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.

Great location, facilities and staff

Staffs were great. Internet kept dropping out and the manager kept fixing it. Great view and convenient location 15 minutes walk to downtown. The room was easy access, walked straight to the room from the carpark. If not closing the blind, everyone coming through the carpark can see inside when walking passed but as it’s tourist area, noone was at the hotel during the day. The room was a bit dark. Very old style. Bathroom was as clean as can be but gave a bit of unclean feeling for some reason. No aircon just a small fan to plug in. Only one window at the front next to the door handle. So, we had to leave it open at all times or there’s no air circulating. We also had to leave the door open when staying in and shut the door at night. Can’t shut the window. Luckily it’s NZ so I guess it’s quite safe as the window is next to the door anyone can open the door from outside. It’s a security concern. The back door can’t leave open. No fly screen but it seems normal in NZ. The beds are comfy. Soap was too strong on the skin. Room service take the bin put everyday but doesn’t make the bed. Provide microwave, kitchenettes (plates and stuffs) Overall, it was ok. Quite expensive but it’s due to high season.
