What our travelers think about their stay

Seasoned Traveller

In the heart of the New Zealand Alps, the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park is a must for hiking fans.

My suggestion

Stay a while if you'd like to follow the numerous trails in the park. At night, stars light a clear, unpolluted sky - the region is an observation point for the Milky Way.

My suggestion

Make sure that you check the weather forecast thoroughly before heading to Mount Cook to avoid making the trip, only to return without seeing anything at all.
