Filming A Wrinkle in Time

Hosting Storm Reid, Oprah and Director Ava DuVernay at The Retreat

Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat was privileged to host actor Storm Reid during the filming of A Wrinkle in Time.

We welcomed Storm and her mother, Robyn, during filming here at Lake Pukaki. Storm is an inspiring young woman and the trailer demonstrates her incredible talents.

“Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home! I had an awesome time! You are so sweet! Thank you again. You made shooting A Wrinkle in Time easy.” – Storm Reid

During filming, Oprah and Director Ava DuVernay also joined us for dinner and a stargazing experience in the Pukaki Wine Cellar Observatory. What wise women! With their leadership and talent, this movie will be a must-see and we can’t wait to see A Wrinkle in Time when it comes to New Zealand screens.

Rain or shine, it’s stunning. You can’t go wrong with this place. Luke and Kaye have spent a lot of time putting it together with love, care, and complete respect of their environment. You can feel their attention to every detail as soon as you walk through the door. The place is gorgeous, the energy serene, even the dogs are good company! We enjoyed the proximity to Mt Cook, the walks in the area, the delicious food, the majestic beauty of the place, the night skies, and above all the silence and privacy. I spent several hours just watching the colours of the sky and nature at different times of the day…and “stargazing 101” through Luke’s telescope was a wonderful experience too, on a very clear night. Thanks again to both of you for one of the most relaxing stays we’ve ever had.
