Amazing views and good selection of dining options. The room we had was in the original part of the hotel and located under the staircase which was not ideal as the stairs creek. Otherwise a great spot at the base of Mt Cook.

Eddy from Front desk, was extremely professional and friendly. Our housekeeper on first 3 days was professional and friendly (sorry didn’t get her name) This was our third stay at the resort. Next time, want to try the Cook Suite. Like to see a bathtub in plus suites. I would pay more. The shower (water) pressure in room was low. (useless) Not water saving if it takes you 10-15 mins for a shower - if you want us to take 2-5 mins. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
