We had one of the most memorable stays at the Lakeside Retreat. The villa was beautifully appointed. The outside area outstanding. The views of lake Pukaki are amazing. A private gym, A private massage room, A private sauna and hot tub. The delivered 3 course dinner each night was delicious with chef Tom using locally sourced produce with vegetables & herbs grown in their very own garden. It is a very special place to stay. Thanks guys for having us x

Beautifully designed villa with style and comfort. Having the chef cook for us was wonderful. We really relaxed so much. We even did a 1000 piece jigsaw - when does anyone ever have the time for that! The hot tub was great. And there were so many brilliant complimentary touches to make it feel luxurious.

What an absolutely amazing place. Luke and Kaye have created a magical oasis away from everything, with majestic views of the Ben Ohau Ranges and Lake Pukaki. The villa we stayed in was gorgeously appointed, with every detail thought of - down to marshmallows for roasting on the open fire. We loved every moment of our stay and felt thoroughly spoiled the entire time.

Our stay was a treat for my husbands belated big birthday :-) and we had a marvelous time. The villa is beautiful and the surroundings stunning. The communication was great and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. We loved the "big things" as in the beautiful 3 course meal and the yummy breakfast, the incredible scenery and the luxery and the hot pool. But we also so enjoyed the "little things" like the marshmallows for the fire, the whiskey after our wonderful walk, the board games. Well done team. It was a very memmorable stay.
