A lovely welcome by the owners to this 2 year old property.
Appreciated the lift so we didn’t have to lug the suitcase up stairs.
The room was beautiful.
Bed ultra comfy.
The views of the mountain were great. Loved their snow caps.

Your hosts go out of their way to make your stay whatever you wish it to be. The view is magic, the room spotless and the country breakfast made to order. There are two lounges to relax in with complimentary drinks provided. There is ample parking. You would find it impossible not to relax here.

From arrival to departure -- first rate service.
All rooms overlook Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki.
Modern, comfortable accommodation. New facility -- only 6 months old.
Executive chef prepares meals -- all outstanding.
Pleasant, helpful staff and owners.
Owner took us out for stargazing at night-- the district forbids lighting outdoors unless necessary -- allows breathtaking views of the sky.
Would recommend this lodge without hesitation.

We loved our stay at The Mackenzie Suites. We booked the luxury king room, stunning views, fireplace between the lounge and the bedroom. Large high end bathroom with the biggest bath tub I’ve seen. Easy check in with lots of tips on the local area, we would stay here again

Beautiful room with great view of the lake, church and southern alps at Lake Tepako. Very modern, well furnished, and warm for our winter stay. Very close to cafes and restaurants. We stayed two nights for our visit and Heli hike to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay again.

We just enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the place but we did upgrade to a motel and that made a big difference.

Room was clean and cozy. The shower was a bit too small to use comfortably. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is right on the lake and there is a lounge and dining hall that offer stunning views. Would recommend visiting the Dark Sky Project which is directly next door.
