Located on a beautiful five-acre property set against a scenic mountain backdrop, Manakau Lodge offers luxury within close proximity of exceptional marine life. Set amongst groves of manuka trees, it offers a tranquil getaway just a short drive from Kaikoura.
Its four spacious guestrooms are elegantly furnished, and offer incomparable views: on one side, the stunning snow-capped mountains, and on the other, an ocean panorama with superb sunrises. There are two room categories, lodge rooms and the slightly larger deluxe rooms, which have king or super-king beds, fine cotton linens, woollen blankets, two arm chairs, a television, writing desk and a modern bathroom with a walk-in monsoon shower. Deluxe rooms have the added luxury of a free-standing bath. All rooms have wireless internet, USB charging points and an iPad for guest use.
The lodge is primarily bed and breakfast, offering a selection of freshly-prepared pastries, croissants, fruits, eggs, smoked salmon and a hearty Kiwi grill. For those heading out on early-morning marine excursions, a breakfast-to-go can be arranged. For guests wishing to stay at the lodge for dinner, a choice of cheese and supper platters can be ordered in advance, served with the region’s finest wines.
