This is a compact, cosy lounge with comfortable seating & super friendly staff. The sparkling wine is a local brew & very good. Great selection of tasty vegetarian food was available when we visited . Also some interesting sweet treats. Only complaint we had was no barista coffee it was out of a machine.
Much better than AirNew Zealand International lounge, but far from perfect. Service is nice and polite, you get greeted by very friendly staff. There are enough of seats available and facilities are good overall. The only disappointment is food or lack of it. Bare minimum as cheap as possible some toast bread and scrambled eggs ? You kidding me ? Ever heard of other options ? Complete lack of any dairy free , vegetarian or vegan options. Nothing to chose from. Same with coffee, there is Nespresso machine but no alternative milk options. What is this , 1990 ? This country is so behind the rest of the world, when it comes to healthy food that it’s that not even funny anymore.
Dated and noisy lounge. Good selection of food and drinks as you would expect from a lounge.
Some of the friendliest people working in this lounge. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived and had various choices of comfortable chairs to relax in. A few gluten free options for my wife and the chef offered to make GF sandwiches for her as well. Now that’s accommodating! Cheers!
Warmest of reception, lovely food, super clean washrooms and decent coffee - we had a wonderful breakfast pit stop at Manaia!
an older, smaller lounge. was clean and staff were lovely and welcoming. Scones are amazing, rest of food is ok but minimal in selection. plenty of drink selection.
I was truly surprised. What a great little lounge. Reasonably good food, great little selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, teas, coffees etc. Relatively modern and friendly staff. Great place to stop before a flights.
Overall a really pleasant experience - staff friendly and helpful. Food selection was good and well presented. Food area kept clean and well-attended to. Thanks everyone!
Overcrowded mess, what is it about NZ airline lounges, it’s obviously a race to the bottom. This lounge is on par with the Air New Zealand Auckland lounge. Can’t get a seat, food is terrible, and the tables are never cleared. Big disappointment if you’re on a First or Business flight on Emirates. Better to be out in the main are than the Mania Christchurch.
Strange service at reception. I wasn’t sure if we wanted to go in the lounge but thought I’d enquire about the cost when using my lounge key pass. However I was told that they couldn’t tell me because Lounge Key had a separate agreement with the airport, there was a sign saying lounge key was accepted next to her but she refused to even tell me the price. I had a peak through into the lounge and didn’t look like much so think we dodged a bullet!
