Our room was extremely large, clean and well appointed. We had the most amazing views of the snowcapped mountains that were right out our sliding glass doors. It was a convenient location in this very small town.

An amazing hostel and location! It reminded me of the hostel in Liechtenstein - well cleaned and spacious for each person. Massive kitchen area with proper recycling bins. Absolutely loved the quiet area and access to the sauna was just amazing after the hikes! Great for stargazing too!
The rooms had enough space for luggage storage and curtain to avoid disturbance.
Haka house provided shower gels, shampoo and conditioner in all their bathrooms which was great!
Glentanner Park is a holiday park and activity center offering affordable accommodations and panoramic views of Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Cook National Park.

The facilities were great. Lots of space to sit for dinner, great views of Aoraki/Mount Cook from the dining area. The location is awesome, only an approx 30 min drive to the park and the walk down to the lake is also very nice.
Featuring garden views, Mount Cook Station Shearers Quarters Lodge in Lake Tekapo features accommodations, a garden, barbecue facilities, and a shared lounge.

Stunning location but best to arrive in the light as 40 mins along gravel road. Lovely authentic property and very comfortable beds!

A must stay location for Mt Cook! It is remote and away from all the crowd which makes it more peaceful and scenic. So much history at the location with a little museum on the property. It is run by a very kind and lovely family. I felt right at home and safe. Absolutely loved the walks around the property, the animals and watching the sunset and sunrise. I can't wait to come back and recommend it to others.
Towels were provided and the bathroom was spacious.The outdoor area was great to eat, read a book or just watch the sunset.
Amazing place, surrounded by mountains.
There are limited options for entertainment/dinning, however it offers endless options for walks of all grades, hikes, nature photography.
Must visit for all nature lovers.

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. 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. 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.

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.
incredible location right in the centre of mount cook village. there’s a very well equipped kitchen in the common dining room (people were cooking fish and mussels, BBQing steak on the patio, drinking wine from provided glasses). excellent view of mount cook from the dining room.
rooms were clean and comfortable but rather basic and cramped for the price.
I really enjoyed the glacier explorer experience during my stay in the hotel. I booked a room with a view of Mt Cook which might not be the perfect view within this hotel. The breakfast exceeded my expectations and is so delicious. The service in the buffet is also amazing. I would definitely go back again to try other trips provided in the hotel next time.
With limited food available at Aoraki, the Lodge allows and promotes a self-catered stay. There was a microwave and small bar fridge in the room and then additional fridges, stoves and facilities in the common area. It's in the heart of the village, close to the information centre and shirt stroll to the Hermitage Edmond Hillary Centre.
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.
affordable and cosy hostel in Mount Cook village, great views across the mountains and easy access to lots of hikes. it’s wooden interior is rustic but very cosy, and there was good heating and plenty of blankets to stay cozy - and a good sized and clean kitchen.
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.
This is about as good as it gets for a YHA hostel. The interior of the hostel has a cool wilderness lodge vibe to it, the dorms are clean and comfortable, and the beds have curtains for privacy.
Great location, convenient to hook valley track. But there is no restroom inside the room, privacy was a problem. The youth hotel was built with wood, sound insulation couldnot be guaranted.
Perfectly situated to be so close to glacier.
Very isolated little place, needed to bring all food, though there was a hotel up the road.
Great for walking, or just relaxing..
Beautiful hotel in a brilliant setting with views of the snow covered mountains. The food was delicious & plentiful at all meals. Room was spacious, luxurious & clean.
