Fantastic
From the moment we checked in we felt welcome. Our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. We couldn't have wished for more.

No Shower Door
Motel is very easy to find and the room was comfortable but the shower had no door and water spilled onto the stone floor which made it very slippery.

Very well kept property. Clean and modern inside. Nice place for the area and especially convenient for bicycle riders doing the alps to ocean trail. They offer bike storage and charging. It is a small town and not many dining options at night.

This was such a lovely stay for me and my friends! Big Sky Motel is located conveniently between Mt. Cook, and Wanaka, with clay cliffs near by and a very relaxing hot tub experience also in the town. It’s the perfect stopping point after a long day of hiking!
