I was actually looking at The Hermitage Hotel for the 5 of us which was closer to Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo. We did not managed to get any rooms at the hotel and good thing we didn't cuz GreyStone is such a cool place! Very happy with the house, the furnishings and details the owners have put in and impressed by the story behind the construction of the house and their support of the natural environment and sustainable tourism practices.
