Brown House is a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the spring/summer Mount Cook crowd. Very conveniently located for skiers come autumn/winter. We loved waking up to the mountain views and the beautiful views coming into town of the lakes were spectacular! Well equipped place with a dvd library that could keep you watching for a year. A real highlight for us were some NZ movies and tv shows that we couldn't see living in the states!
