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!
