Great location to stay if visiting Mt Cook

Valley view room was superb, room clean and comfortable. Would have given 5 stars across the board however, still some issues they need to work out regarding their heater and telephone. Heater stopped working after we came back from dinner, luckily we found some extra blankets to keep us warm overnight. Phone was not working either.

Great position and stunning views

Beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony. Motel style with bar and restaurant. Room was nice, reception area had an awful smell, not sure what is was, possibly the carpet. However, we were not staying in reception! So overall a nice property.

Room above us was noisy. Options to eat and sleep are limited in the whole area, so felt good about the choice to do some great hiking.

Room with a view down the valley was worth the extra cost. Requested in advance that beds be set as 2 singles. This hadn't been done but was quickly rectified. Limited dining options is our only grumble. Excellent base for a few days

Loved it

We really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms seem updated and clean, and had great views (the front rooms have a better view of the mountains of course). Also the on site restaurant was perfect for dinner.

The motel staff was great ! They definitely need to think of a shuttle to go to and from motel to Hermitage specifically for senior travellers. Hermitage average service inspire of making a reservation for dinner they messed it up. Had a similar experience for the experience booked but Sophie was great there and sorted out the issue quickly.

Very comfortable rooms with modern fittings, perfect for 1-2 nights. Staff were friendly and the building feels quite new. Downsides were that breakfast is not on site despite there being a restaurant upstairs (which was good for casual dinner), the shower is too low for tall people to stand underneath, no lamps / dimmable lights in the room, and had an issue where there were no parking spots left so had to use a disabled bay. Would still recommend to stay here.
