ROOM FOR TWO: Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat, New Zealand

Travel Journalist Matt Brace Visits Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat

 

Travel journalist Matt Brace stayed in Villa Puaka at Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat. Whilst staying at the Retreat, Matt commented on the ‘cosy’ feeling of the villa, the ‘delicious food’ and much more.

He wrote:

“In the foothills of New Zealand’s Southern Alps is a little hidden gem; a small mountain lodge offering spectacular views over glacial-blue lakes, restorative walks through peaceful forests, delicious gourmet food and some of the best stargazing opportunities in the world.”

“Eating our delicious breakfast on the outside terrace we got a tiny glimpse of what life might be like if we owned a hillside palazzo above Lake Como. Mind you, I think we’d rather have an NZ South Island landscape view.”

Absolutely Fabulous
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.
