Good room - comfortable big king bed, lovely shower. Room was small and wifi was spotty. But nice for a one night stay. The hotel rooms are very small for the tariff and any more than 1 night, I would recommend a larger room. But pleasant staff, easy checkin and quiet location.

The room we ended up in was good. Be careful when booking because all the pictures are of the upgraded rooms. We even book a king room and when we arrived the room felt more like a closet. The restroom was bigger than the rest of the living space. We went back to the desk and upgraded and the second room was way better. Very comfortable and relaxing with a great view. Was definitely frustrating to have to pay extra though for what we thought we would receive initially.

Overall a nice resort location after visiting Mount Cook, but at night time it’s impossible to see where you’re walking, so you need a flashlight or your phone. Also my room was so small that I literally could not put my suitcase on the floor and open it without walking into it while getting to the bathroom - so it was realllly hard tight having 2 people in the room. Kinda overpriced for how small of a room it was, especially during a low season. Thankfully I only booked 1 night!

The view is amazing! The breakfast is worth the price. The facilities are kinda old but the room is clean and big. There is a plaza nearby with lots of restaurants and shops. But it's not walkable in the night time cause there is no light on the street.
