8/10 Very good

Great location for Mount cook national park. Stay was great although they did charge us twice which was inconvenient
Hollie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Accommodation was excellent as was the Hermitage Buffet
Nicole, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The check-in location was very confusing. When I FINALLY located it, there was no parking out front. The 2 women at the reception were not very friendly. The grounds outside all around and the buildings exterior of the motels themselves were rundown. Paint chipping and peeling on exterior and doors, mildew, weeds growing out front, muddy and plant droppings all right outside of entrance. Overpriced and NO AMENITIES. The inside was surprisingly decent and clean.

10/10 Exceptional

The motel is one of the best I ever stayed in during my New Zealand trip. It is new, parking is convenient, service is good. It is also near to the Tasman Valley track. I love my stay over there.

Had everything we needed. full kitchen in the motel units. but check time of year and what facilities are open for dining.
Pamela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great property with amazing views inside the room and all around the property!! It's located in such a peaceful area. Looking forward to visiting again.
Simran, 1-night trip

was a clean warm place with magnificent views
Sheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very quiet considering the number of rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Small, but enough space. Comfy bed. Heated tiles in bathroom were so lovely after a long day hiking in the snow. The laundry was a reasonable walk and a little hard to find, even with directions. Limited food options especially Monday and Tuesday nights, so be organised or prepared to pay $$$ for dinner at the Hermitage. It was good food but expensive. Dinner at the Chamois onsite was good food and reasonable priced, but only open Wednesday to Sunday.
Katharine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

World class hotel facilities in a beautiful, remote location. I definitely feel I got my money’s worth for the comfort and services offered at this spotless, spacious hotel in the middle of a National Park.

This was a great experience and I loved the cafe upstairs!
Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Looks completely different from the pictures, and theres a weird smell in the lodge
