Where to Find Motel Accommodation in Aoraki Mt Cook

Bring your own food supplies to Mt Cook Village and stay in one of the self-contained studios and apartments. Aoraki Mt Cook has a small selection of motel rooms for travellers, offering essential amenities, like a kitchen and ensuite bathroom, at your fingertips. However, you’ll need to book quickly with so little accommodation for so many tourists. Staying in the motels in Glentanner or Twizel nearby are good alternatives. Find the motel to suit you with this list of the best motels in Mt Cook!
