A spectacular and very special place to stay; tranquillity with stunning views and surrounds. The hosts and team were wonderful, and Anna was extremely helpful in organising our trips with a local fishing guide and to the Tasman Lake and Glacier. All her communication was prompt, she was friendly, and her suggestions were spot on. The Chef’s Tasing Experience at the Moraine Lodge was outstanding, in particular the perfectly cooked venison, with divine herbed potatoes, and strawberry dessert. We had an amazing stargazing experience with Benny, who was very knowledgeable, and the experience came with a tipple from the wine cellar. A wonderful, relaxing stay with lots of thoughtful details; highly recommended.
WOW WOW WOW!!! We had our wedding reception at the Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat & WOW is the first word that comes to mind. Just spectacular in every single aspect - our guests were raving about the food for days & some even asked for the recipe (haha!)! So delicious. And the staff, where to start, so super friendly & welcoming & as we would put it really do go "the extra mile". A special shout out to Anna & Gary for bending over backwards to make this such a special day for us as well as handling multiple last minute changes due to road closures & weather disrupts like champs!! We ended up needing to relocate our wedding to the wedding lawn at the Retreat as the Helicopters couldn't go ahead for our planned mountain wedding & honestly, the wedding lawn wedding was BETTER!! Thank you so much guys - words cannot describe how grateful we are for YOU! 🫶🏽🩵❄️💍
I’m not sure words can adequately describe my experience at Mount Cook Lakeside Retreat. There is something truly special about this place. The location is breathtaking, with spectacular views across Lake Pukaki to Mount Cook, and plenty to enjoy in the area. The staff are delightful and hosts Luke and Kaye were warm and welcoming. Every detail has been thought of. The food was delicious and the stargazing experience with Benny was magical. Can’t recommend highly enough!
