Southland Holiday Packages

Room was Spotless, excellent shower water pressure. Friendly staff.

Great location, facilities and staff

Very pleasant stay. Couldn’t fault anything. Amenities very clean & high class. Staff were impeccable. Free parking and free airport transfer. Absorbing the stunning views from your private jacuzzi on a spacious entertainment deck was an awesome experience. Totally recommend if you can afford it

Staff were friendly and helpful and room was clean with a great mountain view. We only stayed one night. If staying longer we would miss having facilities to make breakfast in the room (bowls etc) and there’s not really anywhere other than the bed to sit. Very comfortable bed though and loved that we could turn the heated towel rack on ourselves (first place we’ve stayed where we could do that!).

Matakauri Lodge
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived at Matakauri Lodge to the warm farewell at departure, the level of service and care we received was beyond anything we expected — truly world class. Every detail felt thoughtful, personal, and seamless, making our entire stay not just luxurious, but deeply restorative. The food was absolutely exceptional — each dish a celebration of flavour and artistry. Every meal felt like an experience in itself, paired beautifully with the surrounding views and gracious hospitality. Our room was nothing short of magical. Waking up to those breathtaking views was a joy each morning, and the luxurious bathroom added a touch of indulgence to every day. The bed — oh, the bed! — felt like floating on a cloud, making restful sleep effortless and dreamy. We have absolutely no complaints… except that we had to leave. But one thing is certain: we will return. Matakauri Lodge is not just a destination — it’s a sanctuary. A place to recharge, reconnect, and remember how beautiful life can be. Until next time.
