Located within the working farm amongst the deer and cattle on the southern side of the Jollie River, the Moa Hut Camp area was originally used to house the shepherds, their dogs, and horses while mustering at the station many years ago.
We have 4 powered campervan sites and 2 non-powered sites available.
The exterior is new and refreshing, painted in the original colours, while the interior kitchen lounge area is original Rimu wood with 2 new and refreshing full bathrooms. All cooking utensils are supplied.

Mt Cook Station is a working station and we do not allow visiting dogs on the property.
Insect Repellent is essential in the summer months.
Because of the remote nature of Mt Cook Station, it would be best to fuel up your vehicle before arriving. If you are driving an EV, please ensure this is fully charged in Tekapo or Twizel before you begin your journey to us.
Limited to no mobile phone coverage, but there is Wifi available.
During winter months snow may make the access roads impassable or chains may be required.
The station is approx 40mins – 1-hour travel from Lake Tekapo Township along mostly gravel roads. See directions here.

We absolutely loved our cosy stay at this peaceful place. The views were beautiful, the hosts lovely and the room was all warm and waiting for us. Was absolutely perfect to come back to after a long hike. Looking forward to going back in the future.
