Old Mountaineers Café, Bar & Restaurant

Relax at this iconic café, bar, and restaurant with an extensive historic photographic gallery full of character and spirit.

This is the only business within the Aoraki/Mount Cook Village officially opened by Sir Edmund Hillary and is steeped in history. Relax with great organic coffee, excellent food options, a cold beer or wine – and all with stunning views of Aoraki/Mount Cook.

Recommended by Lonely Planet as “their pick” and also recommended by Rough Guide. Bookings for parties, weddings and groups are welcome – the owner Charlie Hobbs is also a registered marriage celebrant.
