The attention to detail started the moment we stepped in with welcome drinks (non-alcoholic option available) and handmade chocolates in the shape of rocks. The view outside our room was out of this world. The dinner (included in our room rate) was world class - inventive and high quality ingredients. The breakfast the next morning had several options to choose from.

Staff can't do enough for you. Very comfortable room with garden and a fantastic view. Big bathroom. Food excellent - even a packed lunch - laundry done (at cost). Best hotel of our trip so far. It will take some beating. If you're on a road trip across the east side of the South Island and looking to break the journey consider a stop here. Flights to the glacier from Mt Cook airport, hiking, dark sky area. Beautiful views. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendan 6 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wow A truly magical setting with service to match. We’ve stayed in many New Zealand hotels, and this was the first where the staff seemed truly focused on exceeding guests’ expectations. And boy, did they! We had room service dinner, and each—absolutely delicious—course was delivered exactly when we were ready for it, and at the perfect temperature. With no television, we had only conversation (mostly about the food!) and stars to keep us entertained, but seeing every constellation imaginable is an experience we’ll remember forever. We started the next morning with a brisk walk up the trail directly behind the lodge to earn our breakfast. It was cooked to order, magnificent, and served in the cozy dining area, with morning views of Mount Cook and the stunning blue of Lake Pukaki. We didn’t want to leave and would have stayed a week if we could afford it! ##### Brendan Stayed 1 night in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 17 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a magical place!

Owner operated and meticulously well managed. The rooms are so well designed, you wake up in the morning seeing the sun raise from your window over the lake. The chef would likely get a Michelin Star for his food that he serves in the evening. Recommend you eat there in the evening vs. going to a local restaurant. Breakfast is equally impressive. One of the best experiences I had in NZ while traveling from North to South Island. ##### Renee Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grace, Singapore 25 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing location with great views.

Highly recommended:) ##### Gosia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry, UK 3 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful eco-lodge in fantastic position Lake Pukaki is world famous for its colour and surrounding scenery. Lakestone Lodge meets the criteria associated with the description of unique. Set on a knoll overlooking the lake and with a backdrop provided by the Mt Cook National Park, it provided us with a truly memorable experience in the heartland of New Zealand. We were in Mary’s room which was slightly larger than the other guest suites so was very spacious and extremely well appointed. Everything about the Lodge makes you use superlatives; the eco ethos is well delivered with no compromise on luxury for the guests. The lounge area with guidebooks, telescope and binos was a great area for pre-dinner drinks where you could share your days experiences. They also have a very talented chef so both breakfast and dinner were gastronomic events in their own right. Just go! ##### Barry Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline, Sydney Australia 13 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Stay Thank you to Mark and Anna for a beautiful lodge along Lake Pukaki. Hospitality second to none. Dinner at the lodge was outstanding compliments to the chef. Lakestone Lodge is like being at home away from home except with spectacular views. Unfortunately we did have two rainy days, you cannot predict weather. The Lodge is new and spotless. Location is secluded, closest town Twizel 10-15mins and Lake Tekapo 35-45 mins. Met some lovely people from all over the world for the two nights we were there. Would totally recommend if you want serenity. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 11 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort O hotel tem uma vista maravilhosa!! ##### Denise Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### perfect clean and comfortable room stunning view of mt cook & lake pukaki nice location to star gazing ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gavin, Christchurch, NZ 15 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pampering in a Stunning Location If you are looking for a luxury experience as a couple where you can escape from the day to day, visit Lakestone Lodge. From the complementary welcome drink to on demand expresso coffee, the owners and staff make sure they look after you during your stay. The breakfasts are amazing and the evening meal thoroughly recommended. There are no televisions in the room, but Lake Pukaki provided constant entertainment during our stay with different moods and vistas. At night, the darkness and quietness is complete. The Lodge is situated within the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve and provides great opportunities for astronomy, sky gazing and astrophotography when the sky is clear.

We had an incredible time at Lakestone Lodge. The scenery is stunning, the accomodation is thoughtful, well planned, Eco friendly and very lush - the deep soaking tub with an outlook to the lake is amazing! The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and the chef designed meals were wonderful. Calm, serene ambience ensured we left feeling relaxed and recharged! The private cinema room (with surprise popcorn delivered!) was a lovely touch with plenty of movies and pay tv selections so you don't have to miss your favourite teams' game. So much thought has gone into this lodge and it shows - fantastic stay! ##### Lauren ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bojo Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Accra-Hotels-Bojo-Beach-Resort.h6415409.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Barmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barmouth-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d8117-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Nottingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d7577-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [STILE Downtown Los Angeles by Kasa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-STILE-Downtown-Los-Angeles-By-Kasa.h6948120.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Plymouth.h1449222.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Niwa Tokyo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Niwa-Tokyo.h2919886.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Budhwar Peth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budhwar-Peth-Pune-Hotels.0-n553248635976007344-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Scottish Highlands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottish-Highlands-Hotels.d3000655551.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Playa Blanca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Playa-Blanca-Hotels.s50-0-d553248635976948700.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mount-Cook-Hotels-The-Hermitage-Hotel-Mount-Cook.h179149.Hotel-Information) > > [BAKURO - DOYANEN HOTELS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Osaka-Hotels-DOYANEN-HOTELS-BAKURO.h45815235.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Albufeira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d4692-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Parking in Beverley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beverley-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d4567-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [R2 Bahía Kontiki Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-R2-Bahia-Kontiki-Beach-Apartments.h13469596.Hotel-Information) > > [Oasis Hotel Waikiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Aqua-Oasis.h18840.Hotel-Information) > > [Frida Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Frida-Village.h8484977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Railway Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petworth-Hotels-The-Old-Railway-Station.h11899976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sankt Johann in Tirol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sankt-Johann-In-Tirol-Hotels.d6034085.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [JAZ Almaza Beach Resort, Almaza Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marsa-Matruh-Hotels-Jaz-Almaza-Bay.h1506575.Hotel-Information) > > [Birmingham Strathallan Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Birmingham-Strathallan-Hotel.h7767.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Entzheim (SXB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/sxb/dublin-to-strasbourg) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Dalaman (DLM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/dlm/aberdeen-to-dalaman) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Bulawayo (BUQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/buq/manchester-to-bulawayo) ### Cars > [Dollar Rent A Car Car Rentals In Orlando Intl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dollar-Rent-A-Car-Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573-c43.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Farnham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Farnham.d4638.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ---
