What a location. The Hermitage is within Aoraki Mt Cook National Park with an absolutely stunning outlook to Mt Cook and surrounding mountains. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the beds super comfortable. Everything you need is here. We did the hooker valley day walk, Tasman Glacier jet boat and chopper landing on the glacier. All were outstanding. Cannot recommend more highly

Dear PipW797 Thank you for choosing to stay with us during your recent visit to the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. The team and I enjoyed reading that you had a great stay and your specific mention of our friendliness was highly rewarding. We receive many positive comments regarding the beds which is important after walks in the park. It was fantastic to see that you took the opportunity to enjoy two of the unique experiences available with the jet boat and chopper, seeing the glacier from the two perspectives is truly memorable. We greatly appreciate your kind recommendation and hope to see you back here soon. Kindest Regards Simon Douthett General Manager

We had a stunning view from our clean room. Unfortunately we were very unhappy about our dining experience in the snowline bar. We ordered the steak for two. Can’t remember the last time we had such a bad meal. Kids food was very average as well. We would have loved to eat in the restaurant right next to it but it was fully booked. When booking the room we didn’t get advised to book a table because of high demand or maybe not enough staff.

Dear SaskiaW40 Thank you for choosing to stay at the Hermitage Hotel Aoraki/ Mount Cook and for taking your valuable time to provide feedback on your experience. Your comment regarding the room cleanliness has been shared with our housekeeping team. It was disappointing to read that you did not enjoy the steak dish and kids meals available in the snowline bar. We are currently in the process of redesigning our menu for the bar and this will be released in March. The steak dish however remains on this menu due to popularity so I would appreciate if you could provide me with further details on what let the dish down. My email address is simon.douthett@hermitage.co.nz if you wouldn't mind sending me your detailed feedback. Thank you for your advice on the restaurant being fully booked for the time in which you were looking to dine, and the recommendation for advice when rooms are being booked. I am working with our Sales and Marketing team to review the information we provide on our website, confirmation email and by phone. The team and I do hope that you will return in the future to experience the service we can really deliver. Kindest Regards Simon Douthett General Manager

I booked a premium king bed room and we were on level 10. OMG the views are amazing, the hotel complex and restaurants we superb, the staff were exceptional and every one was very friendly. We stayed for 2 nights the first day and night the weather was wet and blowing a gale but it didn’t stop us from walking the Hooker Valley track, didn’t manage to see Mount Cook close up due to low cloud. The views and Mountains were so awesome. I would no hesitate to recommend the Hermitage we will bring back our 2 sons and their girlfriends next time i definitely want to come back real soon. I just loved it!! Thank you Hermitage Hotel 🤗

Dear rock203 Thank you for your kind review on Tripadvisor and for so accurately describing the setting in one word, Magical. All of us here at the hotel feel very privileged to live and work in the National Park, and to be able to share it with everyone who visits. The views of the mountains are very contrasting based on the weather and it was great to hear that the track was worth it after you persevered. I have personally shared your feedback with the team and they were so appreciative that you have given us such a strong recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back with your two sons and their girlfriends very soon. Kindest Regards Simon Douthett General Manager

We booked a standard king room with a view of Aoraki/Mt. Cook on te second floor of the main building...... Wow!! what a view. We woke just before sunrise and watch the sunlight arrive on to Mt. Sefton and Mt. Cook Spectacular. From check-in to check-out our whole experience was amazing. The facilities were excellent and the staff were so lovely - helpful in every way. Our dining experiences were wonderful, the food and beverages were excellent. Everyone was so helpful. We did the Hooker Valley walk to Hooker Lake and did not find it difficult - we are in our 60's. We also did the Tasman Glacier lake boat trip - wonderful. We would thoroughly recommend both of these to everyone. Both are quite amazing. A must stay/do place for everyone.

We booked this premium room directly from the hotel website (It did not seem to be on any booking site) at a very reasonable price. It was large with a telescope area and on the top floor of the tower block. It had a shower over the bath but otherwise was superb.
