Save The Hermitage recently attained the 'Best Room WIth A View' award by Jasons Travel Media.
Mt Cook's iconic hotel is in trouble with the Commerce Commission.
The four-star Hermitage has admitted breaching the Commerce Act with a package that linked a night at the hotel with compulsory dinner and breakfast.
The commission says that as the only provider of accommodation in Mt
Cook Village, the Hermitage has a great deal of market power.
The dinner, bed and breakfast rate impacted on the only other eatery in the village, The Old Mountaineers, and also limited consumer choice.
After a call from the commission, the Hermitage dropped the deal.
