Good environment but bad service, not any service to help customers in snow days. We pay so expensive price but even didn’t help us to remove snow in car park. View is beautiful but room is ver small and limited facilities and dining is expensive, everything in this hotel is expensive
This property was in a great location for exploring Mt. Cook/Aoraki National Park! While there was free parking, I could see how it may get filled up during busy season. The rooms were spacious and had great views; however, you could hear your neighbors clearly and the water pressure in the bathroom was pretty low. Restaurants and activities on site for convenience.
Disappointing we had to wait for the room to be cleaned as their check in time is an hour later than anywhere else we have stayed, otherwise staff were friendly and helpful. Looking for the entrance to our accommodation block we could not find it at we thought it was the laundry/housekeeping area will trolleys of laundry at the entrance and in the hallway to the room. Food was excellent, room was neat and tidy, overall it was a pleasant stay.

Disappointed with this property. For the price I would’ve expected a lot more. Rooms are old and not updated. There is very limited parking and not many options for evening dining.
