Matuka Lodge

Twizel

Boasting free WiFi and views of the Southern Alps, Matuka Lodge is located on the Alps to Ocean Cycleway. All rooms feature a patio offering mountain views.

The Qualmark 5-star rated Matuka Lodge is 5 minutes' drive from central Twizel. It is 10 minutes' drive from Lake Pukaki. Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mount Cook National Park are within 50 minutes' drive. The lodge was absolutely incredible to stay in! Amazing views out of our room of the duck pond and the mountains in the background. Our room was spacious and well equipped, with an amazing spa bath in the bathroom. Mel was the most amazing host and made us feel so welcome, and went out of her way to help - including dinner recommendations and ten serving us breakfast earlier than scheduled due to an early start. We wish we could have stayed for longer than our 1 night!

Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat

Lake Pukaki

Accommodations options include three 1 or 2 bedroom luxury villas with each with a hot tub, fireplace and drawing room. Each of the heated suites offers high wooden ceilings, sandstone floors and an elegant ensuite bathroom. The villa was much nicer than I anticipated, with its own private hot tub (maybe I missed it on the booking page, but I was pleasantly surprised). The grounds are very beautiful and you can take a walk through the woods to get to a view point for the lake.
