About this Holiday House

Manorburn Cottage is in a lovely peaceful country setting right beside the rail trail only a 6km car ride to Alexandra. Enjoy a morning coffee sitting out on the lawn overlooking the orchard watching the bikers going down the trail. The Manorburn Dam is just up the hill where you can kayak or swim in the summer or enjoy ice skating and curling in the winter. Try your luck at fishing on the Dam or in the Manorburn stream also a great spot to keep young ones entertained, the stream runs alongside the property. There is T.V and DVD so movies can be watched, but the setting of this cottage keeps you well entertained, there are plenty of books and games to while away the evenings. Being 1 hour from Queenstown you are well placed to enjoy the many tourist attractions on offer there and to access the ski fields open between June and early October. Wanaka is 50mins away. Lake Dunstan offers a great playground for the keen boaties or for the jetboats the clutha river is awesome to check out. The Highlands park Motor Sport at Cromwell is 25mins. away.

A country cottage on picturesque countryside surrounded by lovely trees. It was perfect for our family stay.
Bryony
We loved our stay at Manorburn cottage. The location was perfect, heaps to do and so close to the rail trail. Donna was very helpful with the booking process. I hope we will be able to visit again.
Rhys Latton
Great little getaway - close to the metropolis of Alex but still peacefully out in the wop wops. Cute and classic aesthetic with a great badminton lawn. Good for a little family.
