A Solo Escape

At Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat

Our Retreat is the perfect escape, whether for a romantic couple’s getaway or a self-care solo vacation, as Jessica Wynne Lockhart discovered:

As the day’s last rays settle into a dusky plum, I gaze out over Lake Pukaki, the peak of Aoraki beyond. I’ve heard tourists say that Mackenzie Country looks like my home province of Alberta. It’s a comparison that’s categorically correct but it’s also lazy. The snow-capped peaks don’t belong to a Canadian scene —this is one that’s all New Zealand.

Absolutely spectacular – would recommend to anyone! What a spectacular experience I had here. I booked a couple of nights R&R just for myself to chill out…..and Ooooh!……what a chill-out I had! I was looked after beautifully by all the wonderful lovely staff, while also enjoying the beautiful privacy and tranquility of the luxury villa (Villa Matariki). I had the most incredibly delicious and nutritious (and plenty of it!) food delivered to my door by the chefs themselves (the lamb was exquisite!). Tom and Rafa are both exceptional chefs and also provide lovely service. They catered for my dairy-free diet better than anywhere I have been before including to-die-for chocolatey treats which I arrived back to after a cycle through part of the stunning Alps 2 Ocean trail. And they bake bread daily for the morning too!
