"Pukaki Air Lodge is the most unique lodging I've ever seen. It is a hotel that comes with an airplane hangar and two aircraft in it. In the morning, the view of Mount Cook across the airport runway was magnificent. The owner-managers were very helpful; the room and bed were comfortable; the kitchen and dining room were clean; and the pantry and kitchen were well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay."

"Booked this place well in advance for the labour long weekend so got a great price. Apartment was huge and spacious and well worth it for the price. Had everything you need plus some with a full kitchen and laundry. Prob the only thing I could fault is that there was a smell in the apartment that could smell as soon as walked in. I assume it was prob from previous people staying cooking curry or something. Tried to air it while was there but smell still retained for the 2 nights I was there....

"generally clean but amenities were dated and could use some updating. heater was inconsistent and bathroom a bit leaky, which made for slippery tiles.
comfy beds and hot water with good pressure. we particularly appreciated the location — an easy 5-minute drive from twizel town centre, and close to high country salmon (famous alpine salmon shop) and lake pukaki."

10/10 Excellent
Great base to explore Aoraki Mt Cook, Mary, the owner was friendly and gave good information about the area: Twizel, Mt Cook, she has a good taste of decor. Spacious room, mini fridge, guest lounge, self service complimentary breakfast, wide open space (located on the airfield, but no noise at night). this lodge has great view of mountains. I loved everything. I would stay again if I come back to this area.
