Overall Ratings & Reviews Matuka Luxury Lodge

Fantastic stay and our host, Guy was top notch. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. It deserves a five star rating across the board. Thank you!

We had such a lovely, relaxing time at Matuka Lodge. Luxury accommodation with a family vibe, so friendly and welcoming. Everything was wonderful, highly recommend this gem!

Guy was a wonderful host, made a great fruitcake. The honor bar was nice after a day of riding bicycle. A convenient location to the Alps to Ocean cycle trail with very clean accommodations and a great breakfast.

A great foundation for the nearby Mount Cook area as well as adjacent to the Pelennor Fields battle scene from LOTR The Return of the King. Delicious breakfast, easy parking, very clean, lovely area and spacious extremely comfortable rooms. Six stars!

A lovely place, the rooms are beautiful and well maintained, our room was on the banks of a small lake with a great view, Mel, the landlady, is nice and makes every effort to make you feel good.Very recommended!!

Outstanding stay. Mel made us feel like we were in our home away from home! Fantastic accommodations…

This place was an absolute gem, as were the hosts. I felt like I'd come home. The property is stunning with mountain views and a duck pond. The room was lovely. The common area was cozy and a wonderful place to unwind. I only wish I stayed longer.

Una casa de campo sumamente acogedora. La propietaria, Mel, es muy hospitalaria. Habitaciones confortables con vista a un hermoso lago natural. Buen desayuno preparado según la preferencia personal del cliente

So quaint and secluded. A mini oasis. Mel was amazing. Hostess with the most-est. She suggested we do an early breakfast to get to Hooker Valley Trail early and she was so right for that! Rooms were immaculate. Refreshments and breakfast were immaculate. I wish we stayed more than 1 night.

Not recommended for couple as lacks privacy nor families as too small! Only one long dining table for 10 and wonder how it qualifies as a lodge! Only 5 rooms and breakfast from 8 am to 9 am!!! No fridge nor even kettle plus! Checkout is at 10 am and a loud knock on the door to confirm; hardly hospitable act let alone service. Over priced at NZ$500 per nite! Expedia needs to update.

Amazing lodge and lovely hosts. Highly recommend staying here. We stayed for 3 nights and the proximity to Mt Cook area was excellent (about 45 mins). The lodge was peaceful and included a lovely breakfast. Plenty of space to relax in the large lounge room in the lodge. There are a number of local places to eat dinner at (a short drive away).

We only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer. A very beautiful property, very spacious and wonderful hosts. The view of the stars at night in a specially prepared area was fantastic. the cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious. Also wine and beverages available at any time.

Great accommodation close to Twizel. Excellent breakfast - all home made. Rooms were spacious and bed extremely comfortable. Bathroom furniture could do with a refurb. The outstanding feature were the positive energies of the hosts (Libby and Geoff). Libby was so caring for all her guests and ensuring that they were maximising their experience of the area - nothing was too much trouble for her to try and organise or to suggest.

We had the best time. Libby and Geoff are amazing hosts. Thank you both so much.

What a wonderful surprise!!! This place was awesome. The staff, the bed, the views, couldn’t have been better. The hospitality was the BEST, we felt so welcomed!!! Thank you!

Excellent stay!! Great hosts, location, accommodation, breakfasts and amenities. Could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend.

Unmatched experience. Most wonderful hosts!

It was simply a amazing experience. Something we will me er forget. We loved our host

We enjoyed a wonderful time with Pete and Jo. They were exceptional hosts and the lodge is luxurious. The nearby fishing was excellent.

Fantastic setting and amazing hospitality from Jo and Peter
