Hermitage Aoraki Mount Cook

Nestled between the towering peaks of the Southern Alps and just 55 kilometres off the Christchurch-Queenstown State Highway, the Hermitage is the gateway to the spectacular alpine wonderland of Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, a World Heritage Park.

The Hermitage complex of 214 guest rooms offers visitors a wide range of options with four levels of accommodation from deluxe hotel rooms to mid-range accommodation, comfortable one and two room motel units and A-framed chalets.

The Hermitage has now been an icon of superior accommodation and dining for over a century. This continues today with a high quality range of facilities available for all occasions. The Panorama Restaurant offers a quality dining experience whilst the Alpine Restaurant offers sumptuous buffets. Both restaurants afford diners spectacular views of Aoraki Mount Cook.

Take the opportunity to relax and unwind after an adventurous day in the park. Curl up by the open log-fire, or sit back and take in the majestic view of the Southern Alps. The Snowline Bar serves all your favourite cocktails, as well as some that you won't find anywhere else. The bar also has an extensive selection of wines and beers from New Zealand and around the world. In the Chamois Bar travellers can sit back and enjoy an authentic New Zealand pub meal, and unwind in the newly refurbished bar. The big screen TV brings alive major sporting events, and guests can enjoy a game of pool with the locals.
