"Second time to stay at the Heritage. Loved it. Will stay again. Big rooms. Awesome alpine and lake views. Friendly staff and service. Great food. Bus stop out the front. Bus comes every 15 minutes. Definitely coming back. "

"The apartment was really great and very spacious ! The view is breathtaking, I really enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace and soaking in the incredible views of the snowy mountains. If I had to be picky I’d probably just say something about the fact that if you’re going for a longer period of time, carrying your things from the car can be a little tricky due to the lack of accessible ramps or elevator. Despite that I would definitely recommend it to anyone and I would come back. "

"Matakauri Lodge ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived at Matakauri Lodge to the warm farewell at departure, the level of service and care we received was beyond anything we expected — truly world class. Every detail felt thoughtful, personal, and seamless, making our entire stay not just luxurious, but deeply restorative. The food was absolutely exceptional — each dish a celebration of flavour and artistry. Every meal felt like an experience in itself, paired beautifully with the surrounding views and gracious hospitality. Our room was nothing short of magical. Waking up to those breathtaking views was a joy each morning, and the luxurious bathroom added a touch of indulgence to every day. The bed — oh, the bed! — felt like floating on a cloud, making restful sleep effortless and dreamy. We have absolutely no complaints… except that we had to leave. But one thing is certain: we will return. Matakauri Lodge is not just a destination — it’s a sanctuary. A place to recharge, reconnect, and remember how beautiful life can be. Until next time."
