Mackenzie Basin Vacation Rentals

"You can’t really ask for more. I stayed in an 8 person dorm room. It was cozy and warm, and the views of Mt. Cook were excellent. You are at the mercy of the weather in winter, but I had some luck, and was able to do all the hikes I planned in my short stay. It’s a lovely spot. Good price. Good accommodations. "

"The property was neat and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our visit. The parking was easy, which is always a plus. "

"Great stay, still under renovations. Will be even better when reno complete."

"This is our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. Our motel unit was up on a hill behind the reception area and so we had a great unblocked view of the lake, and we were able to spot bunnies from the windows at the back. There were seats on the patio and comfortable sofas in the living room that you could sit on and enjoy the view. Bedrooms were warm and the beds were very comfortable. Bathroom had a blowing heater and plenty of hot water so it was really good during the winter. Location was very convenient; you could walk to the village center by the lake. Coin-operated laundry facilities were at the end of the motel block which was convenient. However, we suggest watching over your laundry as the washing/drying is ongoing as we think someone hijacked our dryer. The dryer was already opened and our clothes weren't fully dry when we came back to collect it (we set a timer ourselves and we came before the timer rang). "

"The room was basically as advertised. The king size bed is 2 twins put together so there is a lump in the middle if you choose that option. The Mountain View was great, the kitchen and lounge area were nice as well. The whole restroom is a little tough to keep dry as the shower is the same floor. We would stay here again! "

"Location is wonderful. There are no many options for budget travelers around Mt Cook. Yet it is worth to visit. Staff are friendly. Price are competitive."

"Friendly service, lovely room, spectacular setting"

"Good place to have a getaway from urban living Abit costly but good to some quiet time midway to queenstown from Christchurch or vice versa. Get here via great sights tour if needed"

"Awesome friendly reception woman"
