Holiday with friends
From the beginning communication with Guy (the host) was fantastic. Response time was almost immediate and instructions about our stay very thorough and clear. Guy went above and beyond helping me with any enquiries about activities, locations etc and also gave recommendations about restaurants, stores and much more . Being in a large group of 16 and away with 2 other families the sleeping options and configurations were endless and everyone was very comfortable as there was so much space in the houses. Accomodation was very clean and tidy on arrival with plenty of heating throughout the house on the very cold days / nights. The vehicles were an added bonus and were used on a daily basis and very much appreciated too. Only a short 5 minute drive to town the location was perfect and the views were incredible. It felt like a home away from home and we are definitely looking at making this a yearly holiday, we can’t thank you enough .

Best views of the lake. All the amenities you could ask for even 3 vehicles to use which came in very handy. We had 15 of us and there was more then enough space. close to town by car. Excellent place to stay for a large group, definitely would book and stay again.

Spectacular Views
Fantastic home that provided ample room and privacy for an extended family of 22. Incredible views and amenities in this double house that made us feel immediately at home. Guy was an excellent host and couldn’t be more helpful with all aspects of our stay. A wonderful week was enjoyed by all. The 3 Toyota Prados were icing on the cake to make this holiday thoroughly memorable.

Spectacular Location for Destination Celebration
After searching throughout New Zealand, 7 Manata was the best venue for our celebration. All 22 of us were able to stay at one property and have a dinner party on site with a fabulous view. Photos don't do it justice, you have to see the ever-changing light on Lake Wakatipu and the mountains. 7UP has a spacious kitchen and living room where we could all gather comfortably. The kitchen was well equiped with everything you need. The 3 Utes (4x4 Prados) were a huge bonus, making airport logistics and trip into town easy. We slept 22 but check with host, as the floorplan and bed configuration we had from the web was not up to date. 7LY, next door to 7UP, is more of a basic space. It does not have a living room space and the kitchen is not as well appointed. Three bedrooms share one bathroom. However, there was plenty of room for all guest in the common spaces in 7UP; Plan to hang out together there. Guy was incredibly gracious and helpful in our planning. He was extremely responsive and flexible. He accommodated our caterer and all of our requests. We would not hesitate to book again.

Hit the spot
Houses are beautiful. Guy was really easy to communicate with. A few issues that he was more than happy to assess moving forward. Related to the limited down time the property has and lack of honest responses i think. 7LY is not as nice as 7UP but with a couple of basic fixes and updates I think it'll be close and a nice hide away from the main house. Views are fantastic and entertaining areas are good too. Would stay again.

Amazing Stay
Amazing stay with an amazing host, location definitely boasts a stunning view. There are so many positives about this holiday house. One of the best features is the ability to house a large number, we had a total of 16 during our stay and still had spare rooms/beds. Well kept and clean location. The fact that 3 Toyota Prados were provided is actually amazeballs, really helped so much on our trip especially for our winter stay, we used them to head to the snowy mountains and into town. I would not under state the toiletries, all bathrooms came with the standards shampoo,conditioner,body wash. I believe everyone would have gotten 2 sets of towels (bath/hand/floor/etc), small things like this make the stay that much better because really you are on a holiday and unless you're getting hotel services, extra clean towels really make the experience that much better, mega appreciated, particularly for uses like the two spas available. Really large living space definitely suitable for large group.

Very Special
7 Manata really works for big groups with common and private areas. We were 3 families and 4 grandparents and 2 adults. The access to the vehicles together with the accommodation, and views, and location make this a very special package. We spent 2 weeks. Although it is a lot of money it actually works out to be excellent value for money and quite reasonable per person. Guy is a good host and 7 Manata lived up to expectation. We had a very memorable time.

We had the pleasure of staying at 7M for the past week for a family holiday in Queenstown. There was 22 of us ranging from grandparents to babies and the property was perfect for our group. The inclusion of the cars is amazing and takes the stress off relying on public transport. Check in and out process was very seamless and picking up and dropping the cars off was very easy. Guy is a wonderful host, very accomodating and replies quickly with any questions we had. 10/10 stay and will definitely book again if we come back to Queenstown.

Plenty of space for everyone to get their own bed and large living and deck areas for us all to congregate in. our host guy went out of his way to help us with all our requirements and having use of 3 4x4 vehicles was an added bonus that gave us lots of flexibility.

Best Family Holiday
My family and I, a group of 20 or so, had the best family holiday ever thanks to this beautiful place in Queenstown. There was more than enough space for all of us, the amenities of the property were great, the convenience of having two SUVs was amazing and most importantly - the views were breathtakingly spectacular! Not a bad walk into town, there are road and bush trails around, and even a place to mountain bike just close by. Guy was easy to communicate with. He always responded on time and quickly addressed anything we needed help with. Even though he wasn't able to meet us in person, he still felt very hospitable. We highly recommend any family or group of friends to stay here as the experience is just perfect. We will definitely be back should we have another big family holiday. Thanks again, Guy!

Great Stay
Just got back from a week at Guy's place and had a rally lovely time. Both houses were positioned up at Fernhill (5 minutiae drive from Queenstown) with incredible views. Was great to come back after a day skiing and relax in the Jacuzzi's with a glass of wine! Having use of both Guy's vehicles was so handy for getting around and were perfect for getting up to the slopes. The houses were lovely and comfortable but my only negative was the lack of central heating (it took a while to heat up the place when we first arrived). Apart from that everything was great. Communication with Guy was easy and he always responded within an hour of me messaging him. He was a pleasure to deal with and made the checkin very easy! Probably the best host I have dealt with over the years! Thanks for the great stay!
