A wonderful stay with beautiful views
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Aoraki Court Motel. Our room was spotless with thoughtful decorative touches and we had everything we needed. The views of the surrounding mountains were fantastic.

Lovely to hear Hina, thanks for this review. Take care.
Wow! Fabulous accommodation
Wonderful studio accommodation, very clean with all the amenities you will need. They inform you that you will need to bring your own provisions so no complaints from me about that, they have small provisions if you do forget, the eggs were great. The drive to the resort just WOW. Thank you, I’ll be recommending you to everyone I know that is coming your way.

Hi there Sandra, many thanks for this review. Lovely to hear from you and safe travels whilst you are here in New Zealand.
A Surprising Stay among the Mountains
Our stay at Aoraki Court was excellent! The rooms were large, beds comfy, the kitchen modern, wifi good and the entire place so clean. Extra bonus – great shower pressure! Ideal for after a few hours tramping in the wilderness. It was quiet and close to everything; we felt that we were literally one with nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Aoraki Court again and will be suggesting it to friends.

Thank you, Lorraine, for your review. Hope you had a wonderful time with us in the National Park.
3 nights Mt Cook
Nice and clean accomondation. Beds are quite soft though. Fantastic view over mountains and near by the restaurang and the big hotel. There is no possibility to buy groceries nearby.
Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Cheers Riikka for your nice words. Yes, we will be replacing those softer beds as we move through the complex. All the best.
Great view and accommodation
A perfect stay here with a lovely chalet that was exceptionally well equipped. The spa bath was especially welcome and the view of Mount Sefton was amazing.

Second time
We stayed at Aoraki Court Hotel 10 years ago and knew it was the place to stay on our return trip, and it did not disappoint!! We stayed 3 nights. Same fabulous views, very quiet, very comfy bed and shower, and nice kitchenette. Staff was super friendly, same as last time. Nice walking path that starts at the motel, so you don’t have to walk on the street.

An experience like no other!
We stayed two nights at the Aoraki Court complex. The facilities provided were perfect for our stay. The mountain views were amazing. We self-catered and brought all the food necessary for our stay.
Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Great to hear back from you team McCarthy. Thanks for these nice kind words. Great to hear that you had a wonderful stay within the Village. Safe travels.
Very Comfortable!
Our family of 4 stayed 2 nights. Loved the kitchen (including the oven) as we cooked all our meals during our stay. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious and clean. Nice mountain view from our unit. Tip for travelers: Bring your own HDMI cable to connect to the TV if you want to watch Netflix.
Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Thank you, Patrick, for this review. Great tip too thanks. We will be upgrading all TV’s in the complex to Smart TV’s once we finish the extension to the complex, eta Nov/Dec 2026. Cheers.
MAGNIFICENT VIEW
The view is breathtaking from our room. It is also quiet and peaceful. We did a short hike in the evening to look at the glacier and the green lake. It is awesome! I especially like the kitchen. Though small, it is well-equipped and the utensils are all in good condition. It is easy for me to prepare simple meals for my family. Aoraki Court is definitely recommended if you wish to stay at Mt Cook.

Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Superb to hear back from you Ramona, all the best and take care.
Overall clean and pleasant but needs some minor attention to detail (see below)
Clean and well appointed but could do with side tables in lounge and at least hooks (or cabinet) in second bedroom to hang clothes. Lack of drying room/storage for outdoor gear.
Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Thank you, Chris, for your constructive feedback. We will discuss various options to improve on what we have. Cheers

Located at the best view of Mt Cook.
Response from Aoraki Court Mount Cook Aspen Court
Thanks, Asif, for your review. We actually look straight up at Mt Sefton and The Footstool….both exceed 3,000 meters above sea level and are a marvel to look up at. Covered in hanging glaciers and rock, amazing. All the best and safe travels.
Wish we had more time there
Room was clean and located in walking distance to food/bar etc. great spa bath appreciated in room after hike. Woke to the most amazing sunrise out our window with beautiful backdrop of mountains.

The apartment was spotless, kitchen was very well equipped for self catering, everything you could possibly want. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and it was incredibly quiet.

Comfy beds. Hermitage and Cafe easy walk. Walking trails to Hooker Valley Track and Tasman Glacier View Track, just a short drive away. Just loved it here, so glad we canceled our booking elsewhere.
