Adventure
Matakauri Lodge offers a super range of exciting and thrilling adventures for adrenaline junkies. Try Canyoning, just minutes from the lodge, plunging into pools, cascading down chutes, abseiling down waterfalls and swimming narrow passageways as you embark on this unique aquatic adventure. If river rafting has your name written all over it, why not white-water raft on the Shotover or Kawarau rivers, through tunnels and Lord of the Rings locations while learning the rivers' gold mining history, or sway on the world's highest swing across a 70-metre-long suspension bridge as you freefall, creating an immense adrenaline rush.
Luxury Family Holidays
Families of all sizes and ages are guaranteed endless fun at Matakauri Lodge. The lodge provides excellent little luxuries and amenities to make your stay as pleasant as possible, including babysitters, toys, games and much more.

Otherwise, gently cruise across Lake Wakatipu to the Walter Peak Station and enjoy a farm tour on the Earnslaw Cruises & Farm Tours. With many other activities to try, Matakauri Lodge will certainly create unforgettable memories.
