We were very pleased with our stay at Aoraki Court Motel. The room is spacious, comfortable and the kitchenette is perfect for making some meals. We really appreciated the warm welcome, cleanliness of our room and the Nespresso machine :) We would definitely stay here again as it is close to some trails and walking distance to restaurants. Beautiful views from our room as well and a friendly Paradise Duck couple

Tranquility,comfort and views!
This was the perfect little hideaway to base myself to enjoy the beauty of Mt Cook. A friendly welcome, a parking spot right outside my unit, and a spacious and comfortable room with my own little veranda looking right out to the breathtaking mountain views. Peaceful and comfortable and away from the crowds, with restaurants just an easy stroll away.
