Pamela, Long Beach

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
It is VERY expensive for what it is—essentially a nice roadside motel. There are very few dining options so it has a kitchen but no plates or bowls. The bed was very soft for any back health and the TV didn’t work. To be fair, it is in the mountains but to rely only on satellites means it doesn’t work much of the time.

Fabulous well equipped motel at Aoraki/Mt Cook

This is a fabulous place to stay in Aoraki/Mt Cook village. The room was spacious and well equipped. The owners also sent a useful welcome email advising of eating options and advsing you to bring any groceries you needed due to the lack of a supermarket at Aoraki.

Friendly staff, let us check in early, park right outside room, laundry nearby with free detergent, large clean room with fully stocked kitchen. We ate dinner one night at the Hermitage Hotel and preferred this hotel and were glad we didnt pick Hermitage to stay at because this motel felt quieter and more easily accessible. It was the best choice in Mt Cook for us. The only improvement would be that it's a row of motel rooms and some, like ours, had some of the mountain views blocked by other motel rooms. It seemed one row of rooms had unobstructed views of Mt Cook mountains, so I'm not sure how to request one of those rooms, but it would have been an even better stay than our already pretty great stay if i had booked one of those rooms. Highly recommend this motel.

For the price, probably one of the closest places one can stay to Mt. Cook trailhead area. Views are amazing! The place is clean, well maintained, and the staff is friendly. Will stay there again.

Great room, well appointed and had everything I needed in the kitchen for cooking a simple dinner. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was great with a big spa tub. Everything was sparkling clean and I really enjoyed the fabulous coffee machine and they give you a little bottle of milk when you check in for your coffee or tea. I also had great views. Super place I highly recommend.
