You will not regret booking here. Just a perfect place to stay to get away from the busy-ness of town.

10.0

Manakau Lodge is situated beautifully between the ocean and the mountains. Janice was a wonderful and gracious host, helping me with dinner recommendations and reservations, offering to drive us there, showing us walking trails nearby and providing us with fresh eggs for breakfast. The lodge is just perfect. Clean, beautiful, and had all the perfect “touches”. The sunrise that morning was incredible.

That we only had one night, by our own schedule. Not one thing that I didn’t like about it.
