On the shores of Lake Pukaki in the heart of the Mackenzie Basin is a luxury lakeside lodge. With views across the crystal blue lake to the snowy mountain peaks. This private purpose-built lodge is set amid one of New Zealand’s best outdoor playgrounds.
Your hosts, Anna and Mike, have travelled the world and lived in many places. Keen on the outdoors, they are delighted to be back living in New Zealand, raising two children and sharing their special place with you.
It’s a place to switch off and be active in nature or simply enjoy the views. Fully committed to protecting the environment, the lodge is off-grid and self-sufficient for power and water. Over 1000 native trees have been planted in the garden to attract an array of native birds.
Be entertained by numerous outdoor activities. Discover hiking and cycling trails, national parks, go swimming in fresh lakes, take a scenic flight, go fishing or skiing. Be sure to book in for dinner at least one night here. Think delicious, fresh and local produce with New Zealand wine.
