Wow what a find!  Matakauri is a beautiful little lodge with a front row seat view of the serene Wakatipu lake & the Remarkables Mountain range.  Arrived on a nice warm sunny afternoon with the sapphire blue and turquoise lake shimmering like gemstones, and left on a cooler morning but with spectacular snow capped mountains!  I liked the Farm at...

We arrived Christmas eve and stayed 4 nights in the gorgeous Lodge Suites overlooking Lake Wakatipu. The views are exceptional - the Lodge has the most stunning location. Food (Jonathan Rogers is the chef) is delicious and menu changes each night. Very flexible with the children's food. Staff so welcoming, unstuffy but incredibly kind and helpful. We loved every minute... More

We booked Matakauri months before we arrived. The service was perfect for us. We even compared with all other great hotels that we ever stayed, and still Matakauri is top notch. The staffs were genuinely helpful. The Hotel: Location is a bit secluded, which i like. Not too far from the downtown. Perfect scenery, perfect set, very nice architectural design.... More

We had 5 days of absolute Queenstown magic staying at Matakauri Lodge. We have now stayed at the 3 Robertson owned lodges in New Zealand. Matakauri is our favourite. The room was spacious, the views were panoramic and probably comparable to the best anywhere in the world. The standard of the lodge is truly 5 star. The service was personal,... More

Brilliant location and outlook and terrific suites. Impeccable layout and first class comfort. Meals were tip top and catered for our special needs. Other guests (couples) were obviously enjoying a very private special treat and kept to themselves. They probably appreciated the formality and the attentive service which was a little wasted on our family with teenagers. Staff seemed to... More

This place was really beautiful and they took great care of us from the moment we arrived. The food is off the hook and the rooms and views are spectacular. The gym is pretty good for a small place if you like to work out (but no free weights - decent treadmill and nice view though!). The service staff is... More

We spent three nights at the Matakauri Lodge and it really made our visit to Queenstown memorable. All I can do is echo the other reviewers by saying the food was outstanding, both at breakfast and at dinner. The service was friendly, informed and efficient. The views out of the bathtub unparalleled...price is an issue, but I really felt it... More
