Quiet room with a private patio view of Mt. Cook. Comfortable bed, wonderful common lounge and kitchen for guests to make meals, or rest after a long day of hiking, and a deck with beautiful views of Mt Cook and surrounding mountains. Easy parking, and hikes and a few restaurants within short walks.
