Mount Hutt admin staff are the worst. I was advised in writing that there would be half day sessions for children for $119. I planned my trip budget around this information. I tried for over a month to book my sessions in and followed up numerous times only to be advised that the information given to me was incorrect. I planned my flights and accom based on the information they gave me, I would have booked elsewhere if they had given me the accurate information but now I am stuck on this mountain. Despite the fact that they know they are wrong, the Head of Customer Service has refused to honour the price quoted to me or come up with options that suit my family. In fact, her service is so poor that I need to follow up multiple times per day to even get correct information as their website is riddled with wrong information. I’m still waiting for a reply to my latest email. I've always loved going to Mt Hutt and the staff on the actual mountain are fabulous. Unfortunately, the shocking website with incorrect information and staff members who cannot think outside the box and provide quality customer service ruin it for everyone. I certainly don't recommend this mountain for families. (note from the editor: names of individuals are not included in reviews).
