Manakau Lodge for a long overdue girls trip! It was an amazing base while we explored the sights of Kaikoura. A lovely luxurious space to unwind after our busy days exploring. Very well equipped kitchen for our nights in. Warm and cosy with a stunning outlook. The coastal walk was amazing and the whale watch experience didn't disappoint. Lovely restaurants. It was so incredible we are returning in November!! Thanks Kim and Janice

We stayed at Manakau Lodge for a family wedding. Janice and Kim are fabulous hosts. Nestled between the ocean and the mountains the setting could have not been more perfect. We had a crisp, cool day for the wedding and retreated into the warmth of the Lodge. Janice and Kim connected us with local suppliers for cake and catering support. We highly recommend the Manakau Lodge and will be back. Thanks guys

Immaculately presented slice of heaven with spectacular hosts and unrivaled tranquility. Everything from the scenery, hosts, and amenities were just perfect. We were fortune enough to get married in this breathtaking location over Matariki weekend. The lodge is spacious, luxurious, and cosy, and was the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family, and for us to relax and unwind for a few days before returning to the big smoke. We can't wait to return with our furry friend.

The beautiful Manukau Lodge features highly appointed rooms and fixtures. The accommodation is very comfortable with heatpumps throughout and a fabulously large open fire in the main living area. Original artworks complete the ambience. We were fortunate to utilise the Lodge as a wedding venue at Matariki 2022 with Jan and Kim being gracious hosts. Nothing was a problem and they facilitated contact with a number of other Kaikoura businesses and service providers. The venue itself was superb with the snow capped Kaikoura ranges presenting a wonderful backdrop to the west and the Pacific ocean to the east. Fabulous walks abound with a number of guests seeing migrating whales from their coastal walk. Other sightseeing included a trip with Kim into back country to see historic sights. We had a fantastic and memorable experience with family and friends and cannot recommend Manukau Lodge highly enough.

Prachtig, zeer compleet en stijlvol ingericht huis, waar je je meteen thuis voelt. Gelegen op 5 minuten rijden van Kaikoura. Als je van rust houdt is dit een prachtige uitvalsbasis voor de bezienswaardigheden in de regio. Warm welkom met gevulde koelkast voor luxe ontbijt.

We stayed at Manakau Lodge for 4 nights in mid March. Two families with young children. The lodge was perfect for us. We had plenty of space with the 4 spacious bedrooms each with their own ensuite. The kitchen had everything we needed just like home away from home. We had the coffee machine going every morning. The kids loved playing on the deck and excitedly toddling over to see if the sheep were there by the fence. Kim and Janice were generous and kind hosts and were always available if we needed them for anything. With its slightly elevated position we enjoyed both mountain and sea views, and loved the rural setting with no neighbours! And only 10 min drive to Kaikōura. We can't wait to go back. Thank you Janice and Kim. You're doing a great job.

This is a magical place to stay. Situated between the sea and the mountains, the views from the lodge are amazing. The lodge itself is a delightful, a well designed space with superb bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen invites even the most reluctant chef to try out the facilities. You do need to be aware that Kaikoura is 15 km away and a car is essential.

We loved Manakau Lodge! This stylish accomodation is beautiful, cozy, complete, relaxing, just perfect! Loved that I could bring my dog with me, we enjoyed the views and the sunset behind the mountains. We will be back!
