This was out third stay and we found everything as good as always. We have stayed in many motels/hotels around the world and this motel rates as one of the best. The size of the rooms alone are unusually large and well set out and the clean! You cant help but feel comfortable. The rooms are well set inside and outside so you have a sense of privacy and when you step out side your unit you are presented with a lovely lawn,trees and garden area,very unusual in motels today where most are bland and...

Arrived at Millbrook to a welcoming smile as though you were been welcomed home. Millbrook is a peaceful haven where your mind from the busyness of a big city is calmed within hours of arriving. Close to Arrowtown & Queenstown. there are many trails for you to walk which we did everyday. There are shuttles to and from Queenstown & Arrowtown but if you want to explore the vast Otago you need a vehicle. we explored as far as Nasby curling capital of NZ and well worth a visit, along the way...

Manata lodge is set on quiet peaceful grounds just a 5min drive from the airport between Queenstown and Arrowtown. It is located near the historic cycle/walk bridge crossing the shotover river so it is very close(400m) to the Queenstown cycle trail network, so ideal if you are into cycling, running or walking.
The room was luxurious and above what we were expecting. There was daily house keeping and a tennis court to to use too. The owner located nearby in another residence also took care and...
