Since so many good reviews we make a special trip here to try. We have ordered the fresh salmon, some sushi's to try it. Salmon meat tasted good the the cut is thicker comparing to other restaurants. We tried the chicken sushi, personally find it is not that great. The indoor sitting area is not too big so could sit outside especially in warm day.

An absolute must visit! I am glad I came here. There is a sashimi and smoked salmon section with other goods like tea pots, souvenirs and then there is a cafe which overlooks the salmon farm. They have sashimi that tastes buttery and rich and smoked salmon with various flavours (really liked it). Inside the cafe they also serve sushi. If you go outside on the deck there are pellets that you can feed the young salmon. Overall, very pleasant experience. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you to the young lady in the fish shop and deli, you were helpful and also thank you to the tall young guy in the cafe.

Popped here for dinner whilst staying in twizel! There is a mix of preprepared food and menu items - seating is all self service! The food was very tasty we got a few things to share! The salmon was all very tasty! Only issue we had was my dad wanted a well done steak which they only cook their steak to be medium rare.

Had dinner at High Country Salmon near Twizel — great experience overall! The salmon sashimi was fresh, tender, and full of flavour. The chowder was a little on the salty side, but the ingredients tasted very fresh. The fries were perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. A nice spot to enjoy good salmon dishes with a lovely atmosphere by the water.

Unfortunately, this restaurant did not meet my expectations. While the salmon was fresh, the sushi itself was cold and tasted as though it had been pre-prepared. I ordered the cooked salmon sushi and the pork belly, but neither dish was enjoyable. The view is decent, but overall, the experience did not justify the visit. I do not plan on returning.

It is different that you order and pay for your food. You then find your own seats and they deliver you with the food. We ordered platter for two. Nice presentation but if you are there for the salmon, order salmon sushi or sashimi only which we should have done. We stayed at Mount Cook Hermitage and this Salmon restaurant would be the closest at 60 km away. Also it is 3km from Twizel, a small village from Mount Cook that you can get reasonable priced food.

Came after the hype and the place was busy with people when we got there. We had to line up for quite long for food orders. When it was our turn the server told us that their kitchen was closed as they had too many orders to make and couldn’t make new orders anymore. We were very disappointed of course as we came all the way to try their salmon and all we could get was anything ready at the counter. We got some sashimi and sushi for sharing. Honestly they tasted average though salmon was fresh. They had a pond behind the restaurant where you could feed the fishes in it. We quickly finished our lunch as the place was busy and people were waiting for seats. We then went over to the shop next to the restaurant to have a look at what they sell.

Honestly, should be a 4.5 star Sashimi is fresh and neatly packed with chopsticks and soy sauce and wasabi. Smoked salmon tastes good when eaten with sandwich. The view is great, but can be hot in the afternoon. Small shop but serves it's purpose well as a pit stop. Many tourists, toilet is clean.

Like many other tourists, we visited this place. Sashimi was nice and fresh. It seems prices are always increasing. 100gm for $15. 500gm large was $53. I also tried the hot smoked salmon to try. Prices are better than High Country Salmon if you want to only try sashimi only.

When you come to Mount Cook, you must try the salmon sashimi here. This shop is more suitable for takeaway or a simple meal. There’s only one table inside, but there are several outdoor tables where you can enjoy delicious food by the riverside while admiring the scenery and the distant Mount Cook.

The salmon was super delicious and incredibly crunchy, with a perfectly balanced taste. We came back twice! The sashimi is genuinely unbeatable. It was quite windy to sit outside, and finding an empty spot inside this small shop was a challenge. With better weather, the experience would be completely perfect.

Salmon that melts in your mouth like butter… and the most stunning views of Mount Cook! You’ll definitely want to make a stop here. Located next to the i-site. Plenty of parking for all vehicle types, and clean public toilets. This is a great place for a leisurely picnic, coffee or a quick snack on the banks of Lake Pukaki. There are picnic tables along the water front, and a picture perfect spot for noteworthy Instagram posts. The Salmon Shop has the cleanest sashimi I’ve ever tasted. So deliciously melt-in-your-mouth. It was the best I’ve ever had. They have small containers with about 10 to 12 pieces for $15, served with wasabi and soy. Their smoked salmon dip is $15 each or 20% off if you buy two (which we did). This was a beautiful treat we enjoyed later at sunset paired with a lovely crisp glass of Pinot Gris. They also sold fresh caviar and wasabi, different cuts of salmon, crackers and some great condiments that pair beautifully. You could also purchase cold drinks, filter coffee, tea, and a yummy hot “lemon honey and ginger” drink (which was so good we came back for seconds). This was great for soothing my partner’s sore throat he’d been struggling with. A small section of the shop had upmarket tourist souvenirs which were far better than many of the junky things you might find at the usual tourist shop. Whether you’re a salmon lover or not I definitely recommend a stop here. The view alone is worth Gold, and I’m sure you’ll be a sashimi convert once you’ve tried this most delicious treat!

