Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat  

On the shores of Lake Pukaki in Ben Ohau, a short drive from Twizel and the Aoraki / Mount Cook Visitor Centre. This pet-friendly, Tuscan-style luxury lodge sits within easy reach of Lake Ruataniwha and Mount John Observatory.

A small Tuscan-style lodge with just eight guestrooms, each featuring a fireplace, private furnished balcony or patio and an outdoor private hot tub. Rooms are warmly decorated with down comforters, Egyptian cotton sheets, MP3 docking stations and en-suite showers for a cozy, tech-ready stay.

Soak in private hot tubs or the lodge hot tub, hit the outdoor tennis court, or unwind in the sauna, spa center and massage room. There’s a fitness center, library and picnic area, concierge services, free self-parking and an area shuttle to nearby sights (surcharge) — plus lake views to wake up to.

Full conference centre and meeting rooms with presentation facilities, wedding services and complimentary high-speed wireless internet for events and gatherings.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant, grab a drink at the bar, or order room service during limited hours. Staff can also help arrange local tours and transfers to round out your stay.
