"Our stay at Pukaki Air Lodge was amazing. Such a unique experience being right at the airfield. Not too busy with air traffic but just enough to keep us interested and fascinated by the light aircraft and helicopters with Mt Cook in the distance. Night time stargazing was an added bonus. The rooms were well appointed, comfortable and clean. The common kitchen area provided all you could need for a continental breakfast. Mary was very helpful and informative!! Would highly recommend a stay here if you have a vehicle. Easy drive to Mt Cook."
