Planning Something Special?
Looking to book all our lodges for a truly memorable occasion? Our Café and Chapel facilities provide an exceptional backdrop for weddings, celebrations, and private retreats. Together they form a self-contained venue surrounded by the vast landscapes of the Mackenzie Basin — a place where connection, comfort, and nature come together. Price on application.
Te Kohai Café
Te Kōhai Café at Guide Hill offers a warm, contemporary space for shared meals and gatherings — a place to come together over good food, fine wine, and sweeping views of the Mackenzie Basin. Available only to groups booking all eight lodges, it can be used for private dining, retreats, or special celebrations. Guests are welcome to bring their own chef or catering team, or we can help arrange catering options through selected local restaurants and providers.
Lake Pūkaki Chapel
The Lake Pūkaki Chapel at Guide Hill is both a place of quiet reflection and a venue for remarkable gatherings. With space for up to 80 guests, it serves as a stunning setting for weddings, ceremonies, or high-end retreats. Designed to frame views of Aoraki / Mount Cook and Lake Pūkaki, it brings light, stillness, and the surrounding landscape into every moment.
