Hotel reviews
TravellerTravellerGreat base to explore Aoraki Mt Cook, Mary, the owner was friendly and gave good information about the area: Twizel, Mt Cook, she has a good taste of decor. Spacious room, mini fridge, guest lounge, self service complimentary breakfast, wide open space (located on the airfield, but no noise at night). this lodge has great view of mountains. I loved everything. I would stay again if I come back to this area.
TravellerGreat Views!
TravellerThis place has it all going for it. Super modern feel and the comfort to match. This place is beautifully kept and the wife and I felt right at home here. The staff was super nice and the breakfast that they offered was top notch. This place gets all top scores and we can't rave about it enough. We didn't really want to leave the views and the comfort of this place!
TravellerVery nice!
Amazing views, really comfortable room, loved it.
TravellerWe had a great stay at Pukaki lodge. The room is clean and spacious with sets of sofa. Mary, the owner, is very friendly and gave us tips on visiting Mt Cook national park. The breakfast is basic, but tasty and does the job. The view from the room is great.
TravellerAmazing hotel!
Amazing service and stunning views in the perfect location!
TravellerGlorious stay, through and through! Unique hotel situated right on the airstrip with a clear view of the mountain range. Beautiful sunsets. Clear starry skies Perfect way to end your day hiking by Mt Cook. Also we even plans take off and land (even saw a skydiver coast down). The owners are so welcoming. They showed us the hanger with their restored historic plane. The rooms and large and beautifully decorated. Modern bathrooms. Comfortable beds made for a great sleep. Wonderful breakfast and great send off. We cannot get over how wonderful of a stay we had.
TravellerRecommended in Pukaki / Twizel
Wonderful hospitality and amenities in a great location. Perfect for a get away.
TravellerGreat Host, the room was super clean and the bathrooms were brand new. Bed was comfortable and use of the kitchen was great!
TravellerA very beautiful and interesting place to stay
We were welcomed by Mary who was very helpful and informative. Our room was very large, clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. There was plenty for breakfast with a good variety. We had a great view from outside our room. It overlooked the airstrip with a great view of Mount Cook in the distance. We saw Mary’s husband on departure and he kindly took the time to show us his aircraft inside their hangar which was amazing. The only downside we found was the wifi was very slow but overall it was a very peaceful and interesting place and we really enjoyed our stay.
TravellerFun to stay near an active airport runway. Very friendly hosts who made you feel at home.
TravellerGreat location. Very clean Big rooms.
TravellerTop notch hospitality
Had a great stay here, best class experience and thank you Mary for your great hospitality
TravellerPukaki air lodge is exclusively positioned near the shores of Lake pukaki and literally next to the airport runway is the most spectacular scenery in the area.. This place is designed to maximize the panoramic views of the mountains and the most beautiful sunsets.. Our hosts Mary and her partner are so kind and warm, and gave us access to the communal kitchen for all needs and necessities.. Highly recommended staying here..
TravellerMary's property is lovely! It was exactly what we were after it was so cosy and their hospitality was amazing!

TravellerEverything is perfect. Especially I loved the nice view, lovely staff and breakfast!

TravellerAmazing stay, kitchen and lounge was spacious.
