Matukituki Lodge

Fantastic location if you like to be away from it all (which we did). completely private, wonderful view of the mountains, and the house is great. Beds are comfy, and the living room/dining room are great for gathering and relaxing. Relaxing in the hot-tub watching the stars was wonderful.

Due to its location and no cellphone service, I would recommend that that wifi router be set to have a "guest" connection that does not require a password so email and whatsapp can be used to communicate on site prior to getting in. We didn't receive the door code from Booking.com before we got there (not the host's fault), and needed to contact the host, but had to drive back 15 minutes to where we had cell reception to call.

The views and the space, furniture, art and comfortable bed and ensuite. Magnificent setting in majestic mountains, off the grid.

It would have been helpful to find some milk in the fridge.

We loved the separate wing that we had from the other guests and the location of the house. We enjoyed spending the night on the farm and the serenity of the location

We had a hard time finding the property. When we stopped to inquire at the small airport nearby, they gave us advice to look for large hedges on the left and then immediately after, the property would be on the left with a sign. The main slider in the the community room did not open during our stay. It was locked shut for some reason

Gorgeous views of the mountain. Feel isolated but with all the comforts of home.

Fabulous location and enjoyed the hot tub with mountain views.

No milk for hot drinks. Good job we brought milk. Shower was smelly as if not used for some time. Bed frame was dusty. Disappointed to find these negatives when it was quite expensive.
