Fodor's Expert Review Aoraki Court Motel

26 Bowen Dr., Aoraki Mount Cook, Canterbury, 7946, New Zealand

Being fully self-catering is a huge plus with the lack of shopping in Mount Cook Village, and Aoraki Court Motel has 25 modern studio or two-bedroom units, all of which have kitchenettes. While Mt. Cook itself isn't visible from here, you get spectacular views of Mt. Sefton and the surrounding mountains, and you may get mugged by the cheeky paradise ducks trying to break into your room. Buy groceries at Twizel or Lake Tekapo before you arrive, or dine at the Hermitage Hotel farther down the road.

PROS

  • great walks right out the door

CONS

  • free Wi-Fi is patchy due to the remote location
