Manakau Lodge

Official Rating

‘Cosy Lodge Surrounded By Stunning Natural Beauty’

Manakau Lodge sits on five acres in the midst of mountains and groves of Manuka trees and enjoys panoramic views of the South Pacific. Despite the serenity of its surroundings the lodge is not completely isolated with the restaurants and shops of Kaikoura township a convenient ten minutes away. The purpose-built lodge rooms are constructed from New Zealand rimu, a native timber prized for its rich natural beauty and offer decks where you can sit out and take in the natural beauty. The guest lounge is a great place to spend the evenings in front of its roaring fire while the lodge dining room offers the perfect setting to enjoy hot and cold breakfast options and a special two or three-course Table d’Hôte dinner prepared using fresh local ingredients.

In Our Opinion

‘This a great place for walkers and nature lovers with the lodge being just a stone’s throw from some great wilderness walks and minutes from beaches and coastal reserves.’

Lodge dining room
Enjoy a two or three-course Table d’Hôte dinner menu and a selection of cereals, baked goods and hot dishes for breakfast, all served in the comfortable lodge dining room.
