A lovely studio with a full kitchen a separate bedroom, nice sitting /din. area and queen bed&Patio”

It was a little pricey in comparison to other places we stayed in New Zealand. We got it at the last minute and there wasn’t much else available in Mt Cook. We were glad we brought groceries in our cooler though. We would have brought more if we’d known there was a full kitchen. The email I rec’d from Mt Cook Lodge & Motels upon my booking thru Agoda was confusing and I couldn’t confirm anywhere online if we got a kitchen or not. Otherwise it was a beautiful studio with a nice view, not of Mt Cook but the surrounding mountains which were beautiful. I’d stay there again.

Magnificent Mount Cook!”

Excellent location. We stayed in the motel, essentially a studio unit with cooking facilities overlooking the mountains. Unit was well equipped and clean. Food in the lodge is limited to Bar and Grill so best to prepare prior to coming if you wanna DIY rather than eating bar food, waiting times can be long for dinner. We did the afternoon walk in Hooker Valley to the glacier lake, long but sceneries is just priceless. And also the star gazing tour at night: money worth spending, guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Mount Cook was the climax of our short one week adventure in the South islands!

Wonderful stay, great accommodation ”

Our stay at Mt Cook Lodge and Motels was amongst the best of our month-long visit to New Zealand. The weather was fantastic which meant we were able to enjoy the stunning scenery and surroundings from the comfort of our family apartment. The family apartment was ideal for us as two friends travelling together and everything was excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Great choice of food options for such a small place. The only slight downside was the WiFi which was very limited, possibly not surprising given the location. I can not recommend this highly enough, other than to say that our two night stay was barely enough. We could have had a much longer stay very happily. However, that might not have been the case had the weather not been as good as it was. Highly recommend this!

Can be better”

We are somehow upgraded to the hotel from the Mt Cook Lodge & Motels, however the view we expected was totally different from what we booked. We suppose to have a mountain view, in the end we have a hotel connecter view. Its disappointing, but most of the time we are out and overall experience was considerable comfortable. The last thing is, when we ask for some utensils, the staff from room service cannot help to arrange and send to our room? We are asked to go and take on our own from the restaurant.... you say this is a hotel so please bring out some hotel standard in your service. Thank you

Convenient and comfy! Wifi is available...at a cost.”

The location is a dream if you intend to hike around the Mount Cook area and not relish having to drive up and down Lake Pukaki a few times. Room is well-stocked, spacious and clean. Our key complaint is that no free wifi is available despite accommodation in Mount Cook Village isn't exactly the cheapest around. This complaint has also been heard at the reception. Although the wifi can be purchased at $5 per day (Inexpensive by any means), it is not quite conceivable how patrons should be separately charged for such a basic amenity. The staffs here are courteous, friendly and professional.

Top satisfaction”

Merioni's smile at front desk made our day during our checked-in and checked-out, special thanks to her for our room upgrade. It's my partner's birthday trip to Mount Cook and it coincides with our 18-monthsary celebration. We love the room with balcony, overlooking the majestic Mount Cook. So serene and peaceful. We were blessed to witness the Supermoon that shines the brightest as it makes its final appearance for 2017. So thank you again to Merioni and everyone else at the Front Desk and the Housekeeping staff.

excellent hotel”

Mt cook Lodge&motels is excellent, you can see the mountain just stay in the room ,it is amazing, the room is very clean ,the facilities are perfect ,and the foods are very delicious in the restaurant I think the hotel is so excellent more than my expection , we'd like to come here again, thanks!

