The staff were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We had a smooth check in and felt very comfortable in our room. Everything was very clean and comfortable. During our stay they had about 14 in of snow fall which made all the mountains even more dramatic and beautiful. The nearby restaurants were great and walkable. We would love to stay again when we return ro New Zealand. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Timothy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Aoraki Court Motel was clean and comfortable with larger than usual rooms for this type of accommodation. The shower head was a bit frustrating as it sent a column of water rather than a stream but it was nice and hot when needed on cold days. Parking arrangements mean unloading on a cold, rainy, windy day was difficult without getting wet as there's limited shelter outside the door to the room.
