What a wonderful surprise!!! This place was awesome. The staff, the bed, the views, couldn’t have been better. The hospitality was the BEST, we felt so welcomed!!! Thank you!

Excellent stay!! Great hosts, location, accommodation, breakfasts and amenities. Could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend.

Unmatched experience. Most wonderful hosts!

The day is not only my birthday, but also a unforgetable day. Although my English is not very well, but the home is really warm and Jo and Pete is really sweet, like this house!!

We enjoyed a wonderful time with Pete and Jo. They were exceptional hosts and the lodge is luxurious. The nearby fishing was excellent.

Fantastic setting and amazing hospitality from Jo and Peter

Amazing place wonderful hosts made us feel at home!

Jo and Peter, by their fantastic, hospitality, made part of their family. They guided us to all the great activities and dining in the neighborhood, but still made our stay quiet and relaxing. Our only regret was that we did not plan to stay much, much longer. There was so much more we could have done and we do hope to return to do so. Do not shut the curtains in your room. The remoteness of the Matuka lends great privacy while allowing great views into nature. On dark nights, whilst well blanketed on a chaise in the garden, enjoy the Southern Cross and Milky Way without the tour crowds. The Matuka is world class luxury in a very quiet, refined, relaxing way>

Quiet location and convenient to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook/St Johns. Great hosts and great suite rooms, with luxe amenities (sheets, toiletries, etc). Really nice small touches and attention to detail with personalized service.

Beautiful, clean, lovely place with real heart, hospitality, and generosity. My 24 yo son said, "Jo is like our fairy godmother"

Property owners were so welcoming. We felt comfortable and cared for.

Matuka is an absolute dream. From the scenery to the adorable town of Twizel to hosts Jo and Peter, this was one of the best - if not THE best - highlights of our trip. We simply didn’t want to leave. And why would you? Jo’s chocolate chippie biscuits and celebration cake - not to mention her and Peter’s delicious home-cooked breakfasts - keep you coming back for more. We’d without a doubt stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet respite. We truly hope to see Jo and Peter again someday!

Beautiful location, and the property was out of this world. Loved our hosts, Jo and Peter. I wish we could have stayed longer!

This prperty had everything one might need. In every respect. Very friendly and professional reception by owner. Perfect example of what a B&B should be.

Perfect Luxury .. an oasis of calm. Location, views, facilities, staff all top notch !!

Warm hospitality from Jo and Peter. Very knowledgable about all of New Zealand. Superb comfort and lovely scenery. Excellent food and attention to detail in every aspect. Our hosts truly enjoy providing a first class experience.

Incredibly peaceful and relaxing setting with great views of Southern Alps

Our host, Jo, was delightful, friendly and a wonderful cook! We loved everything about Matuka Lodge - it was the best place we stayed in the 10 days of our NZ trip. Although on the pricier side due to lack of similar options in the area, the comfort and wonderful house more than made up for it. My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful views and very comfortable. Jo was kind enough to drive us into town for dinner since we had already started enjoying some NZ wine. My only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer.

Matuka was one of the highlights of our three week trip to New Zealand. Wonderful hosts and great views from the property. Borrowed bikes and road a 17.5 kilmometer loop that afforded magnificent views of the peaks and and rural life in this small relatively untouched community. Looking forward to returning to New Zealand someday and Matuka will definitely be part of our visit!

Gracious hosts and a beautiful location with incredible views — highly recommend for anyone wanting a base to explore the surrounding area.

Lovely facility, great hospitality. Unfortunately weather was poor during our stay, but the comfort of the lodge helped to offset the disappointment of no views of the lakes or Mt. Cook. Very convenient to Twizel.

A fantastic spot to relax and explore Mt Cook. Jo and Peter are tremendous hosts and provide a comfortable home away from home. We had a special two night stay. Kelli and John

Upon arrival Jo welcomed us and made us feel so comfortable and at home. Our room was ideal with spectacular views of mountains and lodge property. Both room and lodge offered personal amenities. Fabulous location that I would definitely return to!

Amazing hosts and lovely place!

This place exudes calm. Stunning setting, away from the madding crowd. Sad we only stayed one night - the ultimate place to unwind

Excellent staying experience with very warm owners, Peter and Joyce. Though it is not cheap, it is worth every cent paid. Remarkable view from the room and spacious living rooms for 10 people.

Great hosts; home cooked breakfasts; beautiful surroundings

Very friendly and helpful host. Tranquil environment and clean room. Feels like home.

One of the nicest places I have ever stayed. Jo and Peter welcome you like friends and they make sure your stay is perfect.

This is a fantastic place with great hosts, a wonderful location, and terrific accommodations. I can recommend it without any reservations whatsoever.

Jo & Pete go above & beyond in their facilities but also their service & hospitality for their guests! They make you feel welcomed & are extremely helpful. The rooms & facilities are immaculate & you couldn't find a better hotel or B&B anywhere! The views speak for themselves! And you can't go past Jo's infamous cake!! Highly recommended!!
