    I always return for my city breaks at this lovely lodge. It has everything I need - Wi-Fi, free parking, and a well-equipped kitchen. The staff even helped me with bug spray on my first stay. I have no regrets!

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the owner's photography was incredible. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had a sitting area to escape the rain. The hotel facilities were great, including the open fireplace in the foyer and the tea/coffee station in the dining room. The location was perfect - quiet and with stunning views, but still a short drive into town for meals.

    Nothing that we didn't like.

    The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the mountains or sea. Privacy is guaranteed, perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet. The owner, Neil, provides excellent service and is very friendly. The food served at the lodge is delicious and prepared with locally sourced fresh produce.

    Felt like part of the family, no reason to complain.

    I had an amazing stay at this lodge. The location was breathtaking, with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. The rooms were beautifully appointed and had all the modern amenities. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was fantastic with a large rain-head shower. The service was exceptional, with the owner going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. a magical experience.

    The only downside was the limited dining options nearby.

    I always return to this amazing place. The staff guided me through currency exchange during my first visit. It has everything I need - Wi-Fi, free parking, kitchen, AC, laundry, and so much more. Can't wait for Easter!

    Abbiamo apprezzato molto la posizione tranquilla di questo hotel, situato in una zona residenziale di una bellissima città siciliana. Il parcheggio interno è stato davvero comodo per noi, in quanto abbiamo viaggiato con la nostra autovettura. Inoltre, il prezzo pagato per il soggiorno è stato molto conveniente considerando i servizi offerti. Abbiamo trovato le camere sufficentemente pulite e spaziose, con un balcone che ci ha permesso di godere di una vista piacevole. Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile durante tutto il nostro soggiorno.

    Non abbiamo riscontrato nessun problema particolare durante il nostro soggiorno.

    Sound Bar in the room: I felt like I was in my own personal movie theater with the 43-inch 4K TV and Sound Bar. The surround sound truly elevated my movie-watching experience, making it feel like I had front-row seats to the action. It was a cinematic delight!

    Breakfast menu: Limited options at breakfast, only one choice per person.

    I absolutely loved the way the lodge was decorated. The beautiful photographs on the walls really added a touch of elegance to the place. The common areas were cozy and inviting, especially the lobby fireplace where I enjoyed sitting and chatting with other guests. The lodge was also very accessible for senior people like myself, with all the amenities close by and easy to reach. It was a perfect setting for a relaxing and peaceful vacation.

    It would have been even better if the children working there had more knowledge about the local area. It would have been nice to have some recommendations for activities or attractions that are particularly suitable for senior visitors.

    manakau lodge in kaikoura exceeded our expectations yet again. the beautiful location and rural charm made our stay unforgettable. the friendly staff always helped us plan our days, and breakfast was a delight with a wide range of options. don't forget to bring an apple for merlin the donkey.

    Mosquitos and horse flies were a nuisance.

    We had an amazing xmas getaway at this cozy lodge. the host was so friendly and gave us great tips on where to eat and what to see. the view of the mountains was breathtaking and our room was so warm and comfy. We loved waking up to the delicious breakfast prepared by the host. It was the perfect start to our day. We also enjoyed having our own private sitting area outside where we could relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. Definitely a special place to spend the holidays!

    None at all! We had such a wonderful experience and couldn't fault a single thing.

    The decoration at this lovely B&B was absolutely charming, with beautiful works of art displayed throughout the lodge. The general areas were cozy and comfortable, providing a pleasant atmosphere to relax and socialize. As a senior woman, I found the accessibility of the hotel to be excellent, with easy access to all areas without any stairs or obstacles.

    It would have been even better if the children working there had provided more assistance and guidance specifically tailored for senior guests.

    The decor at Manakau Lodge is simply charming and inviting. The cozy fireplace in the lobby creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a cup of tea. The general areas of the lodge are well-maintained and offer a comfortable space to socialize with other guests. As a senior woman, I appreciated the lodge's accessibility, with easily navigable walkways and handrails in key areas, ensuring a safe and enjoyable stay.

    I would have loved to see more assistance from the children working there in terms of arranging transportation to nearby restaurants. While the lodge itself provides a peaceful retreat, it would have been convenient to have a dining option on-site, especially for senior guests who prefer not to venture too far from their accommodation.

    La propreté était impeccable, chaque détail était pris en compte pour assurer un séjour parfait. Les installations de l'hôtel étaient à la hauteur de mes attentes, en particulier le jacuzzi qui était très apprécié. L'emplacement de l'hôtel était idéal, à seulement quelques pas des principaux sites d'intérêt de cette ville magnifique. Le personnel était extrêmement aimable et serviable, fournissant des explications claires et utiles.
