      We were astonished on the room that was given to us. We stayed at 8th flr of the hotel where the room was neatly prepared and a huge window facing the mountains that we thought it was just an art frame when walked in! The staff Oni was really accommodating and friendly. Toilets are clean and room was spacious. We’d love to come back again and stay at this hotel. 😊

      Beautiful view out of the window, the room is clean and modern except the kitchen which is a bit out dated but we mostly ate at the cafeteria onsite which offered great food and a view of the mountains. It is in the perfect location where you walk to the trails. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will recommend to anyone.

      The Motel Rooms are Perfect!”

      We stayed in the motel rooms away from the lodge (walking distance). The rooms have been recently redecorated. They are large, clean, warm and comfortable. Layout is perfect with kids. Put your child to bed in the bedroom and still enjoy some own time in the lounge where the other queen is. Excellent full kitchen too. The lodge was actually closed, including the bar due to fewer customers? So breakfasts and meals were at the hermitage. Recommend bringing ingredients for some dinners because the prices and service (speed) was pretty average.

      Exceptionally clean motel studio. Spacious. Toiletries provided. Quality towels and linen. Comfy bed. We stayed three nights. Self catered, as full oven provided. Good location within walking distance of all hikes (depending on what level of walker you are). We had good weather so saw mountains in clear stunning glory. This is one of our pricier stays in NZ but was worth it for the location of the hikes we wanted to do. Don’t bother having coffee in the Mountaineers cafe, too expensive for a cup the size of an egg cup!

      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.
