Great facility, location, host and modern amenities. Lots of good snacks and (some) wines/drinks were complimentary. B/f was prepared hot in the morning based good option selection. There was even a lake just outside the patio door .. there was 2 sofa seats facing in the room facing the small lake which had diving ducks. Having a good wine and watching the lake was a great experience.
United States of AmericaThis was a wonderful place to stop on our way from Christchurch to Wanaka and after exploring the beautiful lakes in the region, Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki, and of course Mt. Cook. If you get a clear night, the stargazing is incredible here. The hosts are so gracious and helpful. They cook the breakfast to order and it is delicious. The photo here was taken from our bedroom deck. It is a very peaceful location. I highly recommend staying at Matuka Luxury Lodge.

New ZealandGreat hosts Jo and Peter. Delicious breakfast and beautiful scenery. Enjoyed the stargazing and sitting out by the pond. Lovely, relaxing experience.
New ZealandI booked this property after reading great reviews online. I have to say that reviews don’t do it justice as the whole experience exceeded my expectations! Jo and Pete were amazing hosts and their attention to detail was beyond anything I’ve ever seen in the hospitality business!
