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.
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 place is simple yet wonderful- it is tired , it is old and it is like you are back in the 70's but they have kept it clean , warm and welcoming with an incredible view of Mt Cook... unlike other places it has the added value of an old styled lounge, kitchen ,open plan room upstairs for everyone to cook, relax in with an outdoor deck to take in the breathtaking views. Its also a 1 minute walk from the hermitage hotel for your dinner, breakfast or cocktail... the price point, cleanliness and everything close by ...you cannot fault it :-)

It turned out so much better than I expected! I was a bit worried after reading some reviews, but honestly it was great. The 8-bed room was quite spacious (actually more spacious than 4 bed-room Haka Wanaka). There’s even a sauna and a nice mountain view from the common area. Within walking distance to the Hermitage Hotel, and about a 10-min walk to the Hooker Valley trail

Location with the views of the mountains and a quiet, away from the main road. Parking next to room, big modern room with excellent facilities and nice porch at back. Restaurant only a short walk away in the next door hotel, with spectacular dining room window looking up at the mountains. Wifi was good.

Location is great if you want to have early start for trekking. Both daily views and stunning nightsky. Rooms were comfortable. Breakfast on nearby hotel was costly but food and selection were great
