Super easy to collect keys that were left for us in a secure box. The shared kitchen is large and well equipped. Lovely living space and even with several other couples staying it never felt cramped or busy. Clean shared bathrooms and comfy beds. A lovely stay

A must stay location for Mt Cook! It is remote and away from all the crowd which makes it more peaceful and scenic. So much history at the location with a little museum on the property. It is run by a very kind and lovely family. I felt right at home and safe. Absolutely loved the walks around the property, the animals and watching the sunset and sunrise. I can't wait to come back and recommend it to others.
Towels were provided and the bathroom was spacious.The outdoor area was great to eat, read a book or just watch the sunset.
Amazing place, surrounded by mountains.
There are limited options for entertainment/dinning, however it offers endless options for walks of all grades, hikes, nature photography.
Must visit for all nature lovers.

We did a 19 day road trip around the lower North Island, and Mount Cook Village was my favourite place to stay. Id love to go back again some time. Sadly for us due to being delayed due to issues with the interislander we only got to stay here for one night. We took an amazing scenic flight and landed on the Tasman glacier. We had the perfect day for it. The smorgasbord restaurant at the Hermitage was fantastic, one of the better smorgasbord's Ive had. I would love to come back here some day and do some of the shorter walks around the area and just to experience this majestic place once more.

The village is located in an amazing place.
The village is located in an amazing place. If are self catering while in the village you will need to bring your supplies with you. There is very limited grocery items for sale.
There is a cafe and restaurant located in the Hermitage complex. The other dining places are closed.

There is limited accommodation at Mount Cook village and it is all expensive. There are many well marked and maintained paths from the road end which allow walks off between one hour and six hours to be safely undertaken. There are no shops or independent restaurants or food outlets, unless you are self catering, you will have to eat in the expensive hotels. The most economical way to visit would be by Campervan bringing all of your supplies with you The self catering options are limited to the motel, which is in my opinion, overpriced for the accommodation it offers.

I did not like Mt Cook Village at all. Hard to get around.
I did not like Mt Cook Village at all. Hard to get around. Nowhere to buy food or snacks and restaurant closed during the day. Inflated prices. I think our experience would have been much better but unfortunately the weather was dreadful and hence we had no views and were unable to do our planned walk. All in all it was a very disappointing experience.

My husband and I have stayed in other hotels in the area, and have to say Aoraki Court Motel is the best by far. The room had good space and was well cleaned. You can park directly in front of your room and don’t have to deal will stairs but still have an amazing view of the mountains. All the staff we’ve met were lovely. Will definitely stay here again.
The room was on the ground floor. The common kitchen and lounge was amazing with plenty of room for multiple people preparing and eating meals. The lounge faced Aoraki and when it was clear, the view was breathtaking. Being close to the trailheads deep in the valley was fantastic. The bathroom was cozy but had a wonderful shower.
Location, walking distance to beautiful visitor center and short drive to trail heads. Walking distance to restaurants.Community Room was large with lots of kitchen appliances, kitchen items, lots of tables, chairs and lounge area. Deck with tables, chairs and two grills. On a clear day excellent views of Mt Cook.
Great room, very quiet and clean.
The manager was very friendly and gave some good local advice.
We had a great view of the glaciers near Mount Cook, but couldn't see the mountain itself.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Aoraki Court Motel and recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
Location was good. As there, we couldn't find any grocery store, we were told bring our requirements along with us. This is somewhat cumbersome. Excepting a cafe there are no restaurants. Otherwise you need to spend good money in an expensive restaurant inside a very good hotel at Aoraki Village.
In Mount Cook village are no possibilities to go out at night. This is why everyone in the hostel is gathering in the community areas and as a solo traveller you get easily in touch with other travellers.
Very clean, very well equipped. Even offer blankets in case you get cold.
We stayed at the Hermitage during the Covid-19 Red Traffic Light setting. The Hermitage kept us informed of the changes made by the hotel to keep us safe during our stay. They were very efficient and very attentive. The team was friendly and helpful.
The location of the property in Mount Cook village is a convenient starting point for exploring the region and Hooker valley track. The view is amazing. The amenities are basic but comfortable. Do bring your own toiletries
Great experience. Lovely staff who always helped us with everything. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds that don't squeak like in other hostels. The best location and there is also a sauna as a bonus.
Great location, convenient to hook valley track. But there is no restroom inside the room, privacy was a problem. The youth hotel was built with wood, sound insulation couldnot be guaranted.
Nice fancy hotel stop for us with our 6 month old. Great laundry facility, warm rooms and just a beautiful place to sit and have a beer while viewing Mt Cook and the surroundings.
