    Stunning location and views. The Shearers Quarters rooms and facilities were well appointed, warm and comfortable. Great kitchen facilities and lounge area. The log burner and stack of firewood added to the cosy feeling. We definitely plan to stay again and will recommend it to friends as a great place to stay on a South Island road trip.

    No hanging space in the room. Little sound proofing between walls.

    Scenery around was fantastic, bit of a drive on a track to get there but the scenery getting there also terrific. Room and bathrooms were clean Fireplace was great.

    It takes ages to get to and the road there is 25k of gravel and loose stone. Be prepared for a long slow drive there

    Super cute place to stay. Views are amazing. The night sky is so clear

    Love the remoteness and quiet, and the "tour-guide" dog Kenny, who accompanied us on our walk up the hill to view Mt Cook.

    amazing views of mount cook and the stars Our hosts Alana and her dad David were brilliant David took us on amazing 4x4 farm trip We also went for a long walk with Kenny the dog. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen with everything one would require. Also lovely bed linen which aided a very good night’s sleep!

    Everything was excellent, but you need to be ready with the 38 km of gravel road. On the second day, it was easy. And most important this is fully part of the charming location.

    This lodge is highly authentic with the spirit of the pioneers et the exceptional location at the transition of Tasman river and Pukaki lake. We would like to thank Alana who is mastering the farm activities with amazing animals, charming family and the historic lodge. Meeting other travelers in the shared kitchen was a pleasure. Night light is pure and the stars are magic.

    I had an amazing 4 night stay at Mt Cook Station! I stayed in Bill’s hut and it was so cute, comfortable and clean. opening the door every morning was such a treat! and opening the door at night was even more exciting with beautiful views of the Milky Way (bonus - can capture the aurora from Bill’s hut’s doorstep at the right time of year!!!!). A short walk up to the main property for the wonderful communal kitchen and bathrooms. Alana keeps everything spotless and is so hospitable. One of the best properties I’ve stayed at around the world. Value for money +++ Can swim in Lake Pukaki about 10 min drive down the road! so lovely views of snow capped mountains. ps: heads up there’s unsealed roads either way to/from Lake Tekapo or Mount Cook. Can do in 2wd but just be mindful of this fact if you aren’t comfortable with unsealed roads.

    The rooms are small. Good beds but not a lot of place to put your stuff. Some hooks on the wall and a shelf would be perfect.

    The location is just perfect. Breathtaking views.

    although the cabin is very cozy, I still found pricey considering you have to share bathroom and walk to the facilities.

    I loved the views and how remote it is. Alana was very helpful and friendly.

    I liked everything about our stay. Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to noise. Rooms aren't very soundproof but not a big issue for us. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Just gorgeous location. Very peaceful with stunning views of mountains and lake. Nice spot for stargazing too. As an FYI to others, because of remote location (which is part of the appeal imo), do be prepared to travel down a shingle road for a good few kms. Not an issue for us, but something to bear in mind if you're precious about your car/driving a rental. Again, because of remote location, be organised and take food along with you. Lots of walks nearby on property. Kitchen is really well equipped with utensils and cooking basics ie. oil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, etc which is handy. Rooms very clean and tidy. Host Alana is lovely.

    It is a bit remote, but definitely worth the drive on a gravel road.

    Amazing stay! Friendly staff, easy and flexible self-check in, very clean and tidy common areas and rooms. A lot of land to rest one's Eye on. Just a pieceful place to unwind and have a rest.
