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 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.

Conditions and location are excellent. Hotel has its own restaurant Price is reasonable and food amounts is very enough. However, it doesn't have lunch and dinner end at 9:00pm. If you come late, you can eat snack only.

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.

Loved it

We really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms seem updated and clean, and had great views (the front rooms have a better view of the mountains of course). Also the on site restaurant was perfect for dinner.

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.

Room with a view down the valley was worth the extra cost. Requested in advance that beds be set as 2 singles. This hadn't been done but was quickly rectified. Limited dining options is our only grumble. Excellent base for a few days

Very nice and convenient in the park. Wish we had a front room with a view of Mt Cook, but room was still nice and had a balcony with a ridgeline view.
