The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but the peaceful scenery and rich breakfast more than make up for it. It's perfect for a relaxing, slow-paced stay. There's a laundry room available, and nearby, you can find a roadside stall selling wood-fired pizza, which is absolutely delicious and authentic. There are also plenty of other eateries around.

I paid over USD 300 for a room that was a huge disappointment. The hotel feels very old and outdated. The bathroom was stinky, and shockingly, bubbles were coming out from another hole after I used the shower—hygiene was clearly an issue. When I brought this up, the front desk was unhelpful and unwilling to change the room, instead demanding another NZD 100 for an upgrade. Staff was not friendly, and there were no greetings during breakfast. Definitely not worth the high price. Avoid if possible.

The hotel is old, but the interior has been renovated. There's no elevator, so if you're on the second floor, you'll have to carry your luggage up yourself. The room is spacious enough, and the garden is also quite large.

We had a good two night stay at Distinction Mackenzie Country Hotel. It was well located and an easy drive to the attractions of Mount Cook Aotaki. The hotel was also well placed for our subsequent drive to Queenstown. The room was spacious and clean and we enjoyed a comfortable stay.
