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.

United States of AmericaOur hosts were incredible, so friendly and warm and made us feel right at home. Would’ve given anything for an extra night. The lodge was beautiful and the view from our room and bathroom could not be better.
United States of AmericaJo and Pete were super warm and friendly but also gave us privacy. Breakfast was hearty and generous. The views from the lodge were absolutely stunning! We arrived late at night and were so shocked to see the glorious scenery from our room window. The rooms were very comfortable, water pressure on showers was excellent, heated tiles in the bathroom were a lovely added touch. And the rooms were always clean and smelled lovely.
