Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was only one dinner option the first night - $85 pp buffet. It was nice, but more than I’d have liked to spend. From Wednesday to Sunday there’s another cheaper option at the lodge which served really great pizza and burgers. Super convenient for all that the national park has to offer. You just need to be aware of the food situation and be organised.

I think everything about the accommodation was perfect. However, since it was the low season, we went to the front desk of the Hermit Hotel to check in. There were four staff members at the counter, but only two computers were available for use. As a result, we had to wait a long time. Moreover, there was no clear queuing system, and three families cut in line directly in front of us. Although we raised this issue with the front desk, they told us we still had to wait behind them, which made me feel very unfair.

We were unaware that ALL dining options in the entire village were closed other than the buffet which cost $83 per person - how convenient! We had to cop it on the first night and get cold food from the cafe and store it in the mini fridge for the second night. They know how to make their money.

We stayed for 2 nights. Very clean and modern room. Great shower and comfortable room. Loved being in the park for convenience to hiking. We weren’t thrilled with the pub or buffet though and there are very limited dining options in the park. We knew that going in, but probably wouldn’t stay here again for only that reason.

We got upgraded to the Hermitage because of limited capacity during winter season. It was a nice upgrade in terms of us getting complimentary breakfast but it also meant that we could not cook our own food. There was no kitchenette at the Hermitage. The Hermitage was an old hotel and honestly has seen better days. It is dated but at least it is clean. Breakfast spread was great too.

Very interesting place

We found the Mount Cook Lodge & Motel to be very unique, in that the units were like small apartments. They had a kitchen, and besides a queen bed in the main room with a pullout sofa and a table, there was a separate bedroom with two twin beds. The bathroom had a heater, which was nice for cold mornings. Everything is close together, so even if you go do activities in the Hermitage, it's nice to come back to the Mount Cook Lodge where it's a little quieter and there are a fewer tourists.
It was nice to have a bench outside our unit to take in the views.
