Mt Cook Lodge & Motels

10/10 Excellent
"This was a beautiful room in a very beautiful, dramatic setting. It was extremely clean with a very comfortable bed. TV was a bit fiddly to get working but overall very nice. My only gripes were a) the fridge... too small and not cold enough, b) the tiled shower floor was extremely slippery when wet, be careful!!! and c) you had to call reception to turn the heating up or down, which they only seemed to do after about three attempts. Otherwise, great."
