The staff were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We had a smooth check in and felt very comfortable in our room. Everything was very clean and comfortable. During our stay they had about 14 in of snow fall which made all the mountains even more dramatic and beautiful. The nearby restaurants were great and walkable. We would love to stay again when we return ro New Zealand. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Aoraki Court Motel was clean and comfortable with larger than usual rooms for this type of accommodation. The shower head was a bit frustrating as it sent a column of water rather than a stream but it was nice and hot when needed on cold days. Parking arrangements mean unloading on a cold, rainy, windy day was difficult without getting wet as there's limited shelter outside the door to the room.

Aoraki / Mount Cook is a beautiful area, the drive to the Village, the walks in the national park, everything is just beautiful, even when it's raining. The room we had was just perfect! The room was comfortable, warm, has everything you need and just outside you see mountains!

Accommodation was very expensive and did not offer the value for the money paid. Uncomfortable bed and linen on bed crumpled and not ironed. The accommodation should have an extractor fan to help remove condensation as well as cooking smells. Crockery was mismatched and the tv too small for the size of the room. The water was not hot. However it was useful to know in advance about the lack of amenities such as groceries and external entertainment available.

The weather didn’t cooperate when we were there for the weekend but we made the best of it. It was great to come back to the motel right in the National Park to dry off in between hikes. We loved the kitchen area to make food, the space in our room, and the heated floors. The bed wasn’t great for us but others might love it.

First of all the view is amazing! Clean, spacious rooms. There is plenty of space for luggage and any hiking equipment. The heated floors are a nice touch and the large radiator heater gets the room nice and toasty. Having a kitchen is convenient as dining options are limited (and expensive) buy what you need beforehand in Twizel. There is also a laundry which is handy as you'll be getting dirty clothes on your daily hikes. Staff are friendly and helpful.
