Mel prepared us a wonderful breakfast, probably the best in our five weeks of travel. There were choices to suit what we felt like and the scrambled eggs were perfect. I loved the cereal choices and the great coffees. We also appreciated the fruit cake and cookies and other treats that were generously provided. The room was very comfortable with quality bedding and furniture and a beautiful bathroom and great views of the mountains. Mel’s care and warmth were very much appreciated, and her restaurant recommendations were great!

Mel was a fantastic hostess, she greeted us with warmth and energy that brings happiness. She cooked cookies that were yummy. She was very easy to deal with and well presented with how things ran. we had a wonderful night and would easily stay again. We will tell our friends and family.

Everything. Mel welcomed us and looked after us throughout our stay. She is an absolute star. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the view is awesome. Nice modern bathroom with spa bath. There are comfortable communal areas and tea/coffee is available all day long with freshly baked goods. There is also something stronger if required. Plenty of choices for breakfast cooked by Mel. Can’t recommend highly enough. Worth every penny.

We loved our stay at Matuka lodge. Geoff & Libby were fatastic hosts and the breakfast made by Libby was fantastic each morning. The lodge is a beautiful location to spend time and a great place to access Aoraki / Mt Cook National park.

Top Lage. Herzliche Begrüßung von ehemaliger Inhaberin. Allerbeste Betreung von Mel (5 Sterne reichen nicht). Ausblick vom Allerfeinsten. Individuelles Frühstück persönlich zubereitet bekommen. Hilfestellung in Allem.

This is a very cozy and well maintained house. The view from the living area and also our room is astonishing! Few rooms which made us feeling like this is our home. Mel is super nice and the breakfast was well made beyond our expectations. The location was also not bad, about 10mins drive to the nearest town, Twizel, for gas.
