South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Mount Cook ▷
2.5/5
In good weather, the place might get bonus points, but unfortunately we didn't have any.
Otherwise, it was rather mediocre!
Apart from the fact that, as is often the case, the lounge and dining area is far too small (with only a moderately full campsite), the facilities and sanitary areas leave a lot to be desired.
The cookers are greasy, handles are missing on two-plate cookers and the kitchen is generally quite cramped when preparing food.
If you go to the men's toilet, you almost fall into the urinal, some of the handles on the washbasins don't work, people blow-dry their hair under the hand dryer, and here, too, the ceilings are very narrow and quite low.
But you have no choice if you want to go to the Aoraki area, unless you stay in a classy hostel in Mount Cook Village or take the Top 10 in Twizel and have the journey, although I don't know what it's like because I haven't been there!In good weather, the place might get bonus points, but unfortunately we didn't have any.

I can't understand how you can objectively rate this place with 10 points.
