Location was good.
One has to make their own breakfast.
janeUnited StatesFun, unique accomodations - close to Mt Cook and without crowds. Comfortable rooms, bonus lounge.
Large spacious room - with incredible views of mountains both day and night time stargazing. Loved being "on an active small plane strip". Mary was very helpful with recommendations.

Questions about Pukaki Air Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Pukaki Air Lodge?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Pukaki Air Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Pukaki Air 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 Pukaki Air 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 Pukaki Air Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Pukaki Air 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 Pukaki Air 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.
