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!

Lovely, clean motel room with equipped kitchen. There is also an outside grill and laundry facilities available on site. There's a grocery nearby for food supplies. Great location to stay if going to Mt Cook. The Clay Cliffs in Omarama are also close.
