Twizel, New Zealand
Lakestone Lodge
On the western shore of Lake Pukaki, Lakestone Lodge sits where the braided turquoise waters of the Mackenzie Basin meet the lower flanks of the Southern Alps. Recognised in La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking with a score of 95.5 points, it occupies a narrow tier of New Zealand wilderness lodges defined by remoteness, architectural restraint, and direct access to high-country terrain.
