Lovely renovated room, a little small but for two people it was great. It was fabulous to stay right at Mt Cook National Park and this was a highlight. Dinner was great and had great choices. Amazing location.

The motel is one of the best I ever stayed in during my New Zealand trip. It is new, parking is convenient, service is good. It is also near to the Tasman Valley track. I love my stay over there.

We had an amazing experience at Mt Lodge during our visit to Mt Cook. The location is stunning, the lodge is clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Wei at reception – she was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She gave us excellent recommendations for local hiking tracks, many of which we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of the area really helped us make the most of our trip. Highly recommend Mt Lodge to anyone visiting Mt Cook – we’ll definitely be back!

This place exceeded my expectations! I initially thought it would be more like a lodge or motel, but it turned out to be beautifully luxurious and incredibly cozy. The bed is very comfortable, and the room is spacious and well-appointed. The staff are generally friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The only slight downside is that the view isn’t particularly impressive, but everything else more than makes up for it. Highly recommended! 🌟
