Accommodation
The Mount Cook village has a small range of accommodation to cater to all budgets.
Hermitage Hotel Mt Cook
The
Hermitage Mt Cook is synonymous with the Mt Cook village because the grand hotel acts as a centre piece for the small settlement. The main part of the hotel offers various luxurious hotel rooms, most with spectacular views of Mt Cook and the surrounding mountains. The Hermitage Hotel also has various facilities on offer including a range of restaurants and drinking holes. See our
Hermitage Hotel review for more information.
The Hermitage also has other accommodation options including self-catering motel units and cosy chalets, and they have plans to develop backpackers’ accommodation in the near future.
