Come and Stay in the Only Luxury Five Star Accommodation in the Mount Cook Area

Matuka Lodge is located at Twizel, the closest town to Mt Cook – the highest peak of Australasia, reaching a height of 3754 metres (12316 ft), about halfway between Christchurch and Queenstown.

Come and stay in the only luxury five star accommodation in the Mount Cook area. Matuka Lodge was designed to take advantage of its north facing aspect to get maximum benefit from the winter sun through passive solar heating. And a breeze off the trout pond keeps the temperature pleasant all summer.  

Decorated with antique and contemporary furniture, original artworks and unique artifacts from around the world, the atmosphere is elegant, yet casual. Every bedroom has spectacular views of the Southern Alps – highest mountains in New Zealand.

Staying at Matuka Lodge you will enjoy excellent food either at a tastefully decorated On-Site Café/Restaurant or in the town of Twizel where you will have a choice of excellent restaurants. The eggs served for breakfast come from a local farm where the chooks run around in the grass. Ham and bacon come from free-range Havoc farm at Waimate. You will have opportunity to eat superb locally farmed salmon. The delicious borage (viper's bugloss) honey comes from local bees.

At the end of the day, imagine yourself sitting on the deck sharing a convivial drink with your hosts and other guests, while watching the trout send ripples across the mirror surface of the pond, as the setting sun illuminates the mountains.

Owners of Matuka Lodge are committed to pursuing environmentally sustainable practices wherever possible and are proud to have achieved Qualmark Enviro Silver status.
