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.
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.

The building is in need of a refurbishment.. I’m aware that hotels in the area have trouble attracting permanent staff .. that said they ( the hotel ) charge a higher Tarif than a hotel in swizzle or other 50 klm nearby towns without to amenities justifying the expense .. the end result in this financial model is a Tarif that attracts no customers and a worn out building ..
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.
We had an amazing view, a full kitchen, a bedroom, a table by the sliding door, a couch, all was clean. this was the family unit of the mount cook lodge and motel. Not to be confused with the heritage hotel, which is more of a high-rise. Lots of hiking trails nearby, there is the wonderful glacier explorer cruise, which we loved.
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.
Great room, very quiet and clean.
The manager was very friendly and gave some good local advice.
We had a great view of the glaciers near Mount Cook, but couldn't see the mountain itself.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Aoraki Court Motel and recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
No Mount Cook view, but there was a decent view across the valley. I booked the motel room (not my idea of a lodge) as it was located at Mount Cook village. However Mount Cook village was a big disapointment. Hooker Valley walk was excellent.
Great experience. Lovely staff who always helped us with everything. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds that don't squeak like in other hostels. The best location and there is also a sauna as a bonus.
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.
Great to wake up with the view of Mount Cook in front of you. The dinner buffet, which is paid additionally, is good and with great variety. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed!
Nice fancy hotel stop for us with our 6 month old. Great laundry facility, warm rooms and just a beautiful place to sit and have a beer while viewing Mt Cook and the surroundings.
