This day was exactly what we needed! There was a warm heater in the bathroom and the shower had an enclosed top so all the humidity and moisture would stay in the shower. The kitchen had all the items we needed to make a simple dinner after a hike. The beds were extremely comfortable. We even had a nice dining table for the three of us extremely clean and modern.

I loved my stay here! They call it a motel, but it is like having your own mini apartment. You are surrounded by breathtaking views too! The “room” which was a two bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, and small living room was clean and updated with minor damage on the kitchen floor from the fridge (I assume). Would recommend staying here! I hope to be back someday soon.

First of all, I have nothing against any staff and the lady at the desk who checked me in was very nice. I also booked this hotel the night before I stayed and it was the last room available. I paid $328.03 USD which is a lot for me at any given time. Now for the quality of the hotel and stay-it was not good. As soon as I opened the door, a very strong deodorizer smell hit me. With all the windows opened I left my stuff and went out to hike thinking the smell would go away. It did not. I think it’s something they left in the room. It gave me a horrible headache. People who are sensitive to smells should think twice about staying here. I was miserable. There was also no A/C in the room. It was a hot day and it absorbed a TON of heat. Way too hot for me to sleep. The mattress was also mushy and lumpy. The sheets were stained with previous guests sweat. There was also a loud clicking and popping sound coming from fridge, heater (which was off), and maybe walls? It was annoying and didn’t go away until after 5:30am. The bathroom shower is not separated from toilet and sink area but by a curtain that has about a foot of space underneath. Water goes everywhere that can’t be helped and leaves the bathroom floor very slick. There was also not enough room for any toiletries and I had to leave them on desk outside of bathroom. There is no food here. Hermitage up the hill was only $10 more per night and I went there for a couple meals. Looked to be a much nicer, updated place.

The property is in a great location with great views. The cookware in the room, the frying pan especially, was warped. A scrubbing pad should be provided in the room to help clean cookware. The rooms are not equipped with a fan so the property asks the guests to refrain from cooking odiferous foods. Cooking in the room is advantageous because food and drink prices in the village are expensive.

We review the room on the basis of value for money. The room cost the same as 5 star hotel in a major city.
We appreciate the fact that this is high season in a sought after location.
The motel has limited facilities. No cafe, restaurant.
No outside seating area to appreciate the view.
Amenities are jombo sized, not elegant. Nor comprehensive.
Cooking facilities are adequate but, for example, no oil for cooking etc.
For a reasonably priced motel we would rate good to excellent.
BUT, based on price this is just OK

Nice comfortable single level motel accommodation in peaceful Mount Cook Village. We stayed in an executive studio which was a very good size, very clean and well maintained. It has a well stocked kitchenette and dining space. We picked up provisions on route as there are no supermarkets nearby.There are a few options for eating out or takeaway at the Hermitage Hotel and Old Mountineers Cafe too. Great location in the mountains and close to walking trails and other activities.

Nice clean room. The beds are too soft. The hotel has no ice machine. I guess that is ok but they send out a notice to bring groceries as there are no stores. However the refrigerator is off and it takes awhile to cool. No way to make ice until we are leaving. They should tell guest to bring ice if they need it for a cooler etc.

We enjoyed our stay here overall. Pros: The view from the room was absolutely fabulous — truly beautiful and a real highlight. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the location couldn’t be better: close to everything and very convenient for getting around.

The kitchenette was well equipped, although a few more basics like additional coffee cups would have been helpful, as there were only two provided, which meant rewashing items more often than expected.

The con: the area that could really use improvement was the bed. It was extremely soft, and after four nights we both ended up with some back discomfort, (which is not something we are prone to). The pillows were also quite bulky and firm, and not the most comfortable for sleeping.

The property is a little worn in places, but it has everything you need and is a very pleasant place to stay. With a more supportive mattress and better pillows, this would easily be an excellent stay.

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.

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.

The staff were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We had a smooth check in and felt very comfortable in our room. Everything was very clean and comfortable. During our stay they had about 14 in of snow fall which made all the mountains even more dramatic and beautiful. The nearby restaurants were great and walkable. We would love to stay again when we return ro New Zealand. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Aoraki Court Motel was clean and comfortable with larger than usual rooms for this type of accommodation. The shower head was a bit frustrating as it sent a column of water rather than a stream but it was nice and hot when needed on cold days.
Parking arrangements mean unloading on a cold, rainy, windy day was difficult without getting wet as there's limited shelter outside the door to the room.

Accommodation was very expensive and did not offer the value for the money paid. Uncomfortable bed and linen on bed crumpled and not ironed. The accommodation should have an extractor fan to help remove condensation as well as cooking smells. Crockery was mismatched and the tv too small for the size of the room. The water was not hot. However it was useful to know in advance about the lack of amenities such as groceries and external entertainment available.

The weather didn’t cooperate when we were there for the weekend but we made the best of it. It was great to come back to the motel right in the National Park to dry off in between hikes. We loved the kitchen area to make food, the space in our room, and the heated floors. The bed wasn’t great for us but others might love it.

First of all the view is amazing!

Clean, spacious rooms. There is plenty of space for luggage and any hiking equipment. The heated floors are a nice touch and the large radiator heater gets the room nice and toasty.

Having a kitchen is convenient as dining options are limited (and expensive) buy what you need beforehand in Twizel.

There is also a laundry which is handy as you'll be getting dirty clothes on your daily hikes.

Staff are friendly and helpful.

Our room was on the end of our building and we had a wake up view of the top of the mountains. We walked to the short Governor’s Trail the afternoon we arrived. It’s pretty steep, but easy overall and perfect to get moving after a 4hr drive over. It’s a good climb Very easy access to the Hooker Lake Trail and well worth the price for a one night stay. They assign a parking spot for your unit and someone took ours when we were away at dinner so we parked in the laundry spot and our neighbor experienced the same issue. Simple rules folks.

It is VERY expensive for what it is—essentially a nice roadside motel. There are very few dining options so it has a kitchen but no plates or bowls. The bed was very soft for any back health and the TV didn’t work. To be fair, it is in the mountains but to rely only on satellites means it doesn’t work much of the time.

Friendly staff, let us check in early, park right outside room, laundry nearby with free detergent, large clean room with fully stocked kitchen. We ate dinner one night at the Hermitage Hotel and preferred this hotel and were glad we didnt pick Hermitage to stay at because this motel felt quieter and more easily accessible. It was the best choice in Mt Cook for us. The only improvement would be that it's a row of motel rooms and some, like ours, had some of the mountain views blocked by other motel rooms. It seemed one row of rooms had unobstructed views of Mt Cook mountains, so I'm not sure how to request one of those rooms, but it would have been an even better stay than our already pretty great stay if i had booked one of those rooms. Highly recommend this motel.
