We were unaware that ALL dining options in the entire village were closed other than the buffet which cost $83 per person - how convenient! We had to cop it on the first night and get cold food from the cafe and store it in the mini fridge for the second night. They know how to make their money.

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 stayed for 2 nights. Very clean and modern room. Great shower and comfortable room. Loved being in the park for convenience to hiking. We weren’t thrilled with the pub or buffet though and there are very limited dining options in the park. We knew that going in, but probably wouldn’t stay here again for only that reason.

Very interesting place

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, it's nice to come back to the Mount Cook Lodge where it's a little quieter and there are a fewer tourists.
It was nice to have a bench outside our unit to take in the views.

Great location to stay if visiting Mt Cook

Valley view room was superb, room clean and comfortable. Would have given 5 stars across the board however, still some issues they need to work out regarding their heater and telephone. Heater stopped working after we came back from dinner, luckily we found some extra blankets to keep us warm overnight. Phone was not working either.

Great position and stunning views

Beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony. Motel style with bar and restaurant. Room was nice, reception area had an awful smell, not sure what is was, possibly the carpet. However, we were not staying in reception! So overall a nice property.
