"Matakauri Lodge
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived at Matakauri Lodge to the warm farewell at departure, the level of service and care we received was beyond anything we expected — truly world class. Every detail felt thoughtful, personal, and seamless, making our entire stay not just luxurious, but deeply restorative. The food was absolutely exceptional — each dish a celebration of flavour and artistry. Every meal felt like an experience in itself, paired beautifully with the surrounding views and gracious hospitality. Our room was nothing short of magical. Waking up to those breathtaking views was a joy each morning, and the luxurious bathroom added a touch of indulgence to every day. The bed — oh, the bed! — felt like floating on a cloud, making restful sleep effortless and dreamy. We have absolutely no complaints… except that we had to leave. But one thing is certain: we will return. Matakauri Lodge is not just a destination — it’s a sanctuary. A place to recharge, reconnect, and remember how beautiful life can be. Until next time."

"Its all about the location absolutely stunning only wish i spent an additional night here. Views from the hot tub are amazing. "

"Loved our overnight cruise on Milford Sound! Shared a quad cabin room and though small & cozy, was a perfect place to sleep & so good to wake up to a great view!! Food on the cruise was excellent & all the staff very helpful & informative! One of our highlights on our holiday I would definetly recomend a stay on the Fiordland Jewel !! "

"This is a great place to stay after hiking the Routeburn track."

"Wonderful ecolodge in beautiful setting. The staff and chef are wonderful and welcoming. We loved our visit. "

"Quirky and lovely “cabin” with great view of Lake Wakatipu and good access to some nearby hikes. The cabin was beautiful and had all the bells and whistles and tech amenities you could want. Loved the idea of the full screen and TV but we couldn’t bear to bring down the shade on that great view, so decided TV was not a priority. Loved the hot tun shared only by the few cabins. Took advantage of yoga in the yurt and dinners on the property (not many other dining options nearby!) "

"The whole experience was absolutely perfect. Worth every penny."
