Property Description
Manuka Lodge is the best hidden treasure ever! Tucked away in a dead end road surrounded by native bush this characteristic log chalet offers superb privacy. It has an outdoor spa and 2 large sunny decks with rustic furniture. Manuka Lodge is often used for wedding nights for it’s romantic and secluded location.
Manuka lodge is a pearl of a log cabin… with all the luxuries supplied from outdoor spa to dishwasher and a fantastic DVD selection to relax by on a rainy day. The living area is not big but cozy with a logfire and built-in fireguard. The chalet has a well equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, stove, big fridge/freezer etc. The downstairs bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a comfortable queensize bed and an extra ‘gaming’TV.
A second small bedroom offers a double bed. On the open mezzanine are a double, a single and a trundler. Manuka lodge can handle 6 adults max – just let us know if you want to bring children (max 3). The mezzanine opens up to a balcony, a great place to have your morning coffee.
The outdoor deck area is absolutely superb with, besides the spa, a rustic macracarpa table and bench and on the far deck another modern diningtable. 2 comfortable cape cod chairs can make you dream away… Plenty of space for sunbathing, just surrounded by private bush. Note that the spa is a bonus but not a given (due to unforseen circumstances it is not always operational). A track takes you down to Lulu’s creek – great for a little play on a hot day.
The fireguard and stairgates make this chalet very childfriendly.
Your group will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay.

Lovely chalet at Lyford
We and our friends greatly enjoyed staying in this comfortable, well-equipped chalet with lovely alpine bush views in an area we had never been to before. Beds were comfortable and the woodburner kept us warm. Enjoyed birds serenading us by day and star-watching while soaking in spa at night. Loved exploring the alpine environment.

An absolute MUST stay
We had the most wonderful time at Manuka Lodge. It was relaxing, comfortable and so well equipped-we could have happily stayed for longer and enjoyed the continuous birdsong in the morning and luxurious spa afternoons.
The hosts were so accommodating, and communication was a breeze. We chatted to a couple of the onsite people who were lovely and very helpful. We had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable, and the space was a dream. Coffees on the upstairs balcony and up on the forest chairs were heaven.
We will be back and have told every back home about this little slice of paradise! Big thanks to the hosts.

Just glorious!!
Manuka Lodge was absolutely divine! Perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. Listening to the pīwhakawhaka and korimako in the morning with coffee was magical and serene. One of the best getaways I've had, thank you!!!!

Property was in a fantastic location
It would have been nice to turn up to find some milk in the fridge. There was a darts board with no darts. The cottage was cute and warm. We were disapointed that there was a digger working all day Saturday. And we could not go on the alpine walks as the tracks were closed.
