Trailfinders' Sandor Duignan gives an insight into Lakestone Lodge
Lakestone Lodge Expert Review
Sandor Duignan
Lakestone Lodge is a really nice property right on Lake Pukaki. The rooms are really big and comfortable, and the food at this hotel is amazing. It’s a set menu with something different every night and was probably the best food we had in New Zealand.
It’s a 30 minute drive to Mount Cook from the hotel, and here we had blue skies and sunshine with stunning scenery. Or it’s also a short drive to Lake Tekapo which has plenty of activities. The hotel offers complimentary bicycles so you can head out and cycle around Lake Pukaki for a day trip.
Top tip: You can do a stargazing tour that the hotel offers which I highly recommend, although it’s worth noting that it’s not on every day.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
