The Region

Past the tussock downs of the Mackenzie Country and deep into the towering mountainous terrain of the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, The Hermitage lies in a World Heritage wilderness playground. Surrounded by the silent splendour of the Southern Alps, The Hermitage is within arms reach of the majestic Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest peak. Ice, snow, hidden valleys, lakes and glaciers offer golden opportunities for discovery, relaxation and adventure from the ground or from the air.
