New Zealand’s Best Hot Tub Holiday

Travel Journalist Brook Sabin Visits Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat

Travel journalist Brook Sabin visited Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat. He toured Ashley Mackenzie Villa and called its spa tub “New Zealand’s most spectacular hot tub.”

He wrote:

“Then, you spot the pièce de résistance. At the edge of the hill, overlooking the lake and mountains is New Zealand’s most spectacular hot tub. Here, you can soak up a magnificent sunset before returning to your villa for a chef-prepared three-course meal.”

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome, and knew we were in for a special experience. We weren’t disappointed. The accommodation is so comfortable and beautiful, the setting and views are superb, even on an overcast day, and then there was the most amazing food delivered to our villa each day. Every one of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was all so good we booked an additional night! We really enjoyed the outdoor hot tub on the cold nights, gazing up at an incredible starry sky, and also loved taking the owners’ two Springer Spaniels for a walk on the numerous tracks. All in all, just perfect really, we couldn’t fault it, and will be back for sure! This place is a credit to the NZ travel industry.
