The view across the lake is very special and the standard of cuisine is great and the menu well considered. The host is very friendly and great to have a chat with.

The best view I’ve ever had at a hotel
Adam DebAustraliaMagnificent location to round out our two weeks in the South Island, and very friendly staff.
The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. There are only 6 rooms, so it is very intimate. You can interact with other guests in the common areas or you can do your own thing. Views out over the lake…
MartenAustraliaSerenity in its purest form.
If you're looking for a boutique lodging with some of the most insane views of all time, this is your hotel. Lakestone Lodge is incredibly unique, you'll be one of the only people to stay right at the foot of Lake Pukaki…

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Lakestone Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Lakestone Lodge?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lakestone Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lakestone Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Lakestone Lodge?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Lakestone Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Lakestone Lodge?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Lakestone Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lakestone Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
