We loved our stay here! The rooms have everything you need for your stay at Mount Cook. Be sure to grab groceries before arriving to the park to cook in the well appointed kitchenette. Room 26 had an incredible view of the mountain it was stunning!

The absolute highlight of this property is its unbeatable proximity to the best hiking spots in the area. We were able to spend less time driving and more time on the trails. Within a short drive, we accessed [You can insert the name of a specific famous trail or area here, e.g., 'the entrance to the Red Rock Canyon trail'] and several other fantastic lookout points. For anyone prioritizing outdoor adventure and maximizing trail time, the location is simply ideal. It’s not just close to nature, but also conveniently near the main living areas/town, making grocery runs and dinner easy.

The view of Mt.Cook was incredible. Although the description of the hotel mentions that each room has a view, I was still surprised when I pulled back the curtains. Just wow! The room itself was clean and comfortable, and the surrounding paths, trails, and walkways kept us outdoors until after sunset. We were fortunate to have witnessed a beautiful sunset, too.

Arrived during a heavy rainstorm. Inside, our room was very inviting. Quite clean, and large enough for the 4 of us in two bedrooms. Beautiful views of the mountains. We used the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Beds were dreamy comfortable.

Stunning views from a really nice motel. Very short drive or small walk to the Mount Cook hiking trails. Only downside was the "full kitchen" could do with a few things like cooking oil, spices and herbs, that people aren't likely to bring.
