Disappointing tiny room & bathroom. Stunning Views
Was disappointed in this hotel. We booked here because we were scheduled to do the stargazing there. We booked 6 months out and 1 week before our trip, we were notified that they were cancelling the stargazing for our night due to "Operational Issues". The night of our stay, nothing was running so there was really little to do. Our room was the absolute tiniest room I have ever stayed - barely even enough room for us to walk around the bed. No room for luggage. The bathroom was almost absurdly tiny. The sink was the size of a tiny RV sink. Couldn't even fill a cup up with water it was so small. They put us at the very very end of the building and the WiFi did not reach. So, if I needed internet, I had to take my computer to the lobby. Also, the only dinner option AT ALL was a full buffett for an absurd amount of money. We just wanted a small, light dinner, but that wasn't an option. The only plus was the views of Mount Cook - Stunning... That is the ONLY thing that keeps this place in business. The shop had absolutely NOTHING you would want to buy. Overall a big disappointment - except for the beautiful view....

Mt. Cook Gem
Great property overlooking Aoracki/Mt. Cook. Fabulous visitor’s center next door with hiking trails nearby. Food at their restaurant was OK. Not as good as price that was charged suggested. Room was comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay, parking was a problem, due to inconsiderate parking from other guests, dining options were good, we looked at the buffet menu and what was on offer, which looked really nice, but we decided it was too expensive for the amount we would eat, so opted for the cafe instead, where we were able to share a pizza and fries. The location was great for the area we wanted to explore, the rooms were comfortable, and our room had a lovely view from the balcony
