A look at NZ's biggest hill
Disappointing we had to wait for the room to be cleaned as their check in time is an hour later than anywhere else we have stayed, otherwise staff were friendly and helpful. Looking for the entrance to our accommodation block we could not find it at we thought it was the laundry/housekeeping area will trolleys of laundry at the entrance and in the hallway to the room. Food was excellent, room was neat and tidy, overall it was a pleasant stay.

Must book a room with Mountain View. The view is amazing. Room is much spacious than I expected. Clean & Neat. All the staffs (including the cleaners) are super friendly and helpful. I am glad that I decided to stay with Hermitage Hotel. Unforgettable experience and highlight of my NZ trip.

Excellent location for all Mt Cook related activities. The room was spacious, and the view of the mountain incredible. We had a snowstorm overnight and staff were incredibly helpful with providing us with advice and scrapers to remove the snow. Also the buffet dinner was one of the best I've ever had. So much variety and well worth the expense. Would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed with this property. For the price I would’ve expected a lot more. Rooms are old and not updated. There is very limited parking and not many options for evening dining.
