The spectacular view is second to none.
We upgraded our room to have a view directly from the bed. Well worth the money. The room was spotless. Large. Well appointed bathroom. Restaurant staff were awesome ( as was the buffet!)

The place is simple yet wonderful- it is tired , it is old and it is like you are back in the 70's but they have kept it clean , warm and welcoming with an incredible view of Mt Cook... unlike other places it has the added value of an old styled lounge, kitchen ,open plan room upstairs for everyone to cook, relax in with an outdoor deck to take in the breathtaking views. Its also a 1 minute walk from the hermitage hotel for your dinner, breakfast or cocktail... the price point, cleanliness and everything close by ...you cannot fault it :-)

The place is lovely and in the middle of nature, the best we had on our 10 days trip on the south island. We stayed in 'Tom's hut', this is detached from the main building but right next to it. The hut is very cosy and the heating is very strong. We also really liked the common areas with the big kitchen and the fireplace with firewood. While staying there, we hiked across the farm and beyond on land that's not public to enjoy the beautiful scenery, a unique experience. Thanks Alana for being so helpful and for her kids showing us the farm animals :)

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.

Being able to see the glacier from the top part of the village. Our fantastic day trip to Lake Tasman to get close to icebergs and and the glacier at one end of the lake. (not the glacier seen from the village).

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. 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.

Comfortable, spacious room. Comfy beds, nice bathroom. Good to have a kitchen to prepare your own meals, (especially given the limited dining options at Mt Cook right now, most places are closed due to staff shortages). Make sure to grab your groceries in Twizel, there's no supermarket at Mt Cook. Much cheaper than the hotel, especially considering that you can make your own meals here.
The location is great if you're staying in Mount Cook, with it only being < 5-minute walk from the Hermitage hotel. Keep in mind though, it's important to make sure you bring your own food if you want to avoid the overpriced buffet service at the Hermitage hotel. The lodge has a kitchen space on level 2 that you can leverage to save money.
Comfortable , quiet apartment which sleeps 4, park right outside. Basic kitchen enabled us to cook breakfast and alternate dinners and enjoy the buffet at the hotel too. Housekeeping visited every afternoon. Reception at the hotel organised for more kitchen equipment as we were missing a frypan. Bathroom fine with lots of hot water
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.
The location is within reach of the visitor centre so if you want to know more about Aoraki Mt Cook, this is the place. Head to Hermitage Hotel as there is a museum there for Sir Edmund Hillary and a planetarium that regularly has shows. These places are just a short walk from the lodge.
affordable and cosy hostel in Mount Cook village, great views across the mountains and easy access to lots of hikes. it’s wooden interior is rustic but very cosy, and there was good heating and plenty of blankets to stay cozy - and a good sized and clean kitchen.
The hotel offered excellent view of the Mount Cook. The room was soundproof which suitable for rest. The mattress was soft and comfortable. Dinner was excellent with fresh and plenty of choices.
Perfectly situated to be so close to glacier.
Very isolated little place, needed to bring all food, though there was a hotel up the road.
Great for walking, or just relaxing..
Amazing location, tucked into valley--both beautiful and convenient to hiking tracks; view of Aoraki from the window of our room, interesting history, brand new comfortable rooms
We absolutely loved everything about this hotel. Breathtaking views, great facilities, very comfortable rooms, but best of all, the staff were just exceptional. All of them.
