Great spot, so close to Twizel. Beautiful room and really nice big kitchen area and a guest lounge. We made use of the kitchen to cook our supper and enjoyed the continental breakfast (eggs were provided, so we even cooked some eggs). Mary was a very welcoming host and would stay there again (and recommend to friends)

What a great stay we had! The room was so clean and spacious and had everything we needed. It was wonderful to cook in the well appointed kitchen with an amazing view of Mount Cook and the other mountains all around. Our hosts were so great, thank you for all the extras for a wonderful breakfast. We also loved being able to see the huge sky all around. Its amazing for star gazing. We will definitely be back again to the Pukaki Air Lodge!

Our room was huge, clean and had plenty of seating and blankets. The host was lovely and the included breakfast (make your own eggs and cereals, fruit, yogurt) was fantastic. The views were spectacular from the upstairs lounge and from the big shared kitchen. It would have been nice to have a space in the bathroom to put our toilet kits but other than that the stay was perfect.

The place has a breathtaking view of the airport. We enjoyed it from the afternoon all the way into the staring evening. Mary was very friendly and even let us use the kitchen for dinner and breakfast. But the coolest part was definitely the three airplanes displayed inside the house—I took so many photos to show off!

We 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.
