Aoraki Court Motel

Mount Cook Village

Aoraki Court Motel is a modern accommodation located in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park. All units feature great views of surrounding mountains and Mount Sefton. There is free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi. This place was truly amazing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It surpassed the Hermitage Hotel by far, with exceptional facilities and a warm welcome from the owner. The unobstructed view of Mount Cook and the welcoming presence of the super cute duck couple added to the charm. 🦆🦆The spa facilities were absolutely perfect. Everything felt new and well-maintained, and the rooms were cozy and incredibly comfortable. I had also stayed at the Hermitage Hotel, but I was truly disappointed by its higher price and inadequate amenities. I am so grateful for the experience here🥰🌏🏔️
