"Decent enough for the price, booked before looking at reviews and got a bit nervous when we read through them but the place was fine. A little rough around the edges but the actual room was fine, tidy, bed was clean, and bathroom was functional which is all you need. For the price and location I would stay again."

"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."

"Great location, beautiful gardens, friendly staff, warm and comfortable room and the in-room treats were appreciated and enjoyed. Would happily stay again."

"Very clean room. It’s in a great location. Breakfast was great and the front desk left us a note when we were running late to check in. Overall it’s a nice place to stay but some of the paint on the drywall was messy and the drains were a little smelly. Something you might expect from a mountain lodge."

"The room was super cute and the amenities in our studio were better than I expected. The onsite laundry was a big plus.
The location is great - a couple blocks to the beach, not far from the Cathedral Cove track, and a ten minute drive to Hot Water Beach. There’s also a store and cafe next door. Highly recommended."

Delightful vintage property.

We stayed here while driving from the South Island to the North Island. It was a lovely place to stop, relax and recharge after doing a lot of driving. We had dinner at the lodge and it was delicious and fresh, all from their garden, and I would absolutely stay here again.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

Our room was huge, clean and had plenty of seating and blankets. The host was lovely and the included breakfast (make your own eggs and cereals, fruit, yogurt) was fantastic. The views were spectacular from the upstairs lounge and from the big shared kitchen. It would have been nice to have a space in the bathroom to put our toilet kits but other than that the stay was perfect.

Tracee was a perfect host. She greeted us when we came. She even gave me a bottle of prosecco for my birthday. How cute is that! The room was very clean and warm. Thank you Tracee.

This was a great location and fairly priced. The hosts go out of their way to provide extras like each towels. Public transportation to downtown Christchurch and airport is about 1 block away and runs every 15 minutes until late. There are lots of restaurants nearby along with grocery, pharmacy, and coffee shops.
