Hotels near Aoraki / Mount Cook

"Our stay was a pleasant surprise. The room itself was spotless and very accommodating. The amenities which included plush linens and towels, and the soaps and shampoo were a very good quality. I highly recommend to stay at this property. "

"For the price, this place was good for an overnight stop. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable - we got a great night's sleep. A bit basic amenity-wise. The glacier viewpoint further along the road is very good. Book a table for dinner at one of the village eateries if you want to dine early."

"Excellent hotel although the restaurant was closed which we weren’t expecting. The staff suggested a great place for food just a step away. So all good. Very good breakfast foo included in the room rate "

"The lone staff person I met was friendly and polite. This is mostly a hiker hostel. Our room with the twin beds was totally appropriate (and what was expected for the affordable price). This is not a lux hotel and doesn't sell itself that way. Full bathroom, functional and clean plumbing, a common area kitchen with most of what one needs to prep a meal (bring your own paper towels, maybe plates/glasses and understand this is shared low-cost housing). That said, the facility is in dire need of exterior maintenance. Not sure how they could afford all that needs to be done with the vacancies we saw on our visit, but the grounds and building exterior could use hundreds of hours and maybe thousands of dollars to really dress it up. It has so much potential - if the area through-traffic would support it. There's a restaurant attached to the building, but it is closed. The cafe on the same property wasn't open when we stayed - didn't look to be operational. There is a gas station right across the way, several competing (no vacancy) hotels and hostels, a dairy-type convenience store and two cafes (breakfast and a really crowded and understaffed lunch/dinner/bar) just a block away. Seriously, if you are looking for a place to park your tired legs after hitting the nearby glaciers and hiking trails, or a heli ride/tour, and you aren't seeking fancy, the rooms are totally adequate to sleep. Just don't expect chocolates on your pillow."
