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.
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.

Have previously stayed at YHA Mt Cook, and it has undergone a huge upgrade since converting to Haka House. Each dorm room is very practical; each bed has hooks for hanging, curtains for privacy, powerpoints and a lamp and little cubbies for personal items. The lockers are good sizes too. Communal spaces have been redone and there is plenty of space to relax. Staff were accommodating in allowing us to use card to rent towels rather than necessitating cash, given the only ATM at Hermitage Hotel was out of order.
The view was absolutely fantastic -- we could tell the bed itself was usually two twin beds pushed together since there was a ridge in the middle. The pillows were great, but the bed wasn't super comfy. I'd expect a bit nicer of a bed for the price. We also noticed that the hallway light illuminated the room when it was nighttime and my partner, who struggles with waking up from things like this, needed to wear the eye mask I brought (luckily we brought one!). The hotel staff were absolutely wonderful as well.
Mt Cook is a remote location and this hotel is amongst the only ones there. We had booked a 2 bedroom villa - excellent views of the snow capped mountains, very friendly reception staff , easy to pick up keys even a little late, car parking in front of the villa. The house is well insulated , irrespective of the temperatures outside. Comfy beds, neat, clean , daily service provided . We didnt go to the restuarants so cant comment on those . The best was the jaccuzi -most relaxing after the trek.
such a great hostel! newly renovated! the rooms were amazing and felt really private with privacy curtains, outlets, shelves and reading lights! they had extra blankets which was so nice! the kitchen was really great and they had everything we needed! the facilities were amazing! the location was serene! about a 20 minute walk from all the tracks in the park!
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.
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.
Great base to explore Aoraki & the surrounding area. Clean rooms and bathroom. Mini kitchen was convenient and equipped with all required cutlery. There was a carport for each room and a small backyard that links with the neighbouring rooms.
Beds were very comfy. The mountain view from the room was not bad. The kitchen was thankfully well equipped as we had to whip up a few dinners because besides the main restaurant in the main hotel, there wasn't any restaurants around.
Great view for the rooms looking toward mountains.
The shower was nice, modern and large.
The three course dinner at the main hotel (Hermitage) was outstanding! Views from the bar before dinner was also unbeatable on a clear day
Beautiful mountain views. Parking is convenient. A short drive or walk away to a hotel restaurant, and scenic walks in the Mount Cook area. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Room is very comfortable, fully equipped and clean.
