Quiet room with a private patio view of Mt. Cook. Comfortable bed, wonderful common lounge and kitchen for guests to make meals, or rest after a long day of hiking, and a deck with beautiful views of Mt Cook and surrounding mountains. Easy parking, and hikes and a few restaurants within short walks.

There are limited accom options in Mt Cook and this one is good value for money, clean and comfortable. If you’re staying more than a night there are kitchen facilities. The location is spectacular and most of the rooms have views of the mountains. I would definitely stay here again
