庫克山湖畔度假飯店(Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat)

多年來，我們住過一些相當不錯的地方，但公平地說，我們對庫克山湖畔度假勝地的兩居室別墅印象深刻。我們的主人盧克非常親切。我們遲到了，他熬夜迎接我們並帶我們參觀了別墅。冰箱裡備有我們的晚餐。剩下的日子，早餐和晚餐都送到了別墅，而且準備得很齊全。我們的別墅和熱水浴缸外面的景色非常美麗，步行到飯店的湖景區也是一種享受。各方面經驗均為 5/5。

我和我丈夫很幸運，在我們的旅行中住在一些非常美麗的地方，但沒有什麼比這更好的了。老實說，我們在某一方面無可挑剔。從令人難以置信的可愛公寓，到壯麗的景色，到令人難以置信的浴室，到從床上透過法式門看到的景色，到戶外休息區- 享受所有提供的可愛飲料、歡迎水果和蛋糕- 觀看他們的表演當太陽從山上落下時，鴨子和羊。飯菜是另一回事。全部送到您的私人公寓並直接放到您（已經擺好）的桌子上。食物是一流的。每一口都令人驚艷。冰箱裡裝滿了可愛的飲料選擇，甚至還有免費的杜松子酒和威士忌（和攪拌機）和一瓶起泡酒。我和我丈夫甚至使用了熱水浴缸，在寒冷的夜晚，這是一次令人難以置信的體驗。我們還在他們廣闊的場地上進行了一次可愛的長距離散步。幾年前他們確實發生了一場火災，但這裡有很多值得一看的地方，而且你被大自然所包圍。每個人都應該有一些如此可愛的享受，即使只是一晚。確實非常出色。

再也沒有去那裡吃晚餐，食物很好，但價格有點高。該通道確實需要一些注意，因為它可以與某些地方的林業軌道進行比較。提早5分鐘到達，發現前門上鎖。這個地方有一點過於尷尬的氛圍。

My partner surprised me with a trip to the Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat over New Years. We arrived and the staff we welcoming and helpful. I was blown away when we were shown to the Ashley MacKenzie Lodge. It was absolutely beautiful! We could see Lake Pukaki and Mt Cook from our front window and even better from the garden. We had three course meals delivered every day and they were so delicious. They were all in on a big secret when we went to "go see the lavender fields" and ended up on a helicopter ride and we got engaged! When we got back there were bubbles galore and snacks and they had snuck our closest friends in as a surprise. Couldn't have asked for better hospitality. The bed was ridiculously comfortable and the bathroom and shower were amazing. Had a bunch of saunas and spas while staying. It was so private and lush. Thanks so much to the team for making our engagement so memorable. We will never forget our stay!

This retreat is luxury at its finest. The villa was absolutely breath taking, glorious, luxurious, well appointed, comfortable, amazing. The table was set for a three course dinner, which was bought to us in stages over the evening, and it was delicious and luscious. The wine was divine. A welcome cake greeted us, as did a lovely fruit bowl, welcome tots of gin and whiskey, provisions in the fridge for snacking. The bed was very comfortable, the bedding luxurious. The bathroom with full length window overlooking Mount Cook was perfect. Each villa has their own spa overlooking the grounds (Peking ducks, goats, deer roaming around) and the gorgeous Mount Cook and surrounds. Perfect for a midnight dip. Staff were welcoming and lovely. Our stay is one we will remember forever and we wish we were able to stay longer.

I am not sure how exclusive this place is but for us it was fantastic. Beware, it is not readily found using normal GPS. We had a fantastic room overlooking the lake and mountains. Fantastic sunrises. Very spacious Villa with personal Gym, Sauna, and Spa. Nice fireplace and the staff are very attentive. Very personalised service. Excellent meals and catering for all tastes catered for. Although you need to make your own breakfast, all the ingredients are provided and replenished each day. There is even an observatory with a powerful telescope for star gazing. Overall fantastic experience and will go again if opportunities arise.

Luke and Kaye let you stay in a piece of paradise. The Tautoru villa was stunning. The cuisine was outstanding. The service was second to none. We were all in, yoga, massage and stargazing. We couldn’t Imagine a better place to enjoy our 25th wedding anniversary in NZ. Thanks for a wonderful time. Brent & Annie

What a great all round experience. The room was fantastic and homely, the heated tiles made sure the lodge was warm. The staff were very friendly and engaging. The food was very enjoyable and varied (we are vegetarian). Definitely recommend!

We had an exquisite villa with fireplace and fabulous view of the countryside. The decorations, furnishings were so comfortable and tasteful. The refrigerator and bar were stocked with complimentary beverages. We had a 6 course dinner at the lodge the first night & dinner at our villa the second night. The staff were most attentive and friendly. We enjoyed walks around the property. Even heard a red deer roar! So relaxing and peaceful.
