My husband and I recently stayed at Matakauri Lodge after having been married there 10 years ago. The lodge had changed hands and been re-decorated since we were there so I was keen to see if it had maintained it's level of wonderfulness. I was very pleased that it had. We arrived in the afternoon, greeted with a glass of... More

Nothing was too much trouble and its always the little small things that gives attention to detail , We can't find anything bad to say... More

We recently had two very relaxing nights at MataKauri Lodge. We have been regulars at the other two properties when in NewZealand and have been sherry delighted with their presentation and service. The property is in itself excellent, the rooms and lodge are very well put toghether and extremely comfortable. However the service really let this property down. We felt... More

Excellent service exemplified by the hands on Jay Robertson. Matakauri is far more modern than the other two lodges and I is akine to a Delano by the lake. This property had two drawbacks. One was location as foolishly we had decided not to rent a car believing the property was walking distance into town instead of a 10 minute... More

Wow what a find!  Matakauri is a beautiful little lodge with a front row seat view of the serene Wakatipu lake & the Remarkables Mountain range.  Arrived on a nice warm sunny afternoon with the sapphire blue and turquoise lake shimmering like gemstones, and left on a cooler morning but with spectacular snow capped mountains!  I liked the Farm at...

We arrived Christmas eve and stayed 4 nights in the gorgeous Lodge Suites overlooking Lake Wakatipu. The views are exceptional - the Lodge has the most stunning location. Food (Jonathan Rogers is the chef) is delicious and menu changes each night. Very flexible with the children's food. Staff so welcoming, unstuffy but incredibly kind and helpful. We loved every minute... More

We booked Matakauri months before we arrived. The service was perfect for us. We even compared with all other great hotels that we ever stayed, and still Matakauri is top notch. The staffs were genuinely helpful. The Hotel: Location is a bit secluded, which i like. Not too far from the downtown. Perfect scenery, perfect set, very nice architectural design.... More

We had 5 days of absolute Queenstown magic staying at Matakauri Lodge. We have now stayed at the 3 Robertson owned lodges in New Zealand. Matakauri is our favourite. The room was spacious, the views were panoramic and probably comparable to the best anywhere in the world. The standard of the lodge is truly 5 star. The service was personal,... More
