Whether you visit Matuka Lodge in the height of summer or the cold heart of winter, we guarantee you’ll be delightfully comfortable.
During the summer, the Lodge is cool and airy with a pleasant breeze coming off the trout pond. There really is nothing on this earth as relaxing as sitting on your deck with a glass of wine and watching the sun set over the Lake with the Southern Alps looking on.
In the winter, the Lodge takes advantage of its north-facing aspect to extract as much heat as possible from the sun. This, coupled with full double glazing throughout and more insulation than you can imagine, keeps our guests snug and comfortable at night.
Decorated with antique and contemporary furniture, and original artworks, the atmosphere is elegant, yet casual.
Matuka Lodge provides complete privacy as the Hosts live next door. The Lodge is yours to enjoy with every comfort to ensure your stay is memorable.
