"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."

A truly magical setting with service to match. We’ve stayed in many New Zealand hotels, and this was the first where the staff seemed truly focused on exceeding guests’ expectations. And boy, did they! We had room service dinner, and each—absolutely delicious—course was delivered exactly when we were ready for it, and at the perfect temperature. With no television, we had only conversation (mostly about the food!) and stars to keep us entertained, but seeing every constellation imaginable is an...

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.

This motel doesn’t look impressive from the outside, but the inside was immaculately clean, spacious, and modern. Excellent value, definitely recommend.

The unit was as nice as it looks in the pictures. It took me a a bit to find where it is located but all in all i would highly recommend it to anyone going to that area.

Absolutely loved our stay. The room was beautiful and just as advertised. Took a bath in the jet tub, felt so good. Comfy bed and linen. Lovely view of NZ nature. And the staff is THE BEST! Our heli tour was canceled so we were earlier than expected. Room was provided early as a courtesy. Upon leaving, there was heavy rain. Our receptionist came outside to collect the room key so that we didn't get wet.
