Our stay was a highlight of our 8 day trip to the South Island. The room was clean. The heated floor was a very nice touch. The shower was generous in size. The restaurant staff were friendly. Our only complaint was that the check in process was lengthy as there was only one staff member on the desk - he needed some help!!

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.

Great location for Mount cook national park. Stay was great although they did charge us twice which was inconvenient

We got upgraded to the Hermitage because of limited capacity during winter season. It was a nice upgrade in terms of us getting complimentary breakfast but it also meant that we could not cook our own food. There was no kitchenette at the Hermitage. The Hermitage was an old hotel and honestly has seen better days. It is dated but at least it is clean. Breakfast spread was great too.

We found the Mount Cook Lodge & Motel to be very unique, in that the units were like small apartments. They had a kitchen, and besides a queen bed in the main room with a pullout sofa and a table, there was a separate bedroom with two twin beds. The bathroom had a heater, which was nice for cold mornings.
Everything is close together, so even if you go do activities in the Hermitage, its nice to come back to the Mount Cook Lodge where its a little quieter and there are a fewer tourists.

The view from the room is breathtaking.

Lovely

Nice view. Room was comfortable. Dining is a drive away and limits breakfast availability
