The hotel has been newly renovated. Everything is clean and new. I would happily stay here again. The only complaint is that we were there for 4 days and at check-in, we were told that the towels would be changed after the second day and that the rubbish bin etc would be emptied.  We were ok with this, however, they were never changed, and the bin was never emptied. We went to reception the following day, and new towels were provided. It would be better if they just said to come and collect more towels and supplies when needed. This would eliminate any confusion 
This was fabulous accommodation.  The rooms were spacious, exceptionally clean, very comfortable and everything you needed and everything well thought out.  
I would definitely stay here again if I was visiting the Mount Cook area or just passing by.  
The shops are just up the road, everything was a short walk away.  
The room and interior design is very new and clean, the open kitchen is very well equipped. You can get free milk from the reception.
I cooked my own dinner and breakfast, very nice view on the balcony to enjoy my meal.