Fresh salmon and with the best view to eat at. I would recommend if you are in the area. People had also brought their own noodles to eat with salmon. Which I thought was a great idea

Fresh salmon sashimi that are cut too small. Very nice view around the place (scenery is not part of the shop, is free). Quite expensive, $15 for 100g (1 small box). Place is often crowded but they serve very fast.

We were in a group of 4, so we had two cabins. Our experience was the most fabulous and exciting two night stay. We were greeted like family friends and found everything just beautiful. Laying in bed of an evening we were able to view endless satellites and shooting stars plus lucky enough for snow on the mountains right next to us and the gorgeous farm and wildlife animals. The food in town of an evening was fabulous and an easy five min drive. We would recommend this stay to all that are available to do so, Just Brilliant

Outstanding!!! This has been on my 'bucket' list for a long time and was worth the wait. We were lucky to have both clear skies and a thunder storm and both were spectacular with the glass roof and remote location. Service was terrific and they cater for coeliacs with breakfast. Highly recommend.

Look, it was a cloudy rainy night and we couldn’t see a single star but I would still 100% stay here again. You cannot control the weather and actually it was cool to hear the raindrops on the glass roof. Lovely spot. Exactly as advertised. Can’t wait to give it another shot on my next trip.

The place is truly magical. We spent a wonderful evening soaking in the hot tub under a starry night sky, losing track of time until 10 PM. It's an unparalleled way to connect with nature. We can't wait to return in autumn!

Very cool accommodation, super unique and definitely a highlight of our NZ trip. Got an awesome view of the stars and really enjoyed the hot tub + the property it’s on is beautiful!

The SkyScape accommodation was amazing. Even though we had cloudy conditions our entire stay, the room was still an oasis. We thoroughly enjoyed the soaking tub and complete remoteness with amazing views. The bed is super comfortable, bathroom and kitchen area were pristine. Twizel is a very small town so visitors should be prepared ahead for food options. The skyscape had all the essentials for breakfast and even mimosas! Its essential to arrive during the daylight to be sure an easy drive to find your room.

It was an excellent experience, we enjoyed the peace and the sound of nature in the room. The room is well equipped and provided an excellent vibes and coziness. Highly recommend it!! We love it very much!

Delicious! 100% must stop here after going to the National Park! Got the honey lavender frozen yogurt. It had great taste and perfect balance of richness and tanginess to it. We liked that better than the ice cream.

Loved stopping by this lavender farm after visiting mount cook. Their ice cream was very delicious, I highly recommend the lavender vanilla but you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. About 2 and a half hours after leaving the farm, we found out my husband lost his phone. We messaged the owners of the lavender farm a couple hours after closing and they searched for his phone and found it. His phone had the majority of our reservations and we’d be so lost without it. I’m very thankful the owners took their time after closing to find our phone. Definitely visit the farm and support these folks.

Lavender Alpine Mount cook road in New Zealand is a delightful destination with something for everyone.Mount cook road Alpine Lavender one of the largest certified organic lavender farms in the Southern Hemisphere. The highlight is their wide variety of unique and flavorful ice creams, sure to please every taste bud. The farm itself is stunning, with vast lavender fields offering a serene and picturesque setting. They also have excellent seating arrangements, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. There’s plenty of parking available, and the friendly staff ensure a welcoming experience. Highly recommended for a sweet treat and a peaceful day out.

This is a great place. Walk around and relax! Click a few pictures! We found this lovely Lavendar farm and shop! The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. And there are lavender flavoured ice cream! Not to mention products made with Lavendar oils etc.

First time visit. It was drizzling when we reached, but it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits when enjoying the delicious lavender ice cream. We were also allowed by the owner to explore the lavender farm for free (due to the “miserable weather” in her words; normal charge is NZ$5). We also bought a set of 3 Lavender oils (NZ$81). Would visit again when travelling between Mount Cook and other areas such as Lake Tekapo, Twizel and Queenstown.

Amazing lavender field located on the road to Mt. Cook. This place is so good to have a small rest and relax. You can enter this place by paying a small fee of $5. There are a lot of lavender products available to purchase at the office. Also, there is a ice cream truck which sells a many flavoured ice cream including lavender. Inside the field you can sit and relax on the chairs placed between the plants. Also, there are a few bikes you can ride between the lavenders. The place has a great view too.

Must go place in New Zealand, and if you’re on the way to mt cook. The most beautiful lavender farm I have ever seen and because it is 600 meters below the sea level so you still can see this in January ☺️ feeling blessed with this scenic spot.
