The only redeeming feature of this hotel is if you get a good room that has an exceptional view of the mountains ahead. Other than that I would never ever stay here.

We stayed in twin room with windows overlooking mountains. Very comfortable stay. This was our first experience of sharing bathroom but it went very well. The location is perfect and Hooker Valley track was just 5 mins drive. Overall we highly recommend Haka House.

The place is lovely and in the middle of nature, the best we had on our 10 days trip on the south island. We stayed in 'Tom's hut', this is detached from the main building but right next to it. The hut is very cosy and the heating is very strong. We also really liked the common areas with the big kitchen and the fireplace with firewood. While staying there, we hiked across the farm and beyond on land that's not public to enjoy the beautiful scenery, a unique experience. Thanks Alana for being so helpful and for her kids showing us the farm animals :)

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.
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.

Have previously stayed at YHA Mt Cook, and it has undergone a huge upgrade since converting to Haka House. Each dorm room is very practical; each bed has hooks for hanging, curtains for privacy, powerpoints and a lamp and little cubbies for personal items. The lockers are good sizes too. Communal spaces have been redone and there is plenty of space to relax. Staff were accommodating in allowing us to use card to rent towels rather than necessitating cash, given the only ATM at Hermitage Hotel was out of order.
The motel is not operating for almost two years. We booked in because some mistakes by booking to put the room up. I think the hermitage took over the motel. We checked in at hermitage. The hotel staff moved us to the hotel room. The hotel room is really small, I stayed at the motel before, actually prefer the motel room more. It had much bigger space. and the dinner only got buffet option. It is quite expensive to stay there.
such a great hostel! newly renovated! the rooms were amazing and felt really private with privacy curtains, outlets, shelves and reading lights! they had extra blankets which was so nice! the kitchen was really great and they had everything we needed! the facilities were amazing! the location was serene! about a 20 minute walk from all the tracks in the park!
My husband and I have stayed in other hotels in the area, and have to say Aoraki Court Motel is the best by far. The room had good space and was well cleaned. You can park directly in front of your room and don’t have to deal will stairs but still have an amazing view of the mountains. All the staff we’ve met were lovely. Will definitely stay here again.
The location is great if you're staying in Mount Cook, with it only being < 5-minute walk from the Hermitage hotel. Keep in mind though, it's important to make sure you bring your own food if you want to avoid the overpriced buffet service at the Hermitage hotel. The lodge has a kitchen space on level 2 that you can leverage to save money.
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.
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.
We stayed at the Hermitage during the Covid-19 Red Traffic Light setting. The Hermitage kept us informed of the changes made by the hotel to keep us safe during our stay. They were very efficient and very attentive. The team was friendly and helpful.
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.
Helpful reception. Good lounge with nice mountain views and self-help kitchen with fridges etc for guests. Near the Hermitage Hotel, for access to a restaurant/coffee shop and start of some activities.
Location is unbeatable and the views are unmatched. Room was clean and staff were all very friendly, even though the hotel is clearly understaffed (like most places at the moment).
