Mount Cook Village Hotels with Bars

We booked a hotel at short notice. It was almost 22:00 when we arrived at Mount Cook. The front desk was already off work, so we left an envelope and keys. The facilities are just a motel, nothing special. It's okay if you just stay for one night. I took photos of the Milky Way at night. The next day we went to stay at the Hermitage. Of course, if it has facilities, we would recommend the Hermitage next door.

The room is in good condition and the facilities are all new. Parking is convenient and you can park in the parking space next to the room door. It is very close to the hiking attractions and you can see the mountains from the room door. The hotel currently does not have catering, but you can buy some snacks at the service desk. I saw eggs, so I bought some.

Please note that the entire place does not have any rooms that have ensuite bathroom, it doesn’t exist. I remembered checking on this before I booked, stated that there was an ensuite bathroom, that’s why I booked it. But when checking in, the receptionist say that it doesn’t exist, we only got a private room. He mentioned that maybe there was way back before a change in management/renovation, but now there isn’t any more. There are 4 private rooms on the 2nd floor, and 1 shared toilet and shower room for the 4 rooms, but if it’s occupied we can go the 1st floor. The room is quite tiny, with minimal space for luggage. So don’t bring all ur luggages if you are only staying 1-2 nights, pack it into 1 bag would be good, also cuz there’s no lift, you’ll have to carry up your luggage up the stairs.
