Lovely renovated room, a little small but for two people it was great. It was fabulous to stay right at Mt Cook National Park and this was a highlight. Dinner was great and had great choices. Amazing location.

The check-in location was very confusing. When I FINALLY located it, there was no parking out front. The 2 women at the reception were not very friendly. The grounds outside all around and the buildings exterior of the motels themselves were rundown. Paint chipping and peeling on exterior and doors, mildew, weeds growing out front, muddy and plant droppings all right outside of entrance. Overpriced and NO AMENITIES. The inside was surprisingly decent and clean.

This place exceeded my expectations! I initially thought it would be more like a lodge or motel, but it turned out to be beautifully luxurious and incredibly cozy. The bed is very comfortable, and the room is spacious and well-appointed. The staff are generally friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The only slight downside is that the view isn’t particularly impressive, but everything else more than makes up for it. Highly recommended! 🌟

We had an amazing experience at Mt Lodge during our visit to Mt Cook. The location is stunning, the lodge is clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Wei at reception – she was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She gave us excellent recommendations for local hiking tracks, many of which we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of the area really helped us make the most of our trip. Highly recommend Mt Lodge to anyone visiting Mt Cook – we’ll definitely be back!

Very quiet considering the number of rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Small, but enough space. Comfy bed. Heated tiles in bathroom were so lovely after a long day hiking in the snow. The laundry was a reasonable walk and a little hard to find, even with directions. Limited food options especially Monday and Tuesday nights, so be organised or prepared to pay $$$ for dinner at the Hermitage. It was good food but expensive. Dinner at the Chamois onsite was good food and reasonable priced, but only open Wednesday to Sunday.

The motel is one of the best I ever stayed in during my New Zealand trip. It is new, parking is convenient, service is good. It is also near to the Tasman Valley track. I love my stay over there.

There was only one dinner option the first night - $85 pp buffet. It was nice, but more than I’d have liked to spend. From Wednesday to Sunday there’s another cheaper option at the lodge which served really great pizza and burgers. Super convenient for all that the national park has to offer. You just need to be aware of the food situation and be organised.

I think everything about the accommodation was perfect. However, since it was the low season, we went to the front desk of the Hermit Hotel to check in. There were four staff members at the counter, but only two computers were available for use. As a result, we had to wait a long time. Moreover, there was no clear queuing system, and three families cut in line directly in front of us. Although we raised this issue with the front desk, they told us we still had to wait behind them, which made me feel very unfair.
