Disabled room was terrible for able bodied, no vanity, tiny sink, one bedside table, no hooks in bathroom. Limited ambiance in buffet dinning area. We ordered a bottle of wine at 9.30pm, were told we couldn't take it out of the bar to our room after 9pm. We sat to drink in bar, then the staff started vacuuming and cleaning around us, weird! Building structure is amazing, fit out is old (not in a good way), needs an interior designer to take a good look at it and soften the furnishings etc. General comment is was a solid 3 Star at 4/5 star pricing, no show stoppers but plenty of small things, felt like management might be absent?

Eddy from Front desk, was extremely professional and friendly. Our housekeeper on first 3 days was professional and friendly (sorry didn’t get her name) This was our third stay at the resort. Next time, want to try the Cook Suite. Like to see a bathtub in plus suites. I would pay more. The shower (water) pressure in room was low. (useless) Not water saving if it takes you 10-15 mins for a shower - if you want us to take 2-5 mins. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Good environment but bad service, not any service to help customers in snow days. We pay so expensive price but even didn’t help us to remove snow in car park. View is beautiful but room is ver small and limited facilities and dining is expensive, everything in this hotel is expensive

This property was in a great location for exploring Mt. Cook/Aoraki National Park! While there was free parking, I could see how it may get filled up during busy season. The rooms were spacious and had great views; however, you could hear your neighbors clearly and the water pressure in the bathroom was pretty low. Restaurants and activities on site for convenience.
