The property was ok for a short stay. It was a bit run down, but the cafe with mini golf next door were good.

Close to main road so easy to find but far enough away as not to be noisy at night.

DO NOT STAY HERE ON A MONDAY
The motel unit was fantastic and cozy. Had 3 single bed in the upstairs and a queen down stairs. Was nice and tidy. However the town really disappointed us. On mondays apparently everything is closed. We got in at 8 and there was no food establishment open so we had to skip dinner. But the room nonetheless was great! So defiantly stay here but just not on a Monday.

It's a nice place for hiking/visiting Aoraki/Mount Cook national park. While it's about 45 minute drive from the park it's much less expensive than staying in the park. The Mountain Chalets Motel is well maintained and has a full kitchen.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was spacious and quiet. Even though it did get cold at night, I was fine with their comfy blanket and electric mattress pad. Definitely recommend it!

Unique experience, we were generally happy with the night we spent there. Only downside was the sink tap in toilet, should install a mixer as it was hard to wash with 2 taps(hot/very cold).

The shower water pressure needs to improve, and the shower drain needs to be looked at as it drains away very slowly.

A convenient stop for our visit to nearby Mt Dobsin. Clean and tidy. Very comfortable bed, hot shower and effective heatpump. The most important items for any stay and essential in -9 degree temperatures.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Good location. Had to report to the Owner /Mnger the following:
Batteries missing in the bedroom TV remote
No light bulb in the bedroom bedside light
Kitchen cupboard doors were very loose
No proper Wardrobe...had 2x clothes hangers only.
We recommend a modernised general update & focus on maintenance ... the Owner/Mngr responded by telling me that she would follow up our report with the young cleaners. We again recommend that all reports shld be followed thru by the Mngr/Owners NOT the cleaners.
