Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

Hooker valley trek is the main attraction there and it is closed right now
The alternate to that trek is the Sealy Tarns trek which is pretty okay
There are not too many options to eat there so it is a better option to buy your own food before you get here as there arent grocery shops here as well.

We loved the convenient location of the mount cook village. It was nice being so close to the hermitage where all the activities were based from. Even though the motel/lodge was less luxurious than the hermitage, the rooms were still very lovely (and had heated floors!). Although it wasn't the best value compared to other hotels we stayed in during our trip, the convenient location makes it very worth it.

Situated in the middle of the most fabulous senic environment Mount Cook Village offers a huge variety of shorter or day hikes that bring you into the fabulous nature of the Aoraki National Park.
In this area with the nature that sourrounds you here you you can't be other than lucky having had the opportunity to experience this.

Very quaint little set up here so you need to be well prepared as there is only one up market hotel with cafe style restaurant during the day and a fantastic restaurant for dining costing approximately $80 per person for the buffet which was very nice.
Outside of that there isn't anywhere to get any other food supplies apart from you bring.
It is a stunning location especially when you venture out into the many hiking trails provided and come across the glacier lakes and rivers

We had a great mid-winter trip to the village.
We had a great mid-winter trip to the village. It never fails to amaze. Most food types are covered but be careful with your expectations as to what restaurants cafes or bars are open for eating and drinking in the winter period.

The facilities in this location apart from one major hotel are fairly limited, so thus place is fantastic as it caters for you for doing your own cooking, laundry, sitting in the loungeroom area chatting with new people and well located to the hiking.
Your length of stay in this area is fairly short, but this accommodation would be suitable if your extending your stay

Very clean, well maintained lodge with good rooms for a lodge - we had a studio with kitchenette with french doors onto our own terrace . Communal rooms are great - large kitchen for communal cooking with several large tables and sofas opening into a deck with basically the same view of Mount cook as the Hermitage hotel !

Not much… a bit like an up market Ibis hotel! Bed was comfy and room warm.
No kitchenette so you had to pay $43 for breakfast( we drove to Twizel), no cutlery , no lift for second floor, could hear people on next floor, food at Chamois was very ordinary!

Amazing view of Tasman Glacier. Spacious room and well equipped kitchenette. Quiet environment allowing us to appreciate what Mount Cook has to offer. Conveniently situated close to walks, visitors centre and Hermitage Hotel.