Good Service by staff”

I enjoyed my stay at Mt Cook Lodge & Motel and the room and beds were value for money (I stayed in the 4 person dorm which was a hotel room converted with 2 double deck beds). The best bit of the Mt cook Lodge and Motel was the staff service and in this i would like to commend especially Mr Eueta (sorry if i got the name wrong spelt wrongly) who was the front desk Manager on the day i checked out. He was helpful in my queries and I sensed he goes to great lengths to ensure comfort of all guests of Mt Cook Lodge and Motels. He assisted me in getting a ride up the the pick up point at another lodge for the intercity bus. I wish him and all the staff of Mt cook Lodge and Motel all the best for the future

Exceptional”

Pros: Very nice and big room, the actual scene is just like the pictures on the website You get a restaurant which has OK food with reasonable price for the night Very close to the tracks for Mount Cook Cons: No free Wifi (5 dollars for unlimited for a day) The exterior of the motels look old, but its new in the inside

One of the best motel in Mt Cook”

I have visited this Mt Cook Lodge and Motel twice this year, last April use lodge with mountain view with common kitchen. But this month we use motel (still same area with reception and lodge), we like this motel with mountain view and a good facilities. Thanks for all.

Would recommend, but with caution ”

The accommodation was fine, although There is not enough parking capacity in the designated parking area. . Mount Cook is hardly a “village”. It is two hotels and some hostel/backpacker accommodation. The only shop of any kind is in the Hermitage hotel and it offers almost no food supplies except junk food. The food in the very busy bar in Mount Cook Lodge (apparently only open in the evening) was good and not outrageously priced, but breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Hermitage Hotel, promoted by the check in staff, was too expensive.

Excellent stay in Mount Cook”

We booked private unit here, and this place make us really surprise (perhaps I can blaim because insufficient info in Agoda). Room was spacious and clean, separate into bedroom and living room + kitchen (this make us feel guilty that we didnot bought foods from Twizel). You also can access room directly from car park, really convenient. Definitely we will stay here if we have a chance to visit Mount Cook again.

Excellent location with lovely view”

The location is excellent with superb views of Mount cook and other mountains. The staff is good and helpful. But the property and facilities lack in terms of value for money. Same breakfast is repeated everyday (atleast for the days we stayed). Facilities like spa pool and heated pools must be considered by the hotel as you are paying almost a five star price for three star property. Although anything in this remote location is much appreciated.

Cute, rustic accommodation right int he foot of Aoraki-Mt Cook”

Lovely accommodation right at the foothills of Mt Aoraki-Cook. We stayed in the motel unit and this is the true motel where the car to the door was barely 2 metres. The unit was decorations was lovely and each unit has a nice little garden. The foot at Chamois was affordable and delicious. We start some of our activities from the Hermitage and felt that the the motel side was far nicer and homelier than the Hermitage.

Exceptional”

We were in the motel family unit, if I had known how awesome this space would be I would have stayed longer. Brand new interior in cottage unit, great beds, nice little kitchenette, deck, dining table, sofa. Everything you need in Mt Cook is walking distance. Great spot, liked it better than the Hermitage hotel which was full of bus tour groups.

Nice scenic view”

The hotel is at very strategic location. Hotel door is facing mount aoraki direction. Can cook in the hotel, but you need to buy the groceries before you arrive this area. The Hermitage has one convenient shop but only sell very basic food (snacks). The hotel restaurant only start operate at 3pm (with light bites). And the dinner time is start from 5.30pm. Make sure you have prepare something for breakfast.

Lovely staffs and great accommodation”

Mt Cook Lodge has staffs from different countries and all of them are sweet. The entire place is clean and the restaurant serves delicious food. They provide shuttle bus to the starting point of hiking tracks, but it's probably only available to group visitors and the elder

Exceptional”

Very nice, very modern and very clean rooms. Nice amenities, nice view of Mt Cook. Adding an outdoor bench to bask in nature is a nice touch. Color motif of interior is also nice. Room is spacious. Bathroom is clean. Complete cooking and eating utensils. Very pleasant stay. Free shuttle to Hermitage is also very appreciated.

Great place - terrible weather”

Unfortunately the weather was unkind to us while we were in Mt Cook with wind, rain and snow, but the upside was that we got to see a winter wonderland in November. Our motel style unit was clean with a good bathroom and everything we needed in the small kitchen. The staff were great, extremely friendly and helpful from the time we walked in the door.

Lovely stya”

We were very happy with our stay. The process of checking in and out was smooth. We got the room facing mount cook and it was great. Room was very clean and had all the amenities needed. Requested for a late check out and the receptionist was kind enough to allow us to check out 30 minutes late.
