Mantra is a well located place with lovely 2-3 bedroom town homes. The washer and dryer were very convenient and efficient. We were provided with detergent and the staff was happy to provide extra if needed.
Very well located and walking distance from the Old Church and lake. Close to restaurants and easy to spot from the high way.
Try the pies at Run 77, hopt chocolate and amazing breakfasts plus free wifi.
For dinner, try Tin plate kitchen and bar. Lovely Italian resto ith delicious food...

The owner offered to order me dinner on the two nights that we were there. Weāre both light eaters so she brought one serving one night of a chicken schnitzel.. we shared and a lamb-shank the second night. Both were delicious and filling. It was handy and much appreciated.

Great base to explore Aoraki Mt Cook, Mary, the owner was friendly and gave good information about the area: Twizel, Mt Cook, she has a good taste of decor. Spacious room, mini fridge, guest lounge, self service complimentary breakfast, wide open space (located on the airfield, but no noise at night). this lodge has great view of mountains. I loved everything. I would stay again if I come back to this area.
