World class hotel facilities in a beautiful, remote location. I definitely feel I got my money’s worth for the comfort and services offered at this spotless, spacious hotel in the middle of a National Park.

I really like this place because it's cozy, clean, and well-maintained. The facilities are great, offering everything I need. It feels comfortable and easy to settle into, whether for work or relaxation.
Johana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Kurt, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

Looks completely different from the pictures, and theres a weird smell in the lodge
Arya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We got upgraded to the Hermitage because of limited capacity during winter season. It was a nice upgrade in terms of us getting complimentary breakfast but it also meant that we could not cook our own food. There was no kitchenette at the Hermitage. The Hermitage was an old hotel and honestly has seen better days. It is dated but at least it is clean. Breakfast spread was great too.
Judith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very interesting place

We found the Mount Cook Lodge & Motel to be very unique, in that the units were like small apartments. They had a kitchen, and besides a queen bed in the main room with a pullout sofa and a table, there was a separate bedroom with two twin beds. The bathroom had a heater, which was nice for cold mornings. Everything is close together, so even if you go do activities in the Hermitage, it's nice to come back to the Mount Cook Lodge where it's a little quieter and there are a fewer tourists.
It was nice to have a bench outside our unit to take in the views.

Nice view. Room was comfortable. Dining is a drive away and limits breakfast availability
Helen, 1-night trip

The room was great, staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the Chamois was amazing, better even than the buffet at the Hermitage.

Absolutely stunning view from the hotel. It was clean and comfortable, restaurant was decent.
Brigan, 1-night trip

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.

8/10 Very good

Room above us was noisy. Options to eat and sleep are limited in the whole area, so felt good about the choice to do some great hiking.
