Our Podcast

Revive

Wellness and Relaxation

Step away from the hectic pace of life and take time to revive your body, mind and spirit.

We created Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat to be a place of beauty, peace, privacy and rest. The clear, starry skies, ancient glacial landscapes, fresh mountain air and vast open spaces of the Aoraki Mount Cook region inspired our wellness philosophy: Celebrate the power of optimism, make time for reflection and cultivate an active, engaged perspective on life.

Our wellness menu draws inspiration from our indigenous land and culture. Our treatments are based on holistic therapies connecting our guests to their Wairua (spirit) and to our natural environment, encouraging a sense of Hauora (wellbeing).

A wonderful mind and soul retreat with the best view NZ possibly can offer. Best view of all places we stayed in NZ this trip and best meal cooked by Chef Tom. The hosts, Luke and Kaye, are very lovely and attentive to every detail. We did a private stargazing tour and it was marvelous! Luke gave us a tour of the universe. There are lots of activities you can choose from, including tennis, spa, hot tub, sauna, croquet, etc. Best experience of all traveling time.
